What is another word for mutually assured destruction?
Pronunciation: [mjˈuːt͡ʃuːə͡li əʃjˈʊ͡əd dɪstɹˈʌkʃən] (IPA) 
Mutually assured destruction is a term used in nuclear strategy, which refers to a scenario in which two countries possessing nuclear weapons engage in a full-scale war, leading to the destruction of both parties. This term has been used for decades to describe the dangerous and deadly consequences of a nuclear conflict between nations. However, there are several other terms that can be used as synonyms for mutually assured destruction, such as nuclear brinkmanship, nuclear deterrence, or MAD. These terms all refer to the same concept of countries holding nuclear weapons pointing them at each other to deter any attack, but their use varies depending on the context. Regardless of the terminology used, the threat of such destruction remains a pressing concern for the global community.
