1983: Doomsday is telling us why nuclear weapons are evil regardless what they can or could be used for.
- The alternate timeline is basically is where World War III starts on false alarm due to a computer error, leading to the death of 1.53 billion people during the short global war, and added furthermore deaths in the nuclear aftermath. Even though this is alternate history, the timeline is telling us the importance of why we need to get rid of nuclear weapons of mass destruction before somebody who is AxCrazy gets their hands on one, or a group of hackers get ahold of one or many, terrorist organization does, and so on...
- With the advancement of technology, it is becoming more disturbing how far we can get to where a group of hackers can get their hands on nuclear weapons or a terrorist organization like ISIS getting hands on nukes. Any use of nuclear weapons would have catastrophic consequences no matter for whatever purpose. No effective humanitarian response would be possible, and the effects of radiation on human beings would cause more suffering and death many years after the initial explosion. Nuclear weapons pose a direct and constant threat to people everywhere. Far from keeping the peace, they only just breed fear and mistrust among nations. Even a nuclear war is possible to happen over any minor dispute between two nations, and there is no telling when it is possible to occur. Overall, the reality is that when it comes to having nuclear weapons, there are no safe hands. So long as any country has these weapons, other countries will want them, and the world will be in a precarious state, and with the fact that some Humans Are Bastards and Humans Are the Real Monsters when it comes to world leaders and military officers only just proves that we'll simply destroy ourselves by the use of nukes.
- And the fact that 1983: Doomsday happens by an actual computer error and someone misunderstanding it, it also proves that even anything like a error can result in a nuclear war. In fact, the Russian Federation has where they have all nuclear silos in its nation running on a killswitch program, meaning if any nuclear weapon (or more precisely, detonation) is detected within Russian territory, all Russian silos will automatically launch every single nuke at whatever nation of that missile's origin. So even if the Russians don't want a nuclear war, they can't stop or prevent due to the killswitch program being automatic. In other words, we are, on whatever scale, waiting for The End of the World as We Know It.
