Hi there,

Could you help me??

I am trying to translate a paragraph into English. Which version do you find better?

The new international environment and its scenarios of conflict have rendered the nuclear dissuasion and balance of terror doctrines inadequate. Thus, the possession and development of nuclear weapons have become even more unwarranted. If they have seemingly reduced the risks of a nuclear conflict on the same scale as that the Cold War, they have surely increased the diverse dangers of essentially rampant violence.

The new international environment and its scenarios of conflict have made the doctrines of nuclear deterrence and of the “balance of terror” inadequate. Thus, it has become even harder to justify the continued possession and development of nuclear arsenals. If, apparently, the risks of a nuclear conflict on the scale envisaged during the Cold War have decreased, the diverse dangers of uncontrolled violence have increased."

Please
