First of all, the ‘Arms Race’ resulted in the development of both atomic and hydrogen bombs. The exploration of space was also a point of contention.

All is not in vain for them, fortunately, since they can be released through posting an amount called the ‘Immigration bond’, through a company like Bob Block Bail Bonds.
