[@Orandu]

Now I ask you: what can be expected of man since he is a being endowed with strange qualities? Shower upon him every earthly blessing, drown him in a sea of happiness, so that nothing but bubbles of bliss can be seen on the surface; give him economic prosperity, such that he should have nothing else to do but sleep, eat cakes and busy himself with the continuation of his species, and even then out of sheer ingratitude, sheer spite, man would play you some nasty trick. He would even risk his cakes and would deliberately desire the most fatal rubbish, the most uneconomical absurdity, simply to introduce into all this positive good sense his fatal fantastic element. It is just his fantastic dreams, his vulgar folly that he will desire to retain, simply in order to prove to himself--as though that were so necessary-- that men still are men and not the keys of a piano, which the laws of nature threaten to control so completely that soon one will be able to desire nothing but by the calendar. And that is not all: even if man really were nothing but a piano-key, even if this were proved to him by natural science and mathematics, even then he would not become reasonable, but would purposely do something perverse out of simple ingratitude, simply to gain his point. And if he does not find means he will contrive destruction and chaos, will contrive sufferings of all sorts, only to gain his point! Fydor Dostoyevsky

Emo Nemo peace at any cost? Yes, beacause there's literally nothing worse than a nuclear war.

[@VT-mw2zb]

Emo Nemo: Historically, total victory of one side completely dominated over another in a war is incredibly rare. Most likely two sides went to war, then very little territorial change was made, but countless lives had lost, property destroyed, and wealth wasted. Then they decided that peace was a better idea and stopped the war. Trade, lives soon returned but by perverse means, resentments kept on living, and they probably would fight another war in a generation or so.The resentment of defeated France in the Franco-Prussian War led to the eagerness to France to go into WWI against Germany. Germany defeat led to resentment against France and Great Britain, and the "stab in the back" Jews myth, and then WWII. Germany was totally defeated, a rarity in history, but currently, they are the de facto leader of Western Europe. Even the people defeated and lose their identities, and lands; most of the time, the dispersed and find new lives, in new lands, with new societies, cultures, and destinies. Stubbornly clinging to your identity or past grudges sometimes lead to greater humiliations. The Jews were rare for being able to maintain their identity for that long, even resurrecting a dead language, Hebrew. However, clinging to their identity did cause them to suffer immensely historically.

Beyond the Chernobyl and Fukushima events, we have had scarce few reminders of our precarious existence.

"War was about a quarter as likely to reoccur with peacekeepers present." That's because the opposite of war is not peace, it is strength. Not in your face strength, but just the understanding that, if we go back into a war, it would not be worth the sacrifices since the strength of the opponent would be devastational. It's kind of a bullying concept. If you're weak, enemies know that, and know they can take advantage. If you are strong, they will leave you be.

Sorry as the medievalist who loves your work I still would love to see you cover one of the worst events for humans ever - the Black Death (1348). The best numbers show that nearly half of England and europe died alone - and the impact on culture was massive (rise of Protestantism and emphasis on education and the printing press, long collapse of feudalism, massive shifts in economic culture, rise of ideas of workers’ rights - see Peasants Revolt of 1381). The accounts from eye witnesses are utterly horrifying and incredibly sad; they discuss how terrified parents abandoned sick children, how bodies were piled everywhere….in villages and cities alike… There were massive casualties through the spice trade routes. Writers like Boccaccio in Italy could see the plague heading for them in the most terrifying way…

Most people don't take into consideration the fallout and radiation poisoning that follow as well as burns from the massive amount of instantly spent energy from the blast. Those people won't necessarily die immediately and as stated in the video, it can take hours, weeks, months, or even years for those effects to kill you.

[@fireantfury2539]

@@MNM-lq9te It's likely the the majority of the city will crumble. The pressure from the blast will bend steel frames and crack concrete, weakening the structural integrity of the buildings. The area inside the initial blast zone will either be vaporized or turned to dust while the rest of it get pushed outwards and shatters. During the initial blast, the edges of the effective blast zone and farther will have survivors but they are the unlucky ones.
