[@BrandanLee]

Having these titanic arsenals requires maintenance and supply logistics, which is an industry of big, big money in the hands of very few people. All the STS and general DoD folk are essentially minimum wage slave labor, while fantastically well paid contractors slowly eat more and more funding. The use of Nuclear Weapons has never been the point. We always fear it, but that fear is itself part of the money making equation and the perfect culpability shield. They never intend to use them, but instead continue increasing stockpiles, and that is increasing the absurd wealth these systems funnels from public to private hands. That's the real war currently ongoing, and we've been losing it for 60 years.

[@calmiken]

@@BrandanLeeYeah but people can still use them. I wish nobody ever actually meant to, but people do, and we've come close Also DoD being minimum wage slave labor is brutally true 💀

[@robertjenkins6132]

[@robertcumming9227]

Not only that but the people manufacturing and stock piling these weapons are fully aware of what would happen if they ever used them and yet they continue to make more and are increasingly making more threats involving them. Like I don't care who you are or what country you come from but it's in none of our interests to go to nuclear war it's literally just the politicians being small minded. Like I can understand going to conventional war because I'm joining the marines but nuclear war makes no sense to me.

Saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone!. The world is racing toward "AMAGEDDON" !!! And people need to get right with the Lord! If you have not read the books of (Daniel chapters 7-12), (Ezekiel chapters 37-39) (Matthew chapters 24:1-51 + 25:1-30), (1 Thessalonians chapters 1-5), (2 Thessalonians chapters1-3) and (Revelation chapters 6-19), now would be a good time. They will explain a lot about what is going on right now! These books will cover the "Wars" about to come, the Rapture, World judgement, hence the Tribulation and the Great Tribulation! These books will also be the most ominous and scary for the unbelievers and the most exciting and uplifting for those who believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior!... It is my hope and prayer that people would repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ before all these things take place, because it is going to be very, very scary if you do not and you decide to wait and see what happens.

Nukes are extremely cruel and indiscriminate weapons; the irony is that they are also almost the pinnacle of human achievement, intelligence and perseverance.

For eight years it did horrible atrocities to the civilian in Donbas, while Russia tried to find diplomatic solutions. But a precondition for diplomacy is a mutual understanding of limitations. And just like thy attitude is an example of, the west, (meaning America and his puppets) have the audacity to think that they are almighty. That they can simply dictate terms to anyone, and never themselves have to make concessions. At the end war became inevitable, as America refused to stop its march east. This have to do with a fundamental difference in how America and Russia sees the ending of the cold war. Russia sees it as a Repprochement, a way to rebuild lost connections, and hoped it would create a new world of shared understandings. America saw it as a surrender, as them winning, and as the victorious side they had to press their victory to the max. An important aggreement that America did not honour was the Gorbatjov-Bush promise that Nato would not expand one inch east. But now they are right at Russia's doorstep NATO should have been dissolved after the Warsaw pact dissolved, not expanded. It is an extremely provocative stance. With Ukraine it became existential. a simply matter of survival for the Russian federation That is how Russia sees it.

Essentially, we could survive our best attempts at destroying ourselves- and in a wierd way, that's actually reassuring. When you get right down to it, life on this tiny little mud ball we call Earth could be wiped out at any moment even if we never made a bad decision. A star could go super nova and hit us with X-rays, we could get hit with a decent sized rock, a critical species might die out do to something unforseen causing total ecosystem collapse. We could get exposed to the wrong kind of space dust. We could get hit by a gamma ray burst. There are probably plenty of ways we could get wiped out that we can't even concieve of. Life it fragile- and our planet is less than a speck compared to the rest of the cosmos. We could get snuffed out and no one out their would be the wiser- but at least knowing that it's unlikely that we will actually manage to completely destroy ourselves is nice.

It is, because it assumes it would just be russia, china, and the US lobbing nukes at each other. The nukes are being launched at everyone. That's what makes MAD scary. MAD was formulated that if someone launches nukes at someone else, they launch on everyone else too. Allies and enemies alike. Nuclear and non-nuclear countries too. Australia's getting nuked. Argentina is getting it. The fallout over the next decade will poison all fresh water for decades, and the dust will leave an irradiated layer in all soil and sediment, even that in the oceans, river deltas will be toxic and most marine life will be dead within 10 years. Algae may go extinct if the nuclear material doesn't kill it. This video is best case scenario. Not MAD scenario where every habitable spot on earth is targeted for a nuking. The real scenario is that everyone dies in less than a decade, and so does most life. P-T level event. Optimistically, humanity survives for another 75 years in deep underground shelters with food supplies, but nutrient deficiencies will add up over time. You can only recycle your waste and water so much before you run out of nutrients to support a small population. getting hit with an asteroid would be less destructive, unless it melts the crust.

The gigantic factories that have even larger machines would in fact survive, unless they were directly nuked.

@LouisE-mp8lx I think humanity would be thrown back to the Era of steam engines, or slightly before then at worst. We also have science pretty well figured out, with stuff like the periodic table and the Standard Model of physics. With stuff like patents being irrelevant, restarting human development probably could happen within a couple generations. Still horrible of course, and especially for the immediate survivors. I suspect more advanced technologies like advanced pharmaceuticals and modern digital electronics would be out of reach for awhile. Basically anything requiring advanced manufacturing. But people could maintain a decent standard of living as long as they had food. Air conditioning, plumbing, refrigeration, simple textiles, carpentry and construction.. are all well within reach of humanity even without all our fancy tools. I bet trains and walkable towns would make a big comeback in this age, as oil production would probably be reduced to a very tiny fraction of modern output. Certainly not enough to run the millions of cars on the road. And modern EV batteries? Highly doubt those could be manufactured easily, though they could possibly be scavenged. Those who emerge from the ashes would be using old technologies and any modern tech that could be scavenged from the pre-apocalypse society.

[@p00bix]

One thing I'll note for anyone who goes down the Prepper rabbit hole: A LOT of it, and I mean a LOT, is rooted in paranoid conspiracy theories, and is focused on preparing not so much for real-world-disaster scenarios but for disaster-movie scenarios. In particular, "prepper" materials tend to focus WAY too much time on how to defend yourself from hypothetical Mad Max esque roving gangs of raiders, as well as on hunting (which is only sustainable for a year tops in all but the most remote areas; if everyone hunts to survive, the wildlife population quickly collapses. Agriculture is an inescapable necessity for long-term survival), while spending much less time on the more mundane but infinitely more likely to be useful matters like treating disease or injuries without access to medical facilities, growing food without access to machinery or fertilizers, or working to rebuild communities. As a general rule--if the author of a book/article on survivalism has strong ties to any political movement, stay away.

They don't think they can win, if they did then the war would have happened already. Also, it's not only up to the politicians to take on this decision, there's an entire chain of command that needs to approve the launch of the first volley of missiles before the presidents presses the big red button themselves. This is a strange game where the only winning move is not to play it.

Saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone!. The world is racing toward "AMAGEDDON" !!! And people need to get right with the Lord! If you have not read the books of (Daniel chapters 7-12), (Ezekiel chapters 37-39) (Matthew chapters 24:1-51 + 25:1-30), (1 Thessalonians chapters 1-5), (2 Thessalonians chapters1-3) and (Revelation chapters 6-19), now would be a good time. They will explain a lot about what is going on right now! These books will cover the "Wars" about to come, the Rapture, World judgement, hence the Tribulation and the Great Tribulation! These books will also be the most ominous and scary for the unbelievers and the most exciting and uplifting for those who believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior!... It is my hope and prayer that people would repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ before all these things take place, because it is going to be very, very scary if you do not and you decide to wait and see what happens.

You're mistaking humanity's lack of desire to understand each other for inability to do so. We can all understand each other, but barriers like religion, language, culture and customs disallow nationalists from even considering it. Nuclear weapons are the greatest threat of our time, but nationalism is how we get to using them. Nationalism made Russia into the USSR, it's what makes China so dangerous, and it's what is currently fueling the wars between Russia/Ukraine, and India/Pakistan (also religion is a big part of that one) It's poisonous ideology, and exactly the kind of thing Republicans want you to adopt.
