I will say that even though the image of Russia has been embittered by the recent events, don't fear nuclear annihilation. Remember that in history two Russian men, Vasily Arkhipov in 1962 and Stanislav Petrov in 1983 prevented WW3 from happening. I believe it's because their loyalty was with the human race and not their country.

Then again, this 5 minute study was propably atleast partially based on the information, that this guy and many others alike decades ago found out, after years of intense research... as the speaker said, he was one of those scientists back then, that got the current leaders to understand what they have in their hands... The reason of this being headlined like this right now, is maybe not only gettting views, but because seems like it is now more important in long time, again to raise awareness of this. Mentioned "35 years" means only, the guy really knows what he is talking about, even though the results and conclusions he and others made back then, are not so new info anymore...

If all of us Americans were killed, then who would police the rest of the world? I’m pretty sure none of the other countries actually think they could do as good of a job of being world police, and no one would ever want a huge responsibility like that, anyway, obviously. We don’t even like doing it, ourselves, but we still do it, though, of course, just because we know it’s much better that way for the rest of the world. That’s just one of many examples of how kind and selfless we are as a nation, and it’s one of the main reasons why the whole world loves us.

Do you not distinguish between countries which are free and governed by free people verses those who are govened by oligarchs, communist systems, warlords and dictators? You say, "This isn't just our world, we share it with tons of other speciies" I underatnd your heartfelt plee for species besides human. As humans, I believe , its our duty to care for all creatures on our earth. I buried my dog this week. It hurts. But if humans can get alone with each other first, the rest of the planet's species have no chance. I agree, "life is sensitive". Well said, I'd say fragile. However I disagree with you last comment, "...and how dangerous it is to give one man this much power" Which man? Whom has given power to him? By vote? By gun? There are 9 countries with nuclear weapons and leaders fequently change under various government systems. You make public statements that seem some group has given power to one man? All I can suggest is to get educated on how the current world works and various systems that operate. Your thoughts are genuine and heartfelt, but they don't align with present day mankind.

Two nuclear powers have never been in direct conflict with each other (India and Pakistan and even India and China have had border skirmishes ) and I'd rather not find out what might happen.

There is an indescribable pain in seeing someone give so much effort to something so noble, and yet so in vain. The Greeks had no idea when they wrote of Pandora's Box that such a thing could ever exist. There is no going back, so superior diligence is needed to keep them as confined as possible.

Well, the multi-megaton nukes have already been rendered obsolete and removed from service, because they were a lot like trying to kill a cockroach by dropping a boulder on it-hit it with something so big you can't possibly miss. The problem with that strategy is that it's a lot easier to make the target survivable than it is to keep increasing the size of the weapon to attack it. Militarily, it was more effective to improve the guidance systems instead of building a nuke so big you can destroy the target even if you're off by several miles.

This is a very sobering presentation and should be seen by everyone in the world, especially all national leaders. These weapons should never have been built and some type of method should be found to get rid of them permanently. The problem is how do you verify that all nations have indeed gotten rid of them. This is a real serious issue.

While I do agree with you, the argument is that nuclear weapons deter nations such as the US and Russia from entering a war due to mutually assured destruction.

With the current events in Ukraine, the risk of this is the highest its been in decades. My city is considered a top 5 target and the Russians use 25 Megatons for strategic strikes. Just used Nukemap simulating a 25mt airburst over my city. I'm well within the guaranteed third degree burn with fire radius.

Back then, the precision of Russian missiles were not as good as US missiles, the Russian solution were to build larger nukes (i.e., a hit off target is still a hit).
