    So if MOST of their nuclear weapons don’t work, how many nukes hitting the US would you say is okay? Because while it’s pretty safe to assume some, maybe even many of their nukes don’t function properly, it’s a bit much to assume none of them work, and it’s a bit much to gamble a few million lives on the idea that none of the ones that do work will actually get through.

      Or that the world would be hurt even if all of them fail before reaching their targets, or even failing in the silos (best case).

      We have enough cancerous shit in our environment as it is.
