    I have to ask, do you genuinely not understand what a nuclear war between US and Russia would entail?

      most westerners no longer live in reality. They make short poses for Facebook or Tiktok or Snapchat, they play video games for hours, they do anything to avoid researching both or all sides and to practice foresight, discipline, introspection. They numb themselves with constant convenience foods, porn, screentime of any sort, drugs, alcohol, etc. My hope for these warmongers are that they are forced to fight in the frontlines -even if they are female or 65 or have diabetes. Volunteering others to suffer isn’t “adulting”.

      I grew up in the cold war. I’ve done the drills. I know both what the fear of an all-out nuclear holocaust is, and I know that the reality will be something entirely different.

      Did you not see what happened to Russia’s latest Satan II ICBM? Thankfully that one wasn’t armed.

        No, you don’t know that the reality will be different. This is something that has never happened before, and only a certifiably insane person would try and downplay the horror of a nuclear war.

        Did you not see what happened to Russia’s latest Satan II ICBM? Thankfully that one wasn’t armed.

        Do you know how many missiles Russia has, even if a tenth of them go off we’re all fucked. And frankly, people who don’t care about dying can just kill themselves any time they want. What fucking right do you have to gamble with billions of lives of other people?

          The one doing the gambling is Russia. No one but Russia is responsible for Russia invading its neighbors.

            You can repeat that till you’re blue in the face, but it’s going to be little consolation when the nuclear holocaust starts.
