What a bufoon; pretty much ensuring the destruction of the US (and maybe the world) if 'murica gets trigger happy with their nuclear arsenal
Against the darker nations first too…
Doesn’t shock me. I’ve seen a few stories over the past month implying the US is getting ready to glass China for being successful. They seem to think committing genocide will bring manufacturing jobs back or something.
Do you have any articles or reading on that in particular? I’m hoping to somehow get my family and I to China before 2026-ish, because I don’t want to be in the Amerikkkan hellhole when or if shit hits the fan.
Not particularly. But I’ve seen the occasional headlines about nuclear subs being deployed around the Middle East.
The Global South cannot get nukes fast enough. The only way to deter the US is to show that it will get glassed by everyone if it tries any shit.
Luckily the US’s non-existent industry can’t really sustain a prolonged nuclear arms race (e.g. how slow even conventional US munitions are being built). Back in the Cold War, the USA used the nuclear arms race to waste Soviet industrial resources. Now, the Global South can flip the same strategy on the US.
Unfortunately, US already has more than enough nukes to end the world. I feel like after a certain point the arms race just doesn’t matter.
Your concern is valid but don’t fall for defeatism
For sure, in my view we have to recognize that scenarios like the nuclear holocaust are possible, but we have to plan for a future where they don’t happen. As long as there is hope for a better world, then it’s worth keep fighting for it.
That’s my take as well.

This is a huge misconception lots of people have with nuclear bombs. All modern nukes are around 0.5 megatons, so no modern nukes are Tsar Bombas. That means each nuke cannot wipe out more than a ~5 mile radius max.
Humans have already tested more than 2000 nukes and we’re still here.
Not destroy the Earth. Destroy modern human civilization. Big difference.
possible coordinated nuclear confrontations with Russia, China and DPRK.
This is not gonna be good.
So confidential that it got straight to the New York Times

Yo I had the same dream last week
I’m not sure why anyone is surprised.
There’s a literal plan on what to do if a zombie outbreak were to occur, so why do one think preparing for something more plausible is off the table?
Feels fitting that the US military would prepare for a zombie outbreak, considering that most of its enemies are in some part fictions it conjures up in order to justify attacking.
