hardest quote of the war just dropped

The attitude toward nuclear weapons displayed by countries that haven't ever nuked anyone are always fun to watch.

True. But also as an American we damn near nuked Korea and Vietnam, so I’m not going to act like we’re better
- "Damn near" is a euphemism for "didn't."
The attitude toward wars displayed by countries that have never in living memory fought one on their own soil is frankly terrifying in its stupidity, though.
- The last military power that was stupid enough to put on uniforms and march infantry onto American soil was the Confederate States of America. How'd it go for them?
  
  America's attitude toward war is "If we're going to fight, it's gonna happen in your face, not mine."

A total thermonuclear exchange can't even kill humanity itself anymore, and honestly might save it.

Let's do this thing.

Who do i contact to reenable the downvote button
- Wait, you really can’t downvote?
- Wow, so you want humanity itself to die, choking on its own hubris instead of being purged in the Holy Fire of Atom?
- I just checked and I can still downvote you. So...
We're going to fight global warming with a nuclear winter!
Lemme just double check my home on that site with nuclear blast radius projections, I think I'm okay...
- Honestly I don’t give a fuck if I get nuked, but only so long as it lands directly on me. At that point it is definitively not my problem anymore lmao
So what color lead paint chips are your favorite?
- Color doesn't change the flavor, dummy.
- White, duh. Has the most lead in it so it tastes the sweetest

i kinda fuck with nuclear proliferation.

no offense but i don't think I've ever heard this opinion before, may i ask why
- I'm so fucking done with the west leading Ukraine on and giving them a bone when the front is at a breaking point. It's clear that if Ukraine wants to win this war, it won't be on the west's terms. They are in a position where they can only rely on themselves.
  
  This nonsense of a drop of aid after irreplaceable casualties/losses isn't sustainable.
- IMO as long as states like Iran aren't getting access to nuclear bombs, it's all kinda fair game at the end of the day. It puts everyone on the same level playing field.
  
  It'd be like going to war against a nation with guns, using swords. You're not going to win, simple as that.
  
  The problem naturally, is that unstable nation states are a unique threat to the global population. As long as they don't have access to nuclear bombs, generally, things should only get more geopolitically stable because the cost of humanity suffering would otherwise outweigh every possible benefit (primarily economic collapse and hardship)
  
  quick edit: most people would argue against this because nukes are big and scary. Most things are, i'm an objective realist and a political nihilist so things like "nukes are big and scary" isn't really a significant consideration for me at the end of the day. And besides, the government could just black van me if they really wanted to. It's not like i'm a significant target.
  
  also, there are arguments to be made surrounding this for fission based nuclear energy, which is kind of nice.

I have never seen a nuclear explosion in person and I hope I never do. I kind of think they SHOULD be treated with reverence.

On the one hand, a lot of people would die really horrible deaths. On the other hand, it would be really funny watching a Fox News host try and deal with a nuclear war on his first day in charge of the DOD

Imagine how Kennedy Jr. would advise us on treating radiation sickness

Wasn't Chernobyl in Ukraine? Are they just okay with having a huge area just be uninhabitable for a few generations?

They're facing genocide. They have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Bring together the Old Faith and the New.
