Cuz I wanna know if I need to create and finish a bucket list if that’s the case lmao.

Everyone who is freaking out about Trump getting access to nukes seem to have forgotten that the person who has most inflamed tensions was his successor. Trump posted angry tweets about Kim Jong Un and then met him and hashed it out (Trump is a big racist moron, he “hashed it out” because he suddenly wasn’t around John Bolton but was instead around some other guy, but nevertheless the result is that nothing happened). Joe Biden expanded NATO and repeatedly stopped peace negotiations, while at least tacitly approving sabotage of the nord stream 2 pipeline.
If we’re gonna have a nuclear war then it’ll either be when Trump shits himself to death in the oval office and the psychos under him take over, or it’ll be when some sick dem ghoul figures it’ll make the GDP rise by 0.2% more than if we don’t murder everyone (the calculations are wrong btw)

not that this isn’t accurate but I think the nuclear war Q is in reference to Russia’s nuclear doctrine being updated recently, rather than Trump (at least with the timing of it).

IMO the next nuclear strike is probably gonna come from Israel towards Iran or Lebanon first. Iran might retaliate if it’s as close to a nuclear weapon as they claim (they say 48hrs to a bomb at any one time, but they’re forbidden from making one because of the Fatwa issued by Khameini).

Even with Russia’s nuclear posturing, I think West Asia is closer to a flash point only because Israel is way closer to an existential military-political crisis than Russia OR Ukraine.

This is probably a weird thread to drop this but it’s relevant as any.

“nothing ever happens” is a silly argument. Things absolutely happen, all of the time. Is the cutting off of water and food from Gaza nothing? Are people forcibly drafted into fighting in the Ukraine proxy war nothing? Are the disabled friends and family dying from the deeply misanthropic Covid policies in the west nothing?

Things happen a LOT. They just haven’t happened to you (“you” in this case being whatever person genuinely thinks nothing ever happens) yet so you think they can’t happen to you. They will and it will probably suck ass.

In order for there to be nuclear war, something would have to happen. However, since nothing ever happens, I do not believe there will be nuclear war.

ah but it would be followed by nothing happening. the end of the end of history followed very quickly by the actual end of history
