Escalating into nuclear conflict is a total loss scenario. The first one pressing a button would trigger a chain reaction that would render the planet an irradiated rock. Nobody gains anything.
Nuclear armament is the last hidding place for fragile egos and we would be very fortunate if after this insanity streak there was a complete nuclear global disarmament.
Nuclear armament has given world unrivalled period of peace.
" chain reaction that would render the planet an irradiated rock. "
Nuclear winter is a lie. Nuclear weapons are not that radioactive. We do not have that many of them. Do not worry, your beloved mankind will survive to do another 100,000 years of genocide, rape, torture, murder, destruction, oppression and all the other things our sacred texts say are fun and good.
Nuclear weapons are not meant for a nuclear conflict really, they’re used as a deterrent, and it works. Look how the world is scared shitless of helping Ukraine directly despite Russian army not being too strong - but Russia has nukes.
Edit: Also see noone wanting a conflict with North Korea.
Let us wait and see for how much longer that remains. Russia is resorting to mercenaries (don’t really know what else to call the north korean in the scenario). At some point, either Ukraine pushes back with enough force to end the conflict or other countries will start sending troops there, even if for nothing else besides urban security to relive more national troops to the front lines.
Also. Somehow, I have this feeling Europe is on the way to dust off the guns, after nearly - what? - 70 years. Hopefully, I’m wrong. I sincerely want to be.
I actually really hope Europe, or at least some parts of it, will have the balls to protect themselves when the shit hits the fan. The idea of capitulation in the name of peace is becoming uncomfortably popular.
Looks like Denmark needs nukes.
Let’s take that hot air argument off the table.

When one country has nukes, every country needs nukes.

Considering trump, are we absolutely sure he doesn’t suddenly decide to throw a nuke at somebody who opposes him ?
Putin is an ass, but I’m also fairly certain he won’t drop nukes on anybody unless somebody is about to invade the Kremlin. Trump however…

Yeah, I’m expecting the US to start sending troops at some point - but not to help Ukraine.
