    Why do people talks so easily about US starting war with Russia? They each have thousands of nukes and if it devolves into nuclear war then earth is fucked beyond repair for at least a few centuries. This is not WW2 anymore, a war doesn’t mean dropping with a bunch of soldiers on a beach, it means an apocalyptic destruction of earth.

      That is true but at the same time, a line has to be drawn somewhere. If we just let Russia win because they have nukes, there is nothing to stop them from invading and absorbing other neighbors. We can’t let the threat of nukes keep us from doing anything and allowing for Russia and China to just invade anywhere they want.

        No earth is better ? Got it! Let the great reset begins!

        We haven’t even colonized a single other planet and we depleted earth ressources pretty bad,so if it’s a reset, it will be a complete hard reset that bricks earth save file forever. No more technological evolution for any future inhabitants ! The great filter might actually be the answer to the Fermi paradox after all.

        We can’t let the threat of nukes keep us from doing anything and allowing for Russia and China to just invade anywhere they want.

        This part gave me a nervous laugh. ‘Only us are allowed to invade anywhere we want, and if anyone else does it we’re ready to hard reset earth because we want the exclusivity rights!’

          Cope and seethe. Ukraine deserves to keep its independence and hopefully America continued to support it. Russia isn’t going to use their nukes and every time they threaten it, fewer and fewer people get scared each time. Also American isn’t going to go to war with Russia, they’re just going to keep sending mothballed armour that destroys the Russian stuff.

            Get off your high horses. I know Ukraine is a very sensitive subject for some but I didn’t mention anything about it. We’re fucking talking about not escalating it into nuclear war here. You know Ukraine, and no other country for that matter, would exists after a nuclear holocaust,right ?

            Lastly, I am against colonization and invasion of any kind.

                This post is about Ukraine mate.

                And the comments I was answering to was talking about nato/us/eu starting a war with Russia. You should be less oversensitive.

                Second, there will be no nuclear war escalation so calm down.

                Yep, The rest of the world would greatly appreciate it.

                Cope and seethe.

                I geuss you didn’t read the last part of my comment then.

      I live in Germany, was a teenager in the 80s. We would have been ground zero then, and would be ground zero now.

      I’ve already spent all the fear of nuclear war in the 80s. I am just not able to fear nuclear war now, anymore. The fear just dulls after nearly half a century.

      The choice is to let a madman bring war to one country after another or to stop it - with the cost that stopping has a miniscule chance of me getting vaporized.

      But doing nothing will keep the risk of nuclear war for another 50 years. It has to be stopped now, appeasement never did anything good.

        Bro we are on the brink of nuclear war with Iran and Israel over some bullshit. If one nuclear power wars with another the nukes will drop instantly. Stop trying to kill me, I don’t want to die in a nuclear blast for fucking Ukraine.

        the NATO/EU/US may decide to become directly involved in the war

        After their involvement, I doubt they’d do nothing if some of their soldiers get shredded by a Russian bomb. Let’s imagine Russia is beaten and it’s on the brink of complet defeat. Do you really not expect them to send nuclear warheads everywhere before collapsing as an ultimate fuck you ? 10% of the warheads are enough to turn earth into a post apocalyptic wasteland.
