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)

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.
It's a really dumb shitpost and we should honestly start deleting it.
we better fucking not. i have shit to live for still
who cares? if we do we'll still have to go to work.
"nothing ever happens"
"but chudda, what if-"
"it won't.”
You're asking this in the site that was sure Russia wouldn't actually invade Ukraine
No one but the Russian government called that one to be fair
You are missing the point. We are all Russian bots and Russia not invading Ukraine was a psyop to create confusion in NAFO headquarters. Also our next operation is called 'nothing every happen'
I got an online buddy in Russia and they were just as surprised as us tbf.

Nothing Anywhere Ever At All
To be fair, Russia didn't invade Ukraine per se.
Nothing ever happens
-me, feb 2022, days prior to obliterating my predictive credibility with my partner
Ukraine? I was in discord talking to a Russian friend when it popped off and both of us were certain it wasn't gonna happen lol
Tbh days was being generous to me, the day of I was so secure that they were lies about Russian buildup and they were just exercises and that it wasn’t going to be anything. And then I was wrong 😢
I'm gonna say not a chance, but then again I also was adamant that Putin would never invade Ukraine, sooo...
Rule #1 of nuclear war is don't live in or near a major city, so I'm screwed.
On the contrary, rule #1 of nuclear war is live directly next to a major target so you get the instantaneous atomization death over the cancer-and-famine option.
Yes, and try and live close to the center of where you think the nuke would be targeted. If it comes, you’ll be vaporized instantly with no awareness. Depending on the size of the nuke, if you’re outside of that radius, you get shockwave, firestorm and fallout depending on distance, and while you will almost certainly die, it may not be quick and painless.
Idk it would be pretty neat to see the blastwave.
Imagine the Tik Toks.
if it comes, you’ll be vaporized instantly with no awareness.
but what if you're opening the fridge for a late midnight muckbang video with a last minute sponser and then suddenly the initial shockware knocks you into the fridge and when you get out all your manikins are on fire?
1.) If you see the flash move away from the windows. They're gonna explode like grenades in a second or two. Get down behind something. Once the blast wave passes stay in cover because it's gonna come back from the other direction as the blast wave collapses in to the vacuum created by the explosion
2.) TURN OFF THE GAS. Much of the devastation in Japan was caused by out of control gas fires.
3.) Fill the tub and any containers with water ASAP.
4.) Seal up the house as much as you can. It'll keep some of the fallout outside until it settles.
5.) Cover your nose and mouth. An N95 is ideal but anything, even a rag soaked in water, is better than nothing.
6.) If you're instructed to evacuate move away from the debris plume at a right angle. If the wind is blowing all the fallout south you want to go east or west to get out from under the fallout as soon as possible.
7.) If you survive the initial blast and don't die of radiation poisoning your biggest radiation risk is going to be ingesting irradiated material. Filter all water. Avoid water from the fallout zone. Use bottled or stored water as much as possible.
8.) If you've got them take iodine tablets. This will flood your system with iodine causing your body to pass excess iodine out. This may prevent radioactive iodine from accumulating in your thyroid.

Rule #1 is actually don't live near nuclear silos.
If there is a war, whoever the US will be exchanging with will target capacity for more strikes. So, they will target those sites. I hear many of them are in the midwest and throughout that expanse. So, you shouldn't live in those rural areas either if you're close to one.
Although cities will also be targeted, especially if there are secret nuclear silos that the other country knows about. I have no doubt in my mind they use cities as human shields for nukes.
Dont forget places where airplanes, submarines, and other nuclear-capable vehicles are stored.
I live near a nuclear submarine repair shipyard, a naval air base, a joint army/air force base, and a major airport. I'm gonna be an ash shadow on a wall
Rule #1...
It's far more complicated than that. The nuclear sponge is Colorado, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, and Wyoming.
Welcome to America's "Nuclear Sponge" - Defense One
The United States currently deploys hundreds of nuclear missiles across Colorado, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, and Wyoming. Each missile carries a nuclear payload many times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb, capable of killing hundreds of thousands of people. The Pentagon is now planning to build a new, deadlier generation of these missiles, which are housed in underground silos.
But these intercontinental ballistic missiles, or ICBMs, are not meant to be launched, ever. Not even in a nuclear war. Their primary mission is to be destroyed in the ground, along with all the people that live anywhere near them. Their main purpose is to “absorb” a nuclear attack from Russia, acting as a giant “nuclear sponge.” Such is the twisted logic of atomic warfare.

nuke war no. H1N1 pandemic yes
We have a flu pandemic every year, we just slap the label of "seasonal flu" on top and forget the half a million people that die 
At the gay bar
Listened to the song for the first time in forever. Thank you
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
It's more possible now than a month ago for sure, but I'd still say fairly unlikely. That's a real big move that it seems like Russia doesn't need to take. They could achieve the retaliation they would need with just like a whole bunch of conventional weapons. That being said I don't know shit, I didn't think the war itself was gonna happen. Using a nuke is real extra, if they send one they'd better send em all cause the consequences of using one nuke militarily isn't a situation they could come out of without using enough nukes there could be no retaliation and I don't know if Ukraine is worth that.
All I'm saying is we better hope those aliens in the ocean are real, lmao
don't worry OP you can just adopt a survivalist lifestyle. just build a bunker lmao it's not hard. if you're in the states you're double ok because there's a billion guns so everyone can have a decent kit and operate to their hearts content. just remember to bulk order canned food and an israeli civilian gas mask. it will be just like fallout!! or maybe even stalker. how epic would that be?
Putin just told me that if you go ahead and create and finish your bucket list, he won’t start a nuclear war. That’s his promise to you.
i look forward to the prospect of becoming a War Boy and dying in a really interesting/stupid way to make the spectacle line go up
