      The existence of nukes didn’t stop the government from participating in proxy wars during the Cold War period, and they certainly didn’t stop them from directly invading other countries in the early 2000s.

      If I had to hazard a guess, nuclear annihilation isn’t the greatest concern.

        Corporations these days only look at short term gains. Doesnt matter if the world is thrown into a nuclear winter as long someone made a lot of money in a single quarter. Thats why they panic at a measly 2% drop despite revenue went up. All lines must always go up.

      If they had the balls to start hurling nukes when they were threatened (and they damn well are threatened) the world would be over long ago

      Which is to say, suggesting that they are ever going to be able to punish something as big as the US is fear mongering that only benefits russia

        one hot nuke launch at the us or it’s territories, allies, or nato partners, and the entire world goes up. just one. doesn’t even have to be that punishing. just one single solitary launch. one tiny nuke baby. uno. une. sule.
