Nukes are useless.
You can't use them in wars.
You can't use them offensively, because you will push everybody else to get nukes and thus make your chance of getting nuked higher.
You can't even threaten other people with it, because of the above.
It's extremely expensive.
since 1945 no nukes have been used. so its better to spend money on artillery which gets used all the time.
thoughts?
Actually very true. Nuclear weapons have prevented a third world war since they were invented, which is truthfully a bad thing. The degeneracy has been allowed to build and the world economy has become too globalized, and world war is the only way to right the ship.
Israel uses nukes to hold Europe hostage
Too bad kikes sold the plans to commies.
And they can be used without retaliation, just need faster icbms and some iron dome type defensive systems
nukes are the only reason russia is not getting its shit pushed in by a coalition army
If there was legitimately an anti-nuke defensive system that was 100% effective this would be a game changer. The problem is that even the best systems available today are nowhere near 100% effective, and if the airspace above a country was saturated with incoming nuclear missiles there's no way all of them would be caught. And so even the chance of one nuke getting through and killing millions is enough of a deterrent that no politician will go to war in the fear that it could precipitate a nuclear exchange.

But it turns out coronaviruses are:
1. Effective
2. Debiliitating
3. Fuck up your enemy for possibly future generations
4. Cheap (USA will pay to infect itself)
5. Generate recurring revenue with Jabs that do more harm than good.
Everyone wins!
>Except the poor fucking taxpayers getting fucked over and having to pay for it all.
>no, deterrence doesn't work
Said the normie brainlet after nearly 80 years of deterrence. Jesus Christ, this board is indeed dead.
A libertarian with a correct take?!?
I've heard of this happening before but this is too much.
Captcha: HD ASS G
migration is the new weopon of genocide
nukes were an enormous grift off of both sides of the (((cold war)))
ethbic replacement is fsr more effective and insidious than faggot ass nukes
Von Neumann was right, we should have nuked the Soviets immediately after ww2
nukes are very good, it creates stalemate situations. too bad fin does not have väinämöinen. you cannot be bullied.
>they still need a fissile trigger
nukes are overhyped
you need a fuckton of nukes to even attempt wiping something as big as London off the map, even if you try half of you infrastructure probably isn't ready, and the rest will be intercepted, Russians would barely graze a single street
japan was allegedly nuked but the sites have even bigger populations now
governments blasted thousands of tests and nobody is getting any more cancer in any part of the globe from atmospheric radioactivity, more people are being killed by cows lmao
and somehow russian and ukrainian troops are posting on instagram from chernobyl, no fucks given
Not to mention intercepting and stopping even one object of pretty significant mass on re-entry from space is not an easy task
Japan nukes were of early designs that did not utilize hydrogen fusion, modern nukes release a few orders of magnitude more energy than fat man and little boy
the nuclear weapons of today are significantly bigger than fat man and little boy, but yes you would still need more than one to completely level a major city, if that's what you're saying. but then you don't really need to level a major city, with even one nuke the spreading fires and fallout will affect an area much larger than the blast zone. plus the psychological impact would be huge - no one would want to stay in a city that just got nuked
You are wrong. Thankfully you can nuke London very easily with the biggest weapon ever detonated, and make doubly sure it's wiped if you use the full 100Mt yield.
thank god
There is a theory that the reason that aliens dont exist is this very issue.
The chances of a civilization progressinig beyond the nuclear age is very slight.
Take our example, we are closer to nuclear conflict now than we ever have been in the past. We ahve an active theatre of war that has the west against Russia
Multiple countries that have nukes
Iran most likely has them as well
This upcoming winter is going to be a shitshow pretty much everywhere
The chances of some fucker going mental and using them gets closer and closer, thats why we dont see proof of intelligent life, they nuke themselves
Thats the thing, space and time. We have only been sentient for 10,000 years and doubt we will be here in another 1000. Even if aliens were a few hundred light years away they likely died off a few billion years ago.
So why everyone chimping out to Iran?
You just sound like perlman.
ok jew
I believe we have been sentient for a lot longer
I also believe the die off 13000 years ago was caused by us doing exactly what it looks like we are going to do now
you can assert dominance
Iran already has nukes
If they didn't they would be getting a good old dose of democracy
As it is everyone is falling over themselves to get their oil back on the market
Nuke tipped artillery, sounds comfy user
>Israel has nukes
Its bullshit, but I believe it
