  1. Curious how with 1940's technology we could level entire cities first with fire bombing then with atomic bombs. Fast forward to the hottest year on record with major fires everywhere. Yet, we are not adopting large military cargo planes to drop water on forest fires when they first start to control them. As you know, military planes are needed fight our potential human adversaries. Ironically, nuclear war would just accelerate the end game in regards to natures little experiment with higher intelligence on our unique little blue planet out in the cosmos.

  4. At least Fallin down the steps can't complete a sentence Joey "Bribes" Biden Does Not have the Nuclear Football. The 19th President of the Republic has the Football and will keep it till the Military can guarantee a secure election of a president it also means the current president can stay the president for as many terms as he can be elected for. The laws have returned to what it was back to right around the time of the death of President Lincoln

  6. As someone who grew up during the cold war many of the comments are terrifying. When I was young no one ever said a nuclear war might be a positive thing, ever. We had respect for the tragedy that would be.We put value in life. All life including human. No one who had any love of this planet and the life on it ever suggested the world would be better off after a nuclear war, no one. What is in the minds of today's youth that they would conclude a nuclear war would reduce the human population therefore the Earth would be better off? If the Earth would fare better with fewer people then maybe it's these homicidal sociopaths who should leave first.

    Prepare Your Souls because any moment of any day….its over for us…
    We deserve it…
    Look at our history and our present…
    Our future is "written in stone"

  8. Senator Kennedy made a great speech the other month about America and its nuclear arsenal.. you should watch it.. it's very sobering. We have no produced nuclear grade plutonium to make nuclear weapons since the 90s I think he said.. idk just go watch it

  9. Like what the fuck are we fighting over ? Are you telling me in 2023 this is where we are at which is the mindset of a caveman ? Actually yes that is the case .Most of the world is clueless and 1/4 of the world actually think there's 3 genders or more in humans which is so stupid you can't even laugh at it so in other words far to many people are no wiser then cavemen and many more are far stupider and how do I know that ? Well you could give them all the weapons and tools a cavemen had and they would still be dead in a week if we had a WW3.We have this illusion feed to us that education = knowledge well it can but to often it don't and the 2 have been getting farther and farther apart since the last WW2

  10. 100% the best example of why we relied on MAD.
    None of these plans and breakdowns involve anything less than a billion dead. This is the equivalent of suicidal shower thoughts.

  12. If we were an intelligent species, we'd dismantle these terrible weapons and destroy all knowledge on how to create them.

    We are not an intelligent species. Nuclear weapons are the worst thing to ever be created. They were a mistake.
