we've never actually seen what conflict between two nuclear powers looks like.
BUT i'd say there's a very good chance nobody actually uses their nukes because of MAD. I'm certain that Russia does not want to get wiped off the face of the earth. I'm certain they know that launching nukes would mean they get wiped off the face of the earth. Therefore, I'm fairly confident that they wouldn't launch nukes unless absolutely necessary.
am i saying that we shouldn't worry abt nuclear war and that it will never happen? No. It's totally a possibility, and totally important to keep in mind.
That being said, the claim that any conflict between nuclear powers must end in nuclear war is an assumption. Pure conjecture. To act like it's a certainty is silly.
You do know there was like 2 times nuclear war almost broke out right? MAD is cool until s*** gets real.
If it wasn't for one Russian submarine captain in the 60's, we'd all be dead by now

Bro MAD is what prevents war between countries that are nuclear.
When there is a war neither side is gonna wait for the other to pull the trigger first.
Do you have any idea how close we got to nuclear war during the Cold War without the war turning hot??

Nadya wonderful person met her in Chicago
this mf lowkey flexin his political and celebrity network and i respect it
Y'all don't seem to realize how f***ed a nuke is. S*** we got now makes Hiroshima look like a firecracker.
It's literally the end of the world
this graphic was always crazy

It's more of a case that it's one of the few situations on earth where nuclear war becomes an option on the table, nuclear war is infinitely more possible when nuclear superpowers are at war than basically any other time
I like to believe that neither side would launch any nukes in reality, but it's not worth the risk at all
Sorry I don't have patience for Americans acting like the sanctions will lead to some magical anti war movement in Russia because they just needed to be pushed by a lack of access to The Batman
Protest risk death for them.

There’s no magic rule that says MAD doesn’t apply during war too lol. Notice how Russia is indeed not nuking Ukraine at this very moment despite being a nuclear power that is at war
this graphic was always crazy
feel bad for folks living in the marshall islands, the amount of nukes dropped there is probably akin to the fireworks on july 4th
i wonder how much soviet nuke testing affected people s*** was like 3x as big damn

What does this prove about war between nuclear powers? Ukraine is not a nuclear power

Tsar Bomba is unable to be logistically used tho and was never a practical weapon. It was used as psychological warfare, a "threat".
I am not Ukraine bashing I am rooting for them. I am saying even pre all this anyone with google knows about moscow police
they poisoned Navalny
they aren't some country where anyone is like "yeah protest are happening often"
idk man this thread acted big surprised when a man who could die any minute says desperate s*** even though we all pretty much recognize that when your life is in imminent danger you aren't being rational and taking the time to proofread your thoughts think through all the possible conclusions etc
Since Finland and Sweden aren’t part of NATO, what would happen if they started the process of joining now? Wouldn’t that create a new NATO threat etc. to Russia? (A new ”military operation”?)
This situation is just really bad…

they offered him a ride out
you can only be so desperate when you choose the "I AM GONNA DIE WITH THE SWORD" attitude

same people also said "shut up there'll be no nukes" a couple days ago when Putin was literally talkin about his nukes
but then when zelensky like "nato!!!" suddenly it's
OH NO NUCLEAR WAR!!

Sweden and Finland will no doubt be attempting to join NATO now

I have said the whole time if Putin feels he has nothing to lose. Ukraine isnt in Nato. Nato army is bigger than Russias.
you do the math
