I hate nukes. We can't have another good proper war because of them.

Yes. Nuclear weapons very likely prevented a war between the U.S. And the USSR due to mutually assured destruction. They have preserved peace between the super powers since the end of WW2.

I kind of want to think that the idea of mutually assured destruction is less "the end of the world" in so much as

"While a nuclear war would not result in 'hell on earth' like fallout scenarios, instead of simply localized area's of destruction, the resulting geopolitical fallout and disruption of a relatively peaceful way of life would indeed be quite terrible even without global radiation or nuclear winter."

I've read some of Von Neumanns work, so yes.

Dubs of truth there.

The hippies love to bitch about them, but they'dve likely never been born if we saw NATO/Pact go at it in the 60s.

Butthurt about losing the vote today SNP voter detected.

Anti-nuclear people are people who think nukes are toxic masculinity and 'can't even' with regards to military subjects so much that they won't even bother to learn about deterrence.

They think its about revenge, lol.
