I bet there are sharks that go into less of a blood frenzy than these libs.

Love to pretend that I, the protagonist of life, would survive a nuclear war.

    10% of Russian nukes working in this case means the west getting hit with >600 nukes

      Not just them...I feel like I've seen weird liberal "cope"(?) in recent days, where they broach nuclear war with Russia, but believe the US may survive intact since "Russians don't spend as much on nukes as we do", and they "have shittier weaponry"...I feel like it's a bit too close to "You see, the Slavic brainpan is clearly inferior to the Pan-American one"

      Beyond that, the gusto they seem to be approaching the thought with is concerning, putting aside the weird notion that the insane spending on the MIC is justified.

        They do the same thing with Chinese military and technology as well. Happens with every country they don't see as "western" or "white"

      Being leftist is when

      My uncle works for Northrop Grumman and has done top secret missile contracts include classified defense tests against incoming ICBMs and they have seen to have gone well :3 only concern is that many people don’t realize any nuclear warhead that does make it won’t wipe out a city, but rather an entire couple of states. The yield of modern nuclear bombs means living 20 miles away from a city also means your in the splash zone (or glass zone really).

    missile defense systems are :cope: they were cope in the cold war and they are still cope today.

    Notoriously unreliable and fail all the time. Israel is at the cutting edge of that technology (of course) and even their iron dome bullshit still occasionally fails against scrap metal rockets crafted in a basement by Hamas freedom fighters. Against a mass strike of modern MIRV warheads and hypersonic missiles?? pff forget it

    There is no way to win a nuclear exchange and it is dangerous to believe otherwise.

      Nah fam they're going to get into their f35s and shoot down the warheads on re entry ghost of Kyiv style. They did it in ace combat video game once, totally possible in real life just trust me.

      You're forgetting, the evil Russians are brutalizing the white, blonde and Christian Ukrainians, unlike the famously non-white, non-blonde and non-Christian Russian population. I think they're like some kind of off-white atheists or something.

      Also owning the Russians and imagining them making 'oh no' realization faces while they all die violently, and the survivors dying of radiation much later....you need to picture the quiet 'oh no' faces, would you really betray that opportunity? We need to teach the remaining 10% of the population a lesson.

    Libs and chuds alike saying this sort of shit IRL, like our shit isn't rusted over too, our silo technicians on meth, and our infrastructure trash. It's like they've never been in a fight, ever, if you punch someone they will try to punch you back, or worse, get out a gun for the slight. Seriously, social fascism is a death cult that doesn't understand cause and effect among many other things.

    After the F-35s I am convinced of the reverse. The US empire will end once the defense contractors become so brazen that we find our latest iteration of nukes, missiles, and planes just fail to work and the US gets steamrolled, unable to defend itself.

    Edit: especially the nukes, like if those are firing off, the world is ending anyway and holding you accountable is the least of your issues. Why not use some cheaper radioactive material for extra profits, that doesn't go critical, but will set of Geiger counters when the military inspectors get near the missile.

      There would be nothing more glorious than for the empire to fall because the capitalists who fed it essentially sabotaged their equipment to maximize profits.

      I love, love, how these armchair airborne tacticians plan to enforce a no-fly zone with BVR fighters against an active modern air force where its enemy uses almost indistinguishable aircraft.

      do nukes really expire?

      The warheads do have a shelf life on the order of a few decades from what I've heard, since the radioactive material does gradually break down even when in a stable state and the high explosives used to kickstart the whole thing degrade over time. Like a few years ago there were articles about how most of the US's nuclear arsenal was rapidly reaching the point where the warheads might not go off if fired, paired with imperialist pearl clutching about how they all needed to be replaced and repaired of course, though I don't know if anything ever happened with that.

          Then it turns out only the nations who were bullied into getting nukes to defend themselves are the ones with working bombs. I wonder what they would do. :thinkin-lenin::data-laughing:

    the weirdest current absurdity I've seen this past two weeks is Nuclear Winter Denialism. I thought Climate Change Denialism was some sicko shit, but I've been seeing bluechecks on twitter be like "nuclear winter is merely theoretical" in response to this mess. Like, what? :rust-darkness:

      honestly I don't know why we ever worried about climate change America killing everyone in the cold war 30 years after they won as revenge for communism having been should have been obvious to everyone from the start
