Libs who live in population centers which will undoubtedly be targets in a nuclear exchange: :dead-dove-1: :dead-dove-2: :dead-dove-3: :blob-on-fire:
Me, living far enough to avoid obliteration but not fallout: :smoothskin:
Third world gang :gigachad: jk good chance I'll die in a year if it were to happen.
it's called nuclear winter we'll all go together when we go
Whenever I see libs say that or that they "like our chances" in a nuclear exchange, I think of that line from Dr. Strangelove where General Turgidson is advocating for a preemptive nuclear strike:
Mr. President, I'm not saying we wouldn't get our hair mussed. But I do say no more than ten to twenty million killed, tops.
Of course, Dr. Strangelove is satire and these reddit nerds are serious.
Satire doesn't really process well with most modern audiences. I know Dr. Strangelove fans that completely missed the point and were down with "hair mussing" and underground breeding centers.
Me smugly pointing out Russia's nuclear incompetence as 100s of US cities are engulfed in old and ineffective atomic hellfire.
lmao no way does Russia let the nukes fly over Crimea. The only scenario in which a modern country uses nuclear weapons is if they're losing heaps of home turf to an invading force and literally have nothing left to lose.
Even if Ukraine pushed its way into Crimea, Russia could probably take it back.
Russians have hands down the best air defense system in the entire world.
what makes them the best?
Being opposite the most technically skilled air force in the world.
Even back in Vietnam, Russian SAMs scored an impressive kill count against the USAF.
NATO does not have the capacity to win a conventional land war against Russia.
Then why is Ukraine winning large parts of territory back?
The Russians have hands down the best air defense system in the entire world.
So how come they failed to eliminate the Ukrainian air force and did not achieve air dominance?
Then why is Ukraine winning large parts of territory back?
They're not NATO.

Someone doesn't understand what air defense is or what it does. You can't win an offensive campaign with air defense.
NATO does not have the capacity to win a conventional land war against Russia.Then why is Ukraine winning large parts of territory back?
They’re not NATO.
They're a weaker opponent then NATO, so it should be easier to defeat them...
Then why is Ukraine winning large parts of territory back?
they arent? lmao
the borders for the war have barely changed at all in months
What? This is simply not true. Ukraine took back a large territory in the Kharkiv region and a smaller piece between Kherson and Mykolaiv.
The only scenario in which a modern country uses nuclear weapons is if they’re losing heaps of home turf to an invading force and literally have nothing left to lose.
We'd all hope that, but let's not forget that 100% of historical use of nuclear weapons in anger can be attributed to some mix of "conventional invasion will be too hard" and "that'll show them not to mess with us".
“conventional invasion will be too hard” and “that’ll show them not to mess with us”.
don't forget "if we swing our big dick around we can cheat the Soviets out of agreed upon terms"
the Russians have repeatedly pointed to Ukraine as a red button issue. I do not want to test them
none of us thought they would invade Ukraine either remember
Tfw you live in a major city and are within 100 metres of the cities industrial transport links, communications and power distribution for the city.
:gigachad: I’m getting instantly vaporized no matter how it goes down
Instantly getting vaporized is actually the good ending in a nuclear war. Probably S-Tier I'd say.
Libs in 2016: If Trump is elected he will start WW3.
Libs in 2022: We have to start WW3 to stop Putin.
tbf Hillary wanted a no fly zone in Syria which would have caused WW3 anyway.
It's wild how they managed to make "battlefield air superiority", one of the most involved and difficult to accomplish tasks in modern war, sound like something a toddler would do.
:blob-no-thoughts: "no fly zone! I control this playground now!"
:wojak-nooo: : "noooo ukraine will take moscow without nukes putin would never use a tactical nukerino nooooo"
