    We had the internet before 2022, and it didn't make anyone go pro-nuclear war.

      I'll never forget a certain "man on the street" interview that was done during the War on Terror, where they found a surprisingly high number of people who said we should just indiscriminately nuke the Middle East. I think American nuclear bloodthirst is as old as American nukes, and the only thing that's prevented us from nuking anyone since 1945 has been realpolitik.

      I literally saw people saying we should nuke Russia in 2016 but that doesn't negate my point. For one, this isn't normal. Even the most normie Ukraine lib thinks a nuclear war with Russia is bad.

      True, but we also weren't in a proxy war with a nuclear power.
