    I think a lot of you overestimate the 'vaporize' region of even the largest nukes. If you don't live within 15ish miles of a target, and if you are able to make it inside and can stay there for a few days, you're going to survive long enough to grow into that flaming guitar player on top of the mechanized truck convoy

    So uh you were saying?

    Well hopefully there is some classified  shit they aren't telling us about our defense capabilities 

    There isn't. Why do people think that we can't get nuked. The entire premise against first strike is it's MAD. If it's not then you just first strike and don't worry about getting nuked. 

    Nuclear weapons have no counter. There is no way to contain their destruction during or after they go off. They are the ultimate weapon of mass destruction and they should never be used ever again. The problem is that as long as they exist they by rule HAVE to exist. If everyone denukes at the same time in joint fashion that would be the best thing for the world, but it's not happening because the cat is already out of the bag and people violate the shit out of treaties constantly.

    So are you saying either he dies or a tactical nuke is dropped? Because that’s the context of my comment. Someone was telling me why there’s no chance Putin would do so because of how upset the Chinese would be. Is that how you feel?

    If Putin gets nukey even china will sanction them so fast their head will spin.

  4. I actually sold it for 300 to a junk car buyer (even though it's not junk) they came with a new battery it started right up we did the title thing and they paid me the cash. From call to pick up it was like 90 minutes. They will probably turn around and sell it after putting another 200 bucks into it for around 2k. Good for them.

    Xi has definitely overseen the murder of his own people and political opposition, don't ever think he isn't capable of that.  That having been said, you are right in my opinion to look at them in an entirely different light that Putin and Russia.  Biggest difference, China economically matters, Russia, not even close.

    I didn't say that he wasn't, but c'mon we fucking let a bunch of assholes kill hundreds of thousands of people with opoids here and turned a blind eye. For every example you give me there we've done something probably equally as shitty. Our democracy is the main difference, because our politicians don't openly kill each other anymore. You better believe they used to do it all the fucking time though and not too long ago mind you. 

    Power and corruption go hand in hand, we just defend the 1st amendment and put people's shit on blast a bit more than the rest.

    I think that is a big question.  We know Putin stole from his military for his own gain, I don't think we have any indication one way or another that Xi has done this.  Russia has long been a paper tiger (or more appropriately a rusted tiger), but China may actually have a viable army, navy, and air force.  It is suspected that Taiwan has a small nuclear deterrent, but the real deterrent may well be global isolation.  Hard to imagine the world's economy right now spinning without China involved.

    I don't think china is as fucked up as people make them out to be. I think they are just different. China isn't off trying to conquer Japan. They are taking back Hong Kong (which is legally theirs) and Taiwan, which was once part of China and still technically is China (just the wrong China). If they were out trying to take the Philippines or some shit that would be different. I don't see china going on some manifest destiny conquer the world mission. They want to bolster their economy and prosper. I'm sure there is corruption there, but when you look at it there are distinct differences between china and Russia, especially the oligarchy driven nature of Russia and the communal property driven nature of China (however unfairly distributed). China eat their own as much as they eat others.

    We have disagreements with China on how disproportionate their deals are and some of their tactics in not respecting international norms, but that's stupid to equate to a literal madman who murders and steals from his own country.

    Who knows. I do know it was set up that way during the cold war. I wouldn't imagine it's changed much but the US especially has dismantled a lot of its arsenal. 

    I think that you would follow the line of succession until someone said no more. I don't think you bomb 100 cities or bases at once. It's not MAD to do that. It's literally suicide and a worse death than you are giving them.

    It doesn't really matter. Nuclear winter and fallout will take care of the rest. 

    Assuming we're talking about a scenario like Russia and the US hitting each other with hundreds of missiles. 

    (I mean - I agree humans wouldn't go extinct - but it would get mad-maxy across the entire world really quickly)

    I'm skeptical of the whole "we are going to launch so many nukes everyone here will die a horrible starvation death in 6 months" policy of launching nukes.

    Just need to be free for my husband and kids and my friends. I love to work, I’m not lazy at all, but need to be able to get away to park city with a days notice if the opportunity arises. Or Chicago. Or Nola for the final four. That was annoying to my non profit last year when I ditched everything and flew to Indy for the natty.

    I mean...that sounds more like a planning issue than a being spontaneous one. 

    Can you not work remotely? If it's just like a day or 2 then that kind of flexibility is easy. If it's a week at a time at the drop of a hat you need to get a reality check.

  10. Vaporized immediately is the way to go if you don't have one of those fallout apartments in the old silos. The whole idea that human life will be exterminated is super stupid though. No one is going to nuke the non nuke countries. The human race will be set back at most a century, but probably not even since all the stuff that has been discovered is well documented. Standing on the shoulders of Giants and whatnot.

    Once the reality of the economic situation in Russia sets in, Putin will be taken out internally. He’s literally destroyed all the progress they’ve made since WWII because he’s got little man syndrome. I don’t think he makes it to the end of the year.

    people keep saying this, but who is going to take him out? All the people closest to him are going to be on the take as well and will be fine. You think the people are going to storm the Kremlin like they did on Jan 6th here to stop the election? News flash, their kremlin folks aren't like the capitol police, they will shoot the fuck out of them immediately.

  12. If the reports of them firing on fire response at a nuclear facility and actively engaging in combat are true this needs to be the straw that breaks the camels back. If Putin is willing to intentionally meltdown a huge nuclear facility we need to sink every fucking sub and start deterrence immediately. China won’t have a problem with it.

  13. It’s my understanding that these nuclear reactors cannot be actually safe walk away “shutdown” until all the fuel is spent or there is a special decommissioning process. Until then they continue to create massive amounts of heat and need to be cooled. If the cooling system fails or there is a breach it will still fully meltdown and go crazy even if it’s “shut down”.

    Basically this is super fucking bad and IMHO should result in an international response in addition to what’s already been done.
