I do think there’s a big danger here with politicians in charge who are either too dumb or to reckless to understand that all of this escalation will lead to a full-scale war involving nuclear powers sooner or later and that this war will then escalate until nukes are flying. There is simply no way any of these countries will expend 20 million people to keep soldiers from their capital when they have ICBMs. But for some reason, people still think that nuclear fallout shelters do shit and are prepared to play this poker game.

WW III would have ended the world during the Cold War, but since then our societies have become so dependent on technology that a nuclear exchange will be so much more devastating now. Someone needs to tell these people that all of their money will be gone when all of these computers get nuked and that they won’t have working smartphones to diddle around with either…
