There’s no allegedly about it. America and Russian individually have more nukes than the rest of the world combined.
Yanks are the ones pushing it since the starts but ooooh noooo let’s make the ruski’s the global bad guys again
Isnt Russia attacking an innocent country right now?

A lot. What’s your point?
The crown Prince of Saudi should get a nuke up his ass.
Jokes on you, he likes it
MBS = Mr Bomb Squeezer
He’s too busy blowing cocaine up it to fit the nuke, meanwhile his people would be mutilated or killed for doing drugs or drinking alcohol which the entire royal family is also doing.
Nuclear winter fell way back in the pack, but it’s catching up to Climate Change, AI, and biological weapons as humanity’s self inflicted doom.
Damn, I was rooting for Skynet.
I’d deploy skynet tomorrow if I could. At least there’s a chance we win and there’s few enough people afterwards. Plus it’d be some epic history. Way better than “so they were selfish dumb assholes and made their own planet uninhabitable?” If some other sentient race comes along.
i mean, if we suffer a nuclear winter… it would probably solve the AI problem… the (current) climate change problem, and, uh, a lot of the other problems as we no longer care about shit like having TP on the shelves or what color the new car is gonna be.
Maybe a few sprinkles of Matrix?
I almost wish for a nuclear winter. On account of patrolling the Mojave so much…
I wouldn’t be against the Saudi royal family getting a nuke, if you know what I mean
“Dear KSA, as a gift we are sending a nuke…”
“Oh that’s nice, how very kind!”
“It will arrive in approximately 10 minutes by air…”
“Wow by airmail too!”
“…At mach 4”
“wait…”
It’s just assured destruction now Woooo
Neither of them should get one.
Nukes are like icecream then.
A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?
Makes sense if you think about it. Most sensible countries ultimately want to return to the 2015 deals and progress from there.
Is this crown prince bone saw?
How about neither of you religo-fascists get one, and if you try, you get glassed?
Why are American religo-fascists allowed so many? They only want 1 you big meanie! /s but only a little
Nothing on our planet has the enthalpy and matter control required to glass the crust into silicate dioxide crystals. I would know I have the idea.

It’s hard to believe that 1950s Sci Fi is still fucking relevant to today’s world. if y’all haven’t ever, go watch The Day the Earth Stood Still (not the remake, the OG black and white from 1952. The remake deserves the George Lucas Holiday Special Treatment.) The movie is a cult classic and is still relevant to today’s world as a criticism of nuclear weapons (if not nuclear energy,) and Mutually Assured Destruction.
And for some 70s sci-fi: Colossus: The Forbin Project.
Speculation on nukes and AI but not in the Skynet way.
Replying again…. Thanks for the movie tip. That was a spectacular one.
Note to self: when connecting super powerful thinking computer to nukes… make sure to include some kind of failsafe. A purely physical one that cannot be undone…
Vaguely reminds me of war games in some aspects.
Glad to hear you liked it. The movie went in a direction I didn’t expect and was very, very interesting.
The movie “Eagle Eye” took a lot of plot points from this one.
Aaaand speaking of failsafe, not sci-fi but if you want some gripping military nuclear drama, Fail Safe (1964) is one of my favorites. It’s not a horror movie in any traditional way but it sure terrified me more than any horror movie ever did (it actually gave me a nightmare).
I feel like Colossus could do with a sequel or two. I hate to mention it because I’m still quite pissed at the marvel-ization of sci fi. (“OH, it’s got space ships.”…) but, they could definitely round it out with a sequel coming up maybe ten years later or so?
explore the need for freedom and for order. some what more recent, dealing more with VR and such is the 13th Floor.
oh. and the movie that gave me random nightmares as a kid? E.T. yup. But I was like… seven or eight when I first saw it? Still gives me the heebiejeebies, though… which is strange because I first binge watched Star Trek TOS when I was the same age. (the coolest uncle ever had the FULL star trek collection of VHS. I may have found it and got to Trouble with Tribbles before anyone noticed- and then it was my Uncle, who was like “oh. this is my favorite episode! rewind it while I go make popcorn.” they … didn’t see either of us for the rest of the weekend.)
I will have to give that a watch! Edit: found it streamable at archive.org
Pakistan to who got them and then proceeded to shoot themselves in the foot:
Where is Venom Snake when you need him?
The crown Prince of Saudi should get a nuke up his ass.
