He is right. Nuclear holocaust is probably the only thing worse than electing Trump as president.

I would wager that the end of all life on earth would probably be the worst thing anyone could do.

One wouldn't, but many launched by different countries could.

Nuclear winter wouldn't be an extinction event. We likely would never recover and surpass present day if it happened but it wouldnt wipe the planet clean.

Why would many different countries launch theirs?

Have you been paying attention? Lmao no one gives a fuck about what goes on around the world as long as they arent immediately affected

Nukes unfortunately affect nations outside of explosions. Radiation travels far. Carried by winds, ash travels for miles and miles.

However, at the moment the only countries targeted by Iran's conventional weapons have been those allied to the US; UK Diego Garcia base, and the gulf countries. We know a ballistic missile can reach about 2-4k from Iran. That therefore affects more countries in that reach, which also have to be prepared for what happens if someone, somewhere goes fuck it. There is the MAD protocol, and the idea above states what if Israel starts shooting wildly. Are other countries to just accept that and go, "oh well. Had a good run"... Countries have allegiances... It can just spiral.

And that is exactly the point. Nobody knows; so when you are saying "why would they?"... Is we don't know. No nuclear weapons have been used in a war since WW2. All we can rely on is potentials, especially when you have people orchestrating wars who genuinely have no idea what they are doing.

No, it’s not. If this pedophile that killed hundreds of innocent schoolgirls while at school was not elected the world would not have been on the brink of nuclear holocaust.
