Inevitability of nuclear war

Classical Liberal
No, not over Ukraine.
Just someday, eventually.
Assuming that N. Korea, Iran, another rogue state or faceless terrorists acquire nuclear weapons.
Or a head of state like Putin goes totally mad and literally has a scorched earth meltdown.
E.g., imagine Hitler with nuclear weapons on the brink of losing his war unleashes all he has before committing suicide.

Doubt it will happen in my lifetime but I believe odds are that it happen someday.
 
I don't lnow what the original post says, but I can say this.
I've now seen the Red Sox win the World Series four times.
A nuclear holocaust doesn't concern me as much as it may have before 2004.

Do you ever wonder why it is that no one has ever bought a nuclear weapon after all these years ?

And its not like they have not tried, not like money has not changed hands...

Whoever first shot off these weapons will destroy civilization eventually!

Or if we someday elect another Trump....

Trump’s a bit crazy but not crazy enough to initiate a nuclear war. Fortunately McCain is dead.

You don't know that.

And don't forget that mental illness can be progressive, so even if Trump isn't crazy enough to start throwing nukes now, who knws what he'd be like in 10 years?

But more to the point, what I was talking about was ANOTHER (different) "Trump".

Someone LIKE Trump.

Shoot yourself now and avoid the pain of dying from radiation poisoning. It's not pretty; running at both ends for days and dying of dehydration? Not for me.

Wikipedia is good enough for me. They even have valid references:

Death and funeral

On August 24, 2018, McCain's family announced that he would no longer receive treatment for his cancer.[382] He died the following day at 4:28 p.m. MST (23:28 UTC), with his wife and family beside him, at his home in Cornville, Arizona.[383][384]

So did you actually hink I was alking about McCain?

I was talking about the Orange Asshole and/or the possibility of someone as bad or even worse possibly being elected by the same kind of right-wing trash who put Trump in office in 2016, then starting Armeggeddon.

I said or implied nothing about McCain.
