Fear of nuclear war

[Svertopia]

Come on. Just because something is said out of fear doesn't make it invalid. Why?

I want to be assured that the US won't be at WW3 with Russia because of her foreign policy, and Russian rhetoric. Is there any really good reason why it's not true? People want to say "whatever" and all, but I really feel killed about it.

I think Trump is just loud, racist, xenophobic as a lot of other guys, but I was convinced that Hillary was more likely to start WW3. I was depressed over it on and off. I feel ashamed to discuss it with anyone in real life.

The last thing we need is for Trump's election results to be invalidated.

I encourage any questions.

didn't happen in the cold war, won't happen now

Because it would annoy the Russians after they fixed the election to get him elected?

[Benign Retrofuturists]

It won't happen.

[The East Marches]

We will be home by Christmas. Trust me.

[Targovia]

We will be home by Christmas. Trust me.

Yes, Russia will be nice enough to nuke us after Christmas.

[Collectivist Germania]

Well, look, Trump's far from ideal but he's a step in the right direction - No pun intended. People can use these buzzwords all they like but let's not forget that we just played chicken with nuclear war this election. If that doesn't indicate that something is very wrong with our system and those who run it, nothing will.

Sounds like a lack of belief in victory to me

Let's not forget it was Trump who asked multiple times why we couldn't just use nukes.

It didn't happen during the Cold War, it won't happen now.

The nuclear arsenal of the US and Russia is extremely big and refined. If these countries go to war and use their stockpiles, the entire world will be polluted with nuclear fallout and we will all die. Nobody would benefit from this.

Moreover, modern nuclear attacks would be extremely hard to block completely because all countries prefer quantity over power. Which means that they will remain a war deterrent for a long time.

Trump may be a big but he isn't dumb and he isn't the only one governing the US.

I am with you on the concerns, plus I also worry about the rise of racism and even the repeat of the Holocaust or Rwanda in 1994 as a result of the shift in some countries to right-wing populism.

Being a person in poor health, it is also hard (albeit not impossible with the right support and assurance) to avoid being taken in by a mountain of conspiracy theories that predict things like "false flag" attacks, wealth confiscation (with proponents such as MoneyWeek likely more determined as a result of recent events like this and this (both from good ol’ Reuters)) and a raft of secret societies doing things.

[Vektes]

I wouldn't lose sleep over the prospect of a Nuclear exchange.

It didn't happen at a time of far, far more likeliness, and it's extremely unlikely to occur today, at-least in a massed strategic manner as it's often imagined.

The vast majority of talk of the use of atomic weapons in foreign policy can be attributed to hollow-at-heart sabre rattling.

Not surprised.

If Hillary won and we accused her of the same thing you would be having the same reaction as we are to your accusations.

/pol/ is leaking again

Also that shade of green is almost unreadable.

[Imperializt Russia]

Kindly explain to me how Hillary was going to start WWIII.

For all Trump's buddy-buddying with Putin and Russia, he's probably much, much more likely to make a rash decision that would snowball out of control.
The situation more likely to lead to nuclear war.

[Marxistische Republik von Deutschland]

repeat of the Holocaust

Why is the entire right wing always compared to straight up Nazism? You do realise American conservatism is pretty far away from genociding an entire ethnic group, yes?
Do you make the same comparisons to Right-Leaning Liberals?

What i meant was: If Hillary won we would say that it was set up, but you would make fun of us. Just like we make fun of you.

Yeah no, Trump is not "literally Hitler"

[Constantine Lambros]

Countries are selfish and want to prove they are the best through less radioactive means, because how are you better if you're not here?

[Taviana SSR]

I really wish for the DPRK developing even better ICBMs and more powerful warheads in order to become vanguard against US imperialist aggression.

[Imperializt Russia]

There's literally no reason for the Russians to manipulate Hillary into office.
They'd gain nothing from that. It would not be plausible.

"Your side" proclaimed for weeks if not months that it was fixed against Trump, that the system was rigged that there should be protests about the inevitable rigging.
Then Trump wins and now allegations of vote rigging are dumb and laughable.

Err, no, mate.

That's really funny, You oughta get into standup.

Depends on how far China is willing to go over Taiwan. If we legitimize the RoC, there's a high degree of probability the PRC may attempt to take Taiwan by force. There's also a high likelihood China's already moving ballistic missiles towards the eastern and southern coastlines after Trump's statements (which were much needed, China needs to be rattled every now and again). The PRC won't tolerate a legitimized Taiwan, saying before that using military force isn't quite off the table.

A Chinese invasion of Taiwan could thrust the US and NATO (at least bits of it) into a skirmish (or full blown war) in the Pacific. This would mean for the first time in history, two nuclear powers would be in direct conflict. It's uncharted territory for sure at that point, and at this point, is probably the most "realistic" scenario involving the use of nuclear weapons.

Of course, none of thus could happen as well.
