    Nukes are not gonna go away, all the major powers have them and they aren’t giving them up. Stop with these useless performative actions, and build the nuke while you still can.

      love to have every generation forever living under the nuclear sword of damocles “that’s just the way it is sweaty” and we wonder why everything is so fucked as we have multi generational ptsd over the constant threat of annihilation

        As long as Capitalism is the dominant system, we are gonna have conflicts and Nukes have prevented another World War from happening. The big powers still are beholden to M.A.D. (Mutually Assured Destruction) Pakistan would’ve been invaded long ago if they didn’t possess nukes.

          1. america probably would have been invaded by now if it didn’t have nukes

          2. “[country] would have been invaded if not for nukes” isn’t a good enough argument to support the continued existence of nukes

          like sure it’s cool if the DPRK having nukes puts the u.s. off from invading them but i would rather nobody have nukes if that fantasy were something that could be made possible

          i wouldn’t be surprised if the collective psychological effect of the world existing in this way were comparable to fucking leaded gasoline, being under a constant baseline anxiety of annihilation is not good for the brain

          yeah call me clueless because you think “you can’t just vote nukes away” is somehow an actual justification for the continuation of the status quo being actually good and desirable you are the real genius here, big large brain
