#PeaceThroughStrength, so says #daGobbler.
Now that Biden has authorized Ukraine's use of long-range U.S. weapons inside Russia, an unconstitutional Act of War, I think it is an appropriate time to revisit the catastrophic dangers of nuclear powered WW3.
Once a single nuke is launched, it's a death sentence for the human race.
Russia has ~ 5,889 nuclear warheads. The U.S. has ~ 5,244.
That's roughly 11,133 apocalyptic devices that could erase the entire planet in an hour, and yet, these psychopaths talk about war as if there's something left to fight for once the bombs start dropping.
There's no defense, no escape. Missile interceptors are a jokeat best, they're only partially effective in limited cases, and we've got nowhere near enough to stop thousands of warheads raining down on every major city on Earth.
You want numbers? Within 72 minutes of a nuclear exchange, 60% of the world's populationbillionswould be vaporized or slowly rot away from radiation.
The lucky ones would die instantly. The rest would suffer in a hellscape where nuclear winter freezes the planet, and the remnants of civilization tear each other apart for scraps of food. The world as we know it would end. And for what? Because politicians want to wave their dicks around, brandishing nuclear arsenals like trophies?
This isn't a hypothetical. This is real. On March 1, 1954, the U.S. detonated a 15-megaton bomb at Bikini Atoll. (Attached Video) Scientists estimated it would be 5 megatons, but it turned out to be three times more powerful1,000 times more destructive than Hiroshima.
A fireball three miles wide engulfed the sky, and the explosion was visible from 135 miles away. (Video is from 50 miles away) That was 70 years ago. If weapons were that deadly then, what do you think they're capable of now?
We don't have 11,133 bombs just for show. Once one goes off, the rest will follow. There's no stopping it. We are doomed the second they decide to play this game of mutually assured destruction.
And yet, the threat of nuclear war with Russia is on the table like it's just another Tuesday. These aren't weapons they are mass extinction, and we're one bad decision away from lighting the fuse. If you think there's any coming back from this, you're living in a fantasy.
I know what some people will say: "It'll never happen. This is just fearmongering. No one in their right mind would start a nuclear war knowing it would destroy everything." Really? You think the powers that be are always rational? That cooler heads will prevail when everything's on the line?
History is full of leaders making reckless, suicidal decisions driven by ego, desperation, or blind national pride. We've already come close multiple times by accident. The Cuban Missile Crisis, the 1983 Soviet false alarm both times we were one step away from nuclear annihilation. One miscalculation, one malfunction, one trigger-happy decision, and it's game over.
You think Putin, the U.S., or anyone else wouldn't do it? You think the system is foolproof? You're dreaming. Mutually assured destruction rests on the idea that someone might just push the button.
Once those nukes are in the air, no amount of diplomacy, no late-night peace talks, no brilliant strategy will stop what's coming. It's not just a few cities being wiped off the map; it's the entire infrastructure of human civilization crumbling in an instant. Trade routes? Gone. Communications? Vaporized. Governments? Collapsed, or reduced to shadows of power as the survivors scavenge for water in radioactive wastelands.
The sheer absurdity of it is hard to comprehend. Governments have spent decades amassing these arsenals, pouring trillions of dollars into making sure we could obliterate each other hundreds of times over, as if once wasn't enough.
But once the bombs start falling, none of it matters. The power plays, the strategic alliances, the politics it all evaporates the second a nuke detonates above a city. One bomb, and hundreds of thousands of lives blink out of existence. Now multiply that by 11,133. You can't even fathom the level of destruction that would unfold.
What's worse? These weapons don't just kill they poison the Earth. The radiation spreads, contaminating the air, the soil, the water, everything. There are no boundaries when it comes to nuclear fallout.
You think you're safe because you live in the countryside or because your government has a fallout shelter plan? Guess again. The long-term effects are even more terrifying. The radioactive material from these bombs lingers in the environment for decades, seeping into ecosystems, destroying food sources, crippling entire generations with cancer and birth defects.
And we're still talking about this like it's a political option. Nuclear war isn't just "an act of war"; it's the end of humanity. We're not just at risk of losing a battle we're at risk of losing the future. All the advancements we've made, every piece of technology, every scientific discovery, every cultural achievement they'll be reduced to radioactive ash.
You want to talk about progress? Imagine where we could be as a species if we weren't dumping our resources into perfecting ways to wipe ourselves out. Imagine the diseases we could have cured, the frontiers we could have explored, the technologies we could have developed. Instead, we're sitting on a powder keg, and everyone's pretending that it's perfectly normal to be one diplomatic spat away from annihilation.
The political elites, the military brass, the so-called "leaders" who drag us into these nightmares they've got bunkers, they've got escape plans. They'll be deep underground while the rest of us fry. And when they crawl out from their holes, they'll find a world they can't live in, a world destroyed by their hubris, their insatiable thirst for power. All the wealth in the world won't save them from the nuclear wasteland they created.
So when you hear about "tensions with Russia," or any mention of a potential nuclear conflict, know this: they're gambling with your life, with your future, with everything humanity has built.
And if you think there's any coming back from it, if you think someone will "step in" at the last second and call it off, you're living in a dream. This isn't a game where we walk away bruised but alive. Once the nukes are launched, it's over. There's no reset button, no miracle intervention.
Wake up. The end is one misguided decision away, and the clock is ticking.
