The Kremlin and the DPRK join forces… thoughts?
This is deterrence, it just so happens that the United States of Amerikkka doesn’t like it when you limit their options from mass genocide, to “infantry invasion”.
Does deterrence work? It does until it doesn’t. The only country that has ever used nuclear weapons against another country is America, so we’ll never know until it happens again. And when it happens again, there won’t be a society to sort through the evidence and ascertain blame.
This is a good time to remember that Americas nuclear war strategy is to be the largest standing civilization after the ~2 hours of nuclear holocaust. Unironically.
which is fundamentally impossible, so they are lying to themselves.
It’s not that it’s a lie, it’s just that that’s basically the only plan you can really come up with other than nuclear disarmament. We have to remember that this is a military plan and militaries all over the globe do not function like computers, they function like Rube Goldberg machines.
The military does what it knows how to do, make plans that kill people. The type of people and experts that should be farthest away from ever interacting with weapons of this caliber.
The radiation alone, plus the toxic byproducts of otherwise inert plastic, and other chemical agents polluting the soil and water, let alone inhaling and consuming things into our bloodstream would just destroy our ability to maintain a population, let alone a civilization proper.
I’m familiar with the SIOP plan. I just got done reading Annie Jacoson’s Nuclear War: A Scenario. And she is very thorough in listing all of the catastrophic byproducts. The military also knows the consequences of even a single bomb.
Most modern nuclear weapons are not very radioactive. Hydrogen bombs do release a bit of radiation when they first explode, but it dissipates really quick.
The problem is that nuclear bomb targets include nuclear reactors in their lists. Also the toxic chemicals that would burn up and then fall into the top soil and fresh water sources.
Ah yeah for sure. The world would definitely become toxic, and with all the nuclear power plants and reactors going without maintenance or getting directly damaged, there would be a shit ton of radiation in many places.
I occasionally feel relieved to remember that there is almost no chance most of our nukes still work.
The world has some serious doomer vibes. I really think the ruling class knows the world is fucked and instead of doing something to fix it, they are like nothing matters anymore, let’s go out with a bang approach.
This is the vibe yeah. Matt Christman put it best in an old vlog - the ruling class wants to commit a global suicide bombing.
Where can I find all of the cushvlogs are they in YouTube?
Here’s the RSS feed I use: https://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:876912481/sounds.rss

Hey, this is incredibly rude. I am speaking to the ruling class in America and their objectively bad policy of belligerence in an attempt to bring down the world with them, and how the world is being looted by capitalist. I am not criticizing Russia and DPRK.
Learn some manners.
Based. The DPRK deserves to have friends that actually help them.
That’s cool and I’m glad, but damn that article has so much anti-DPRK propaganda.
Just unnecessary jabs.
And libs will tell you with a straight face that our media is impartial and unbiased.
Love the scare quotes around aggression
Uncritical support to the DPRK in its heroic struggle against imperialism and the US
