Congratulations China-you managed to convince South Korea and Japan to work together. The Soviets backing North Korea when North Korea was actually a concern outside of nukes couldn't do that, but you did. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |

I guess he’s saying MAD is less effective
But MAD has never been every single human dies
And I can’t imagine a nuked earth is one to suitably support a colony- even if relatively established. Thatd be incredibly short sighted. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
Pffft, jet streams have been doing that for decades.
Let’s get more creative and create a device that people can carry around in their hands and be subjected to a constant barrage of advertising, propaganda, misinformation, and diversive and distractive “news” stories.

Biden and the Deep State are aggressively pushing the world towards a nuclear apocalypse | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
Sure. To be clear, I think the whole issue is fundamentally stupid. Russia doesn't want further reductions because their conventional military is shit and the only real leverage they have to keep NATO from increasing support for Ukraine is the threat of escalating to nuclear. China wants more nukes because they want there to be absolutely no doubt they can completely ruin the US if a potential conflict ever goes nuclear (the number of nukes you need for that is more than most people think... but also less than the 5k the US currently has). If the US increases from, say, 5k to 10k or whatever, it fundamentally makes little difference because it's still massive overkill. So when the US offers to maintain its current arsenal while requiring China to limit their planned growth, well, it's not hard to see why they wouldn't take that. When you offer a deal, you need an incentive where the other side is better off if they take it and that incentive just does not exist here. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
right, as it stands no country has any incentive to back down so things will continue escalating which is pretty expected until there is a breaking point | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
Let's paint a clear picture for you. China needs to fuck off or get fucked. This world will enter a new ice age if they don't. Does that make any sense to you?
The U. S. will never shoot a nuke first, plain and simple. So China needs to understand they don't have a dog in this stupid fight. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
In that world USA would have already invaded Russia.
5000 nukes each and MAD is probably the one thing stopping anyone using nukes. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
So the US needs 5000 nukes to defense? This amount can destroy not only China and Russia, but also the entire world. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
Don't feed a troll, k? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
True, though that was really a side comment. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
Can get the same result using a SLBM. It just needs to re enter the atmosphere.

We already have enough for an apocalypse. What’s the point? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
Doesn't make any sense, even if Earth was nuked to oblivion, it would still be better to live on than any other feasible planet. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
Except it did end. Read a history book sometime and find out how wildly different it was compared to current events, instead of spouting shower thoughts on Reddit. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
We should be safe for a few hundred years then, at minimum.
Even a functional colony on Luna or Mars (or in the belt or a Jovian moon, although I don't see how that could happen before Luna/Mars) would probably still require soil and biologics from earth for quite some time, unless we find a way to grow things in non-terrestrial soil.
I mean, or we nuke ourselves anyway despite that. That's also an option. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
its true I believe, the biggest fission bombs struggled to near a single megaton in explosion yield and were extremely massive compared to hydrogen bomb tech from the late 50s and 60s. So less nuclear material and a bunch of low weight 'fusion' isotopes blow a bigger bubble dissipating the radioactivity through a larger volume. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
While not (presumably) cancer causing (unless it blows up), russia is in fact building and testing nuclear powered drone torpedoes ([Status-6](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Status-6_Oceanic_Multipurpose_System))which can carry a nuclear warhead, which travel much deeper and faster than conventional submarines. While theyve been exaggerating its effects, its actually not as stupid an idea as many claim, since its basically a near uncounterable 2nd strike weapon (especially if it can be deployed on the seabed like russia claims) | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |

He's wrong.
Nuclear weapons today are extremely dirty. A large fraction of yield comes from fission in the secondary stage tamper. Fallout comes from fission products and that's proportional to fission yield. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
Fallout is more concentrated as a ground burst and there is a bit of neutron activation but mostly fallout is the remnant of the fission fuel and that's proportional to fission yield which is major.
It's really really bad. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |

One objection, if you have been following the news, Russia is NOT trying to make west spend money on Ukraine. They DO threaten the west with nuclear war for it.
Another objection: China is not trying to make USA spend money on space, they want to be the ones that are supreme in space/moon… | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |

Taiwan still considers themselves Chinese its a bit messy but they have significant support there. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
50% support for unification and more for stronger ties. There ruli party is pro unification and has grown. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
Completely different situations tbh. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
lol, that stat come from the CCP? Source it please. Last I saw in 2023 it was about 11%. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
Absolutely not lol there are two political parties in Taiwan with about 50% support each. One is full independence and one is in favor of closer ties and or rejoining. It is entirely possible they will willingly join in the future as the KMT are in power and have been gaining votes. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
>5000 nukes each and MAD is probably the one thing stopping anyone using nukes.
Even more than that, there's a pretty convincing argument that the only reason we haven't had a 3rd world war yet is because of MAD. When all the major world powers have the ability to literally end the world, none of them want to get into a direct confrontation with each other, they just poke and prod each other through their friends and allies.
Doesn't mean nuclear arms reduction isn't a goal we should be striving for, but in a paradoxical way, the spectre of nuclear war is at least partially responsible for the absence of interconnected world wide conflict since 1945. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
I hate where this is going. So we're either in the Star Trek, Matrix, or Fallout timelines. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |

I mean sure, lets get all 3 to come to the table and work out a number that is comfortable for everyone? What's the point of harping on the Chinese nuke count when the Chinese is uncomfortable with US having 10x their nuke count? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |

Agreed. This moment is so powerful *because of* the moment we currently live in / suffer through where autocracy is on the rise globally, including in what was (generally) regarded as one of the world’s strongest symbols of democracy. Roughly 1/3 of the US either actively wants or is passively indifferent toward the country no longer functioning as a democratic state.

If you feel that Russia that's been nurtured under fascist demagogue for past 25 years or so is clean then I dunno what to tell ya. I've had my experience with Russians over my life once they feel safe from repercussions they spew all kinds of vile things about everyone. All the time. All of their comedy is based on racial stereotypes and is cringe to listen to as well. It's always putting down people from Caucasus, middle Asia or far east in most demeaning ways.

Except Ukraine is not fighting an offensive war on the other side of the globe in a massive mountainous desert like the US did with Afghanistan. If anything the statement only makes things less clear to people who aren't familiar. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
Europe leads in a whole bunch of categories. All the jets Ukraine is getting are from European countries. Most of the western tanks, and hundreds of Soviet type tanks and IFVs. US sent a lot of towed howitzers early in the war but the vast majority of self propelled howitzers are from European countries, including new production specifically for Ukraine.
With western IFVs there's a lot of US bradleys, but Germany also sent marder while Sweden has sent a lot of CV90. Both Germany and the US are producing medium range air defence systems for Ukraine - IRIS T and NASAMS, which were originally announced at the same time.
The issue is the US is the supply and maintenance guy. They're the sole manufacturer for the missiles HIMARS fires, which is widely used throughout NATO. Same for air defence systems like NASAMS and patriot. And then with artillery they help make up the shell numbers. This is why the aid disruption was such a big issue - European supplied systems were left without enough ammunition.
US patriot missiles are also some of the few that can shoot down ballistic missiles - all those European supplied jets would be extremely vulnerable when they arrive without protection from those.
This is very much a team effort despite the propaganda about "freeloading". | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
