increased risks of nuclear war

you do realize that initiating nuclear war is suicide, right? the u.s. took advantage of the only chance of actually using one because they were the only nuclear power at the time.



Accidents happen, but a nuclear exchange between India and Pakistan seems vastly more likely during a war than outside of one.


> you do realize that initiating nuclear war is suicide, right?

Given there are plenty of suicidal humans, that's not entirely comforting.


you don't need to consider the entire set of humans, only those with the ability/drive to obtain enough power/influence to gain control over a nuclear weapon.


That bar seems to have lowered substantially a few months back.


Yes! It's just a matter of time!
