@60sRefugee @nyrath @simplenomad

I find it rather disturbing that any time one mentions that a globally apocalyptic nuclear arms race is perhaps a bad thing, someone always feels the need to jump in and defend it.

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] I don't think I can defend the arms race itself. I can, though, point out that developing an alternative means not just one that's resistant to Putin or Kim Jong Un, but one that's resistant to Kim Yo Jong (who worries me much more than her brother does).

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] The arms race was scary but as it turned out wasn't apocalyptic. The WW2 vets who ran the world until about 1990 weren't stupid or insane; they did everything they could to avoid nuclear war OTHER than unilateral surrender. And no, mutual disarmament was never realistic given the irreconcilable differences between the two sides.
