Do you think nuclear war is inevitable?

Some days, I don’t see how we get away from it.

Well, F ing Bill Clinton made Ukraine surrender it’s nukes as a condition of sovereignty, so it’s gonna be a pretty one-sided exchange. I draw the line against Soviet aggression at the NATO country borders, Ukraine is screwed. Besides F ing Obama/Biden already let the Soviets take Crimea, so this is a BS posture wasting U.S. and  NATO dollars anyway. Putin knows exactly what he is doing, the Biden WH doesn’t know WTF they are doing or even what day it is.

“I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times." It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I

“‘If you want peace – fight until you win,’ he said. ‘If you want a long and strong peace, bury the hatchet on the territory of the enemy along with him.”

Good question.   Reading a book on JFK and what happened.  The Cuban missile crisis got to the point it did for 2 reasons.   We were not talking to them on any level.  And  Kennedy and Krushchev  were under tremendous pressure from their military commanders to attack because each side thought they would win.

Both Kennedy and Khrushchev admitted to each other that they were worried of a military coup and that time was running out in their private letters to one another.   That event scared the crap out of Kennedy and may have cost him his life.

I’d say the probability of the use of nuclear weapons would be directly proportional to these 2 factors.  Especially the military and the likes of Neocons like Lindsey Graham and Victoria Nuland.  Kennedy was thinking clearly but Biden’s capacity to work through a problem of this magnitude is not there.  And now Russia is deploying Sarmat missiles. Not encouraging.

Nuclear war, how?

I can believe that there will be the use of a tactical nuke on some battlefield somewhere within my lifetime.

I do not believe an H-bomb will be dropped.

Either move is a tragedy but the latter is genocide while the former can still be a military act.
