From 2019..."SGS developed a new simulation for a plausible escalating war between the United States and Russia using realistic nuclear force postures, targets and fatality estimates."

"We must do our part" and all that, pretty sure the big one already started :)

Droppy rocket comedies.
-- lol...when in university I did a research project on the first incident they mentioned. We drove out to the tiny rural town where it happened and interviewedyuekit
- the farmer whose land part of the nuclear bomb is still buried in. The US military was unable to recover it so they just left it there.yuekit
- I remember watching a documentary about it, so bizarre how badly looked after some of the nuclear sites are.
That's cool you went there!PhanLo - Innovation Never Sleeps!utopian

Here's something the media seems to avoid talking about too much...what are the current nuclear arsenals of USA and Russia?
First the number of confirmed nuclear weapons in the world
The most powerful nuclear bombs ever tested, compared with those dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki
This shows the nuclear weapons that can currently be deployed by either side. Russia's RS-28, nicknamed "Satan II" is equivalent to "Tsar Bomb" above.
Then finally, an article making the case that none of this matters because we will all die anyway.
- Huh, I wasn't aware 'til I checked just how Fucking Big that Satan II actually is.
Arsehole relics. Fuck Russia.Nairn - Would love to know how well these weapons have been maintained and are operation judging by the res tof their military. Same applies to US I guess also.fadein11
- *operationalfadein11
- Do cold war nukes have a sell by date? :)fadein11
- not that it really matters of coursefadein11
- Yeah this is a very real question...is it really the case that Russia can launch Satan II but they can't organize a military supply convoy?yuekit
- Of course. They have world class rocketry skills and Satan II is basically just a big rocket. Nuke tech is surprisingly dumb too, for the most part.Nairn
- Anyway how stupid are humans? That article mentions that in 1987, peak year of nuclear proliferation, USA + USSR together had over 61,000 nuclear weapons.yuekit
- ..I mean, once you've had 60+ years practice, it's 'surprisingly dumb' :)Nairn
- Russia's focused most of the 'little' money it does spend on armaments on maintaining and apparently developing its nukes. That's basically their only ace.Nairn
- On the plus side, it appears that fears of a nuclear winter might have been a bit over-inflated according to recent-ish research, so that's ..er.. good?Nairn
- interesting stuff, thanks for increasing my anxiety tenfold :)fadein11
- Nobody is using all this rocket shit. Or planes!
All modern nuclear arsenals use submarines as delivery platform.grafician - Using submarines and multiple-warheads projectiles is the most efficient delivery system. Parking a sub near the coast and launching gives the enemy minutesgrafician
- ... in response time. Basically game over in 1 min in some cases.
Now go google what countries have nuclear subs :)grafician - The Great Filter was indeed the nuclear age...grafician
- wtf do submarines fire, then? And we appear to be very specifically talking about the Satan II, which is .. an icbm rocket with multiple warheads. Perhaps read.Nairn
- he thought the sub blew upfadein11
- I wish they’d fuckin’ use them already, pussiesscarabin
- @fade - that's what that status 6 thing's purported to do :/Nairn
- woah, had never heard of that one.fadein11
- Read the article at the end...Status-6 creates a "radioactive tsunami."yuekit
- blimey, insanefadein11
- Huh, I wasn't aware 'til I checked just how Fucking Big that Satan II actually is.

Russia Is Openly Talking About World War 3 for the First Time
- Best comment ever, from this article.
'At this stage, I doubt whether the Russian army can even fight WW I.'Continuity - ^LoL :-)PhanLo
- Russia and their terrible bluffing. If nukes were off the table Moscow would be in western hands in days should they push against NATO.ETM
- My guess is they'll try to invade every former Soviet territory. I'm not sure they'll bother with Belarus since they're shitty enough to be part of the team nowCyBrainX

From Eurovision Song Contest 2007. This is actually a really good song.

Audio isn't great quality, but fascinating presentation.
Less about war - more about why war, the demographic and resources grabbing that go on behind war.
