Default WW3 Please SAY NO!

Here are the 10 countries with the most nuclear weapons:
Russia (6,257)
United States (5,550)
China (350)
France (290)
United Kingdom (225)
Pakistan (165)
India (156)
Israel (90)

Comparing the Little Boy Atomic Bomb used in WW2 versus todays nukes--

1945 -Little Boy = 30,000,000 pounds of TNT

Today--100 Kilotons = 220,462,262 pounds of TNT -

experts say there may be more powerful nukes out there! Its scary what mankind has created!

I'm going to refrain from getting political, but for the sake of this thread, there's not going to be a World War III. I have a better chance of becoming Pope than World War III happening.

Default Lucky to survive

That fellow was lucky to survive just losing a Thumb , thousands of people were instantly vaporized with 5,000 degree blast of heat with the very low yield Little Boy bomb.

Deterrent. A first strike by Russia for instance might target and destroy a good number of our weapons before they deploy. The idea is to have enough to still retaliate in force, no matter how heavy the preemptive first strike. Not to mention, a retaliation may involve targeting multiple other countries (and our main adversaries are nations with a lot of territory.)

It's not a pleasant thought, but there is a certain logic to it.

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I'm looking at this differently than the MSM's current narrative. The worldwide criminal cabal has used Ukraine to launder money for years. I think there's a whole lot more going on there than advertised, IMO.

Lot of mental gymnastics going on here, I'm not even going to attempt to decipher or rationalize.

Curious....who's "The Worldwide Criminal Cabal"?

Also, do you think Putin...who is to crooked Russian Oligarchs, what Roger Goodell is to NFL owners, is attempting to rid the world of money laundering by invading the Ukraine?

Asking for a friend.

Ok, I take it back. I'm attempting to decipher.
