(2,596 posts)Well, according to the former US national security director under HW Bush (I believe that's right), who is an expert on nuclear weapons and is still in his 90s actively traveling the world and trying to educate and direct efforts against proliferation of nuclear weapons, even a limited strike at a country like North Korea will inevitably not be survivable. His belief that while humans may not all die immediately as a result of a limited nuke strike, the effects on the upper atmosphere would produce such catastrophic consequences in such very short order that it's almost assured that the human species would be extinct along with an enormous number of other mammalian species as a result of the global atmospheric and weather changes that result. He believes this would produce the Third Extinction. I do not believe that any nuclear country (with the possible exception of only NK) want to seriously entertain the notion of any kind of nuclear deployment. The only shithole that truly does believe that deploying a nuclear weapon is a good idea is Shitler. He is joined by some within this military who think that the consequences would be worth the risk to be sure, but Shitler only wants to do this because he believes it would prove he's got the biggest swingin' dick in the in the universe. The others are those who are apparently disciples of Dr. Strangelove.
