Hey, serious talk now. If you guys really think the world is gonna end, you should make time to play MGS3. It's a great game, and chronologiccally it's the first MEtal Gear game, so you don't need to play any of the others first. You can get it for the PS2, the 360, the PS3, the Vita even the dang 3DS.

China only has like 200 ICBMs, right? And under present circumstances they'd be splitting those between Russia and the U.S.? Probably none left over for Canada at that point.

less than that since IIRC they made a statement a few years ago saying they had less than England which only has 200

Nope, their guest explained that Steve Bannon wanted to create Breitbart as a hub of the alt-right and that he, the website and the alt-right were tied to white nationalism. The host rolled with it.

MGS3 is the metal gear game that even people who don't like metal gear games can enjoy. i have a love-hate relationship with kojima but mgs3 is loving fantastic. *extremely spicy voice* PERIOD.

Honestly if Trump charges down the barrel of a nuclear standoff with China I could see a lot of China's neighbours quietly backing away and not getting involved. Of course then they're at risk of Trump nuking them too.

Goddamn, can you imagine Trump's reaction to a carrier standoff in the South China Sea if Japan or South Korea made rumblings that they're not going to join the U.S. on full war footing? They'll get added to the target list via tweet.

Russia has plans for a nuclear weapon that would be detonated in the sea off of American coasts, creating 500 foot waves of massively irradiated water.

Only because people were more polite in the 80's

Reagan literally kicked off his 80 campaign at fairgrounds in a Klan-controlled city where no blacks were registered and where a bunch of civil rights workers had been slaughtered, and he came there to preach state's rights and the destruction of the VRA

Does the US have any real plans for the population if a nuke shooting war seems likely? Like....do any of the scenarios involve evacuation of any sort or is it just assumed that it's going to happen too fast?

In 2015, rumors emerged that Russia may be developing a new up to 100 megatons[20] nuclear torpedo, the Status-6 Ocean Multipurpose System,[21][22][23] codenamed “Kanyon” by Pentagon officials.[24][25] This weapon is designed to create a tsunami wave up to 500m tall that will radioactively contaminate a wide area on an enemy coasts with cobalt-60, and to be immune to anti-missile defense systems such as laser weapons and railguns that might disable an ICBM.
