Wow I can't believe botulism is back on the menu after the FDA just flat out stopped all food inspections.

I don't think I have roni, I don't have a fever. So I guess I just have some annoying respiratory chest thing going on and then the roni will strike and finish me off.

Battle of Antietam would be the biggest one day loss of life when you add up casualties from North and South.

Yeah but the South shouldn't be counted in casualty estimates.

count them as 3/5ths of a casualty

Nukes are scary, yes (see: Threads), but they aren't as scary as we once thought. For one, nuclear winter isn't likely (we'd get global dimming some more, but it'd clear up soon). And more importantly, nukes can be shot down. Anti-missile missiles are a thing, and it's almost certain that China has them (hence why they have fewer nukes than loving FRANCE). Anti-missile lasers and anti-missile railguns are also a big thing. Curiously, guess what China's been going all in with since around 2016 or so. No missile can outrun a loving laser or railgun projectile.
They're also funding heavily, and I mean loving HEAVILY, into artificial intelligence. So they'll even be able to aim these with aimbots better than anything you've ever seen.

Not just ICBMs, but even smaller tactical missiles and bombers will be at the mercy of lasers and railguns. Hell, they probably already are. The reason why such a thing isn't more widely known is because that would gently caress with MAD (which was the only thing keeping us alive and away from WW3).

The USA, Russia, China, UK, France, Israel, and North Korea can fire every single missile we have and at least a few hundred would hit, but our anti-missile defenses are probably a full decade beyond what we know and the majority of the barrage would get fuckslapped by light itself.

That's not to say that nukes wouldn't gently caress everything up. They'd immediately kill at least several hundred million people and completely disrupt supply lines, kill the most valuable workers and intelligentsia, and then eventually cause society to break down. But all those tales about humanity going extinct from a nuclear war were wrong (it's actually a worse fate than immediate extinction to me), and in our infinite sadism, we've somehow managed to start neutralizing even loving nuclear weapons.

But that raises a question that no one thought to ask: if nukes aren't anywhere near as much of a threat, then what's stopping WW3? Truth be told, it's all the other WMDs we still have. Including bioweapons.

Now I'm not saying that COVID-19 is actually the Wuhan Bioweapon Virus, but I am saying that, if the USA and China really wanted to take everyone out, we'd unleash one of those ultra-viruses that have something like a 98% death rate. You know, the top-secret virus that crosses the contagiousness of measles with a fast-acting prion disease. And THEN launch the nukes.

Spartacus and Black Sails should both be required watching. Spartacus is sometimes a tough sell because it starts out as a lovely 300 for the first 3 episodes but after that it finds its voice and it doesnt stop.
