I like how there's boots on the ground in Syria and has been for years and it's all very hush hush in the media. Special military operation, not a war.

Mark Milley's fairly recent trip made it into most of the big rags for instance. It's just not super eventful and of course there's no challenge to the idea that they're there to fight isis.

Pretty sure when troops die in a part of the world they’re technically not supposed to be, they just blame it on helicopters. In addition to the poo poo load that die from helicopters anyways.

Reading that politico article from a while back had me thinking, how effective is the American nuclear trinity still anyway? I remember back in the oughts there was some chatter that America's silos were falling apart and relied on ancient, outdated technology so they pledged billions to update it, but I could see that being pure grift that never got out of the planning stages. What planes can even deliver nukes anymore? Presumably the subs are still fine when they aren't crashing into poo poo. Not that nuclear weapons need to work to accomplish their primary function, but there's hope that the world could be saved from an American freak out over losing a war when it turned out their 50-year-old silos don't actually work anymore.

The F-16 is capable of carrying nukes and IIRC the -22 as well. There's even a little switch for it in the 16 that you can see in consumer simulators, not operable obviously.

I wouldn’t bet against it, even if there is a pre-emptive attack and some silos didn’t work, no one wants to get hit with “only a few hundred warheads.” It is the same for the Russians versus the US as well. The bombers were supposed to allow a pause in negotiations so both sides could talk before the bombers made it but to be honest even that idea is pretty obsolete at this point. That said, both Russia and the US are using their strategic bombers for an array of other purposes anyway. Ardennes has issued a correction as of 00:36 on Jun 17, 2023 |

Over half the us's nukes are on subs anyway, which is plenty to destroy the whole world. I assume they're always loitering around the perimeter of eurasia ready to kill a few billion people on a moment's notice. There's 14 us ohio subs with 20 slbms sporting 12 warheads a piece. Full arsenal would be 3360 warheads and even if you assume only a third of that is ready to go at any given time everyone's hosed

Maybe thats how the human race will survive, nuke exchange happen and 60% of them are duds.

I don't think even full scale samson option style nuclear war where everyone brings in all the nukes for a biiiiig party would completely kill all humans. Is someone gonna nuke the azores or drc or the bahamas? Probably not

Not sure how long it would take the survivors to get things going again while also dealing with things like infections with no access to antibiotics Access to renewables changes things somewhat but you'd still need some way to maintain them

Global thermonuclear war would probably shake out as a net positive for the biosphere in the long run. Unless nuclear winter turns out to be real.

Seeing news that Russia has placed nukes in Belarus. But then... so what? This is already a power with ICBM and SSBNs. Moving some a couple hundred miles west can't possibly a bigger threat than that. Like, it seems like a poor man's brinkmanship, giving the appearance of upping the ante but in practice not adding any more actual capability. Plus what are they gonna do, nuke Ukraine? The winds will blow fallout right back in their face.
