Kyiv could rapidly develop a rudimentary weapon similar to that dropped on Nagasaki in 1945 to stop Russia if the US cuts military aid, it has been suggested

    I’m not against the reset that would come with WW3. Humanity sucks anyway, so not a big loss there.

      Call me selfish, but I kinda hoped to retire above ground.

      I think you need to read this because you could very well be amongst the survivors.

        Thanks for your concern, but I live reasonably close to a nuclear power plant, a prime target for a nuke strike. I’ll just drive up there and wait for it to drop. Fingers crossed.

          Quite bold of you to assume that the missile fired at such a plant will definitely explode. Which is weird, because that’s not how actual explosives work.

          So possibly wishing for something that could end in your slow, lingering, painful death is not the best thing to wish for.
