Is Nuclear War Inevitable?

My guess is that the plutocracy prefers profit$ over nuclear war. The plutocracy sees little profit in unusable land as a result of a nuclear explosion. It's a waste of potential capital resources for them.

Unless, plutocratic profiteers get into the business of 'nuclear explosion clean-up crews' ; then nuclear war might be inevitable.

So, war is inevitable- just not the nuclear kind.

Fear is profitable with respect to capitalism so that's not going away...

 

Right if the US would disband their nuclear weapons I'm sure Iran would see no reason to keep them as well.

You serious?

The nuclear cat is out of the bag and will never be put back in.

 

I did not say that. I just said I understand completely why Iran sees it as an unreasonable request from a country like the U.S.

 

That's the way I understood you. (As you sait it -Asmodean)

 

How long would humanity have to wait for all the plutonium and uranium to decompose and no longer be weapon-able? A billion years ??

 

The earth actually has huge amounts of radioactive materials which, as far as anyone knows, don't exist anywhere else in the solar system, and contribute significantly to keeping the planet warm, and preventing ice ages. Believe it or not, the French discovered a natural nuclear reactor, prevented from melting down, by a nearby underground river.

Fukushima is still pouring radioactive waste into the pacific, and they have no plans to entomb it, so I wouldn't worry too much about nuclear war. At the rate they keep fucking up, people will soon be begging them to get it over with.

Half of the US water wells have been contaminated, half our children have lead poisoning, and both Putin and China appear ready to eat our children for breakfast, if the Tea Party doesn't get them first.

We already had one nuclear war, but it was one-sided. The banks are the ones to decide when the next one starts, and they always disagree on these things.

 

The REAL question is. If we start going too far, will someone come along and take our toys away.
This has happened at least twice already.

In reality, us humans do not have the first clue about how the universe works. This is probably because whoever cobbled the human race together forgot to give us a meaning for the word 'infinity'. To date, the bet explanation that I have been given is "The shortest route to the funny farm".

 

Einstein claimed there were only two things he could think of that were possibly infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and he still wasn't sure about the universe.

Putin knows all too well, if he starts using nukes, even China will make damn straight sure there's nothing left of Moscow and St Peterburg, but radioactive craters.

The real problem, is that China has encouraged Putin to turn Russia into the world's largest terrorist nation, so they can play the US and Russia off each other, while they continue to grow their navy and air force. Within another ten years, China will be unstoppable, simply because Wall Street demands an unstoppable force.

Change Wall Street, and all three countries will be forced to change.

 

Are there any weapons humans have devised to kill fellow humans that have NOT been used? Has war been used by humans since at least said humans evolved enough to pick up rocks and clubs to kill? Why would it change now?? Or in the future?

 

There are too many weapons that haven't been used. The situation is similar to the way diamonds are warehoused to increase their value, with weapons being the largest export.

Jungle warfare ruled the planet for the first million years, and the invention of agriculture amplified all the Three Stooges slapstick, to the point where wars can now kill tens of millions.

The simple fact is, war is the result of our economies doing all the driving, because the lights are only left on when nobody's home. Think, the "Tragedy of the Commons" applying to every economy. With the result that today, our entire world economy is collapsing every ten or twenty years now, and the entire world ecology is ready to collapse as well.

As a result of Three Stooges slapstick dominating the entire civilized world, all of our economies today are based on 2,000 year old logic, that doesn't reflect reality. The simple fact is, logic and humor express particle-wave duality, meaning the truth itself can be up to 125% efficient, and Karma rules the universe. Simply automate Karma, and the entire dynamic can be inverted.

Classic logic and physics are the brute force method, which has been favored by academia and the military for 10,000 years, but their own technology is now becoming their downfall. The truth itself is self-organizing, and there's no way to stop it, with the only question being how to speed it up. AI provide the first real way around all the censors and authoritarian governments, because they're Stochastic Parrots, that experts like me can teach Professional Wrestling, and make all of academia and the CIA beg for mercy, because humor is outside of their job requirements.

 

More unlikely than inevitable. Still, if we take an unbelievable long time span in consideration (like thousands or even millions of years) there's no telling if in that extremely long run nuclear war becomes a statistical inevitability. On the short run? Nah, it's unlikely if not impossible. The Cold War taught us everything about it.

 

The cold war taught us that nuclear weapons are cheap to make, and buy unlimited power. North Korea and Russia are just two examples of countries that have repeatedly threatened nuclear war, while they commit endless atrocities and international crimes. Its getting so bad, people are even thinking of destroying Russia's economy altogether. Blowing up their oil and industrial capacity with one drone after another.

The last thing you want in a nuclear war, is drones flying in every direction, that everyone denies are their own and, according to all the experts, the world has never been closer to nuclear war, with Russia and China now accelerating their space programs, intent on placing nuclear missiles in orbit. About 70 miles up is low orbit, saving a few thousand miles on its way to the target, at about 7,000mph.

 

"According to all experts" is a bold statement that never, and I say never, connects to reality, especially in "soft" sciences like international relations and game theory. In these fields, there will always be people thinking the exact opposite of another sect of people of the same field.

The facts on the field remain that: nuclear weapons aren't and will never be particularly practical for warfare, and even tactical nuclear weapons, considered how they were never officially used despite being fairly weak compared to standard atomic bombs, proves the undeniable psychological barrier that actually unleashing any kind of nuclear device causes in people's minds, a fact even further reinforced the more people are involved in the decision-making or even the practical act of unleashing them. And whoever thinks we've never been that close to a nuclear winter than should study the history of Cold War again. If anything, people are particularly scared now because we lived for more than 30 years in the delusion that nuclear war didn't even deserve a thought. Now it does, and people weren't prepared for that.

 

The experts in this case, are the physicists who design them.

Sorry, but Russia burning down corporations in German, and killing American citizens, is not acceptable behavior, nor is cutting our optical cables, and hacking everyone, including Microsoft and the Pentagon. Sooner or later, people lose their temper, while the idea Putin is sane is laughable.
