No it's not. Maybe you haven't heard but there is a war in Ukraine. They gave up nukes in exchange for pinky swear promises that their sovereignty would be respected.
I dont care if you think Ukraine couldn't use them or if they would have been invaded if they didn't agree. The Ukraine war is a giant fucking advertisement for owning nukes.
The only thing psychotic hairless apes understand is immense violence. We are not civilized. We are cavemen with atom bombs and spaceships.
Every country should own nukes. Every country without nukes doesn't matter and is ripe for exploitation or invasion.
I agree with this.
Everyone who downvoted you were wrong and you were right about having nuclear weapon. The whole damn point of nuclear weapon is to raise the cost of going to war with said country so that nobody ever fucking try to go and start a war. This is single-handedly the biggest contributor to the longest period of peace in our history. We would've already been well in our way to WW5 or WW6 if we didn't have nukes.
I thought Lemmy might be different, but it's astroturfed to hell.
It's just .ml that's weird like this
10s of millions of people dead at the altars of US capitalism
Is this the "period of peace"?
tfw you find a place that isn't astroturfed as much and are shocked to find your totally organic opinion is devalued
Is this "period of peace" in the room with us right now?
