Hi I'm an Iranian and wanted to say that I really feel sad and angry with my government in this war, if you have heard any news from Iron recently, you would know that we(people) are fighting the government it self
I hope for a day when there is no more wars on earth.

My dad was a nuclear ordinance officer, and one night, when there had been a scare of some kind, I snuck down to listen to him and his buddies talking in the den when the Moms were cleaning up the kitchen (and drinking heavily). He didn’t realize that I could put my ear on a floor grate and hear every word spoken in the den. They said a lot of things I didn’t understand, being 8, but I remember someone asking my Dad, “Would you really risk New York because they’d dropped one on Bonn?” I guessed they were postulating what we’d have to do if the USSR dropped a nuke on Germany, and how the USSR would retaliate. After a minute, my Dad answered in his gravely voice, “What makes you think they’d stop at New York? Or Miami, or San Diego or Norfolk?” I heard glasses and ice clinking and the ice bucket being moved. “We fire one, we’re gone. All of us. Those women in there, those kids upstairs in their beds, burned to dust. For f**ng nothing except a bunch of people’s ego.” There was noise and shuffling of feet. Dad was making them nervous. “Would you do it?” I didn’t recognize the voice; I thought it was the new guy in their group. “Could you make the call?” There was another long pause. And my Dad said, “If I got the order. Not a test, not a simulation, real world…then God help me, because I wouldn’t have anything to crawl back out of that da*n hole for, even if we survived the initial salvo. Sherry dead, the kids dead…yeah. I’d launch. Because you know we’re in the middle of a big red bullseye on somebody’s board, maybe 5 or 6 boards, we wouldn’t just get one, and it wouldn’t be an hour before we got it. So, I’d do what I was ordered. And then I’d climb out, walk home, and end it.” There was a lot of shifting around, suits sliding around on leather couches. “Same.” The voice belonged to one of Dad’s best friends. They had a little boy I couldn’t stand. “I’d do my duty, and come home.” There was muffled words, men saying yes to a nightmare that could start any second, or never. “What are they going to do, send the MPs after us?” There were chuckles and my dad must have filled his glass. “Well, here’s to those poor bas***ds of us who watch. And hope. And pray that call never comes.” I heard the moms coming in as the glasses clinked, and I could smell the cake and the jam cookies Mom had spent half the afternoon baking. I eased back to bed, and for some reason I began to cry. Not just for my Dad and his friends, but for all of us kids, growing up in the nuclear shadow, waiting for the day when the sirens went off for real and we knew death was coming.

It would be a no-win situation that could compel nations with nukes to use them. For example, the North could launch an attack against S. Korea. Similarly, India could launch an attack against Pakistan. Aside from that, world financial markets would plunge, panic buying of food would occur at unprecedented levels, lawlessness would result, and anxiety would rise to a fever pitch

Fitting that a therapist platform is the sponsor for a video about nuclear war 😅

A major thing that people overlook is wind. The winds typically travel from Ukraine towards Russia, so if Russia were to drop a Nuke the chances are that some fall out would end up in Russia. They would literally be nuking themselves in essence. Of course this all depends on current weather + where in Ukraine they were to strike. Hopefully it never happens though.

Good video as per usual, but for the record: BetterHelp has been shown to be scummy for several years now and they recently had a scandal with selling user data

One correction: Nuclear weapons up to about 50 kiloton are considered 'tactical' nukes today... For comparison the nuclear bomb dropped on Hiroshima was aprox. 16 kiloton.. (so today it WOULD be considered a tactical nuclear weapon). Strategic nuclear weapons today are measured in the MEGAton

I honestly feel bad for people who didn't live a part of their life during the Cold War. When I was a kid, the threat of seeing a white flash in the distance and never seeing anything ever again was just a part of life. Me and some former classmates have joked about our nuclear preparedness drills that our school was probably just far enough away from a target, and built just well enough for someone in the future to have found our charred little bodies hiding under our charred little desks. It's dark I know, but that's just one more little trauma Gen Xers have going for us.

Maybe a nuclear winter will stop global warming? Maybe?

Wargaming nuclear war while promoting online therapy services. There's some brilliant synergy lol

1 nuke flies, more nukes fly. even MORE nukes fly, and suddenly they're playing "We'll meet again", as sung by Vera Lynn, and used in the final scene of "Dr. Strangelove".

This man getting too comfortable speaking this into existence 😂😂💀

If owning nukes and acting crazy means you can do whatever you want because everyone else is scared of you, you win.

In the event of nuclear weapons being used, both sides of the conflict could find themselves in a situation where they both try to escalate the conflict in order to deescalate it. How this might play out, is that Russia uses one bomb after which NATO replies with two, then Russia in turn retaliates with four, and so on and son up the escalation ladder. If this scenario actually pans out, both sides will eventually graduate from attacking military targets to targeting each other's major population centres, such is the logic of nuclear escalation. The end result of this policy will be the total destruction of both sides, which makes no sense at all!

I'm pretty sure they've already met and discussed what the options would be before this happens

Sergei Shoigu watching this and saying “WTF leave me out of this”

It should not be forgotten that the use of nuclear weapons by Russia--or by anyone for that matter--would be largely self-defeating. Such use would provide no guarantee of victory, but it would mark out Russia as clearly in the wrong as well as the party responsible for radioactive fallout that is likely to affect Europe, much of the rest of world, and ironically Russia itself, perhaps even primarily Russia. The rest of world should not let itself sink to that level. NATO should take action against Russia with firmness and discipline, but not in such a way as to be seen as bad as Russia. One reason the Central Powers and the Axis Powers lost World War I and World War II, respectively, is that they ended up crushed by the weight of the rest of the world that lined up almost entirely against them. So it should continue to be with the present conflict.

It's kind of funny that he mentions Kadyrov shortly before the FSB quite possibly poisoned him.

I love it that they advertise therapy in the middle of a video about WW3.
