Not entirely lifeless but yeah, a couple billion dead is a reasonable estimate.
BlastFX
No, it's not. A couple hundred million at most, assuming they only target big cities, all the nukes work and none are shot down.
Sure. Do you want a nuke on Chicago? New York? It's only a couple hundred million. So what does it matter? Are you stupid?
Tbf he's responding specifically to an estimate of "a couple billion dead." Which would be EXTREMELY hard to pull off, you'd need to nuke
huuuuuuuge areas.
Mustakraken
Yeah, but would it really? Russia was supposed to have a Superpower class army. It's budget for armed forces is equivalent to US just for
strategic forces, aka maintenance and upkeep of nuclear arsenal. They are supposedly maintaining *more* weapons then the US... On what is a
small fraction of their military budget. I don't wanna call the bluff, but it's definitely a bluff.
TacoPoweredHelicopter
You only need a few to launch, and a few to get through.
Those weapons need regular replacement of weapons grade materials, electronics and mechanical upkeep etc Again the US spends
something like 60+ billion of a 800+ billion military budget on this. Russia's *entire* military budget was like 65+ billion. There is no

I never heard of a war scenario against Russia where Nato had a defense line in Germany. Usually more at the Iberian peninsula
There's not enough nukes for that in the world. Millions dead? Yes. Half the world destroyed? Not even close.
Kemikaaliali
Dude theres enough nukes between russia and US to destroy the planet multiple times. In the hight of the cold war they could do it 14 times
That's simply not true. There are fewer than 14k nukes left in the world. If all of them worked and none were shot down, you could just 1/2
about hit all the cities with that. That's about half the population and negligible area. And most nukes would be shot down. 2/2
Nuclear winter, ozone depletion, emp, radioactive fallout, firestorms? And all the domino effects on food productions, ecologica, 1/2
MrBlankMan
Don't need to get directly hit by a nuke to be affected. Nuclear fallout can spread on air currents after the explosion and you're still f'd
Fallout is not nearly as bad as people think. There's a reason nukes are measured in kilotons of TNT and not area contaminated or something.

patta8388
Specially because Germany is the 2nd highest priority target after the US. Flatten Germany and you have a gate to western Europe
Germany's probably actually target #1. It's where the US has a bunch of nukes, and Germany hosts American airfields, army bases for EU land-
based logistics & more.
IF the US got hit by long-range nukes it's very, very likely Germany would be hit at the same time.
TurdBurglar3000
The Russian army is not the same thing as the Soviet army. That gate to Western Europe is useless if you're too incompetent to capture Kyiv.
Fair point, but it probably won't change the target list if it's all out nuclear war
mas0chist
Oh probably not, the russians will jist breakdown in the middle of their newly occupied wasteland xD
just*
you dont need to take Berlin if its a flattened nuclear wasteland.
Don't try to shoehorn Cold War logic into the current conflict. Russia has clearly stated its goals. Steamrolling France isn't one of them.

Careful you might get downvotes by a bunch of kids who are sure none of the Russian nukes will work...

Land based? Possibly not, the money hasnt really been there for maintenance, but that doesnt matter when you have boomers that do.

Spoiler alert, nukes are pretty much foolproof. Apply moderator > watch boom
It's like putting a gun to your head and hoping the rusty old bullets are too old to fire. They might not fire, but it's smarter to not.
its more like putting 6000 rusty guns to your head and hoping NONE of them fire
Dhatudhatu
I suspect Russia don't really want to use nukes given their megalomaniac fascist ideas for a "Greater-Russia" empire. Nuclear war kills that
So if they ever were to launch nukes, they would effectively kill themselves. Why do that?

Deadmanwalkn
It's not about if they *want* nuclear war. If it comes to a direct NATO vs Russia conflict, Russia WILL lose the conventional war. They 1/
stand no chance at all, and everyone involved knows it. So once they've lost the convention war and driven into a corner, they are left 2/
with no option but the nuclear one. That's the only way for them to fight back. Then once they fire, we fire...everyone dies. 3/3
Removing Russia from Ukraine involves no corners whatsoever. They are free to go back to their country. No invasion will happen.
Biznakis
Is anyone confident that their nukes work or even can be launched?
why do you think their armed forces are so run down? they spend most of the bidget on their nuclear arsenal..
Even if only 25% work, that's bad for millions of people
JamSandwichUK
Of course they work.
hangar
guessing at least one of them will
BinaryLogic
Even if they can't launch and just prematurely ejac- ahem, detonate, in the silo, that's still pretty bad for the planet overall.
Stolf
Eeeeeh...it's honestly probably where all the money for military goes to instead of troops/equipment
spartanatreyu
No, most of the money earmarked for the military was laundered by the oligarchs. Russia's own corruption has corrupted their war waging. 1/
Oh look, I've been given 1 trillion dollars to modernise the air force. I'm going to spend 200 million on 40 year old drones and 2/
40 year old bomb detonators and pocket the other 800 million. Hey boss, I spent that 1 trillion on the air force, now how about the army?...
DVSBSTrD
Because that's how ALL wars end now? Like how we nuked Afghanistan and Iraq, and Russia nuked Ukraine?
pyroshen
This is an ignorant take.
Literally how the last world's war ended. And that one didn't even start with nuclear bombs.
Superhereaux
I'm guessing you aren't too familiar with the word "nuked"
None of the defeated nations had nukes. Believe me, If there is a war between Russia and NATO, Russia is going to lose and then Putin and>
his circle won't have anything left to lose. When the war turns against them, that's the card they have left. Very not good.

Illinifan88
If NATO got involved, it'd be the first major conflict between nuclear powers. I think odds are low, but not worth the risk.
honda4wssi9
Not to mention India has like the 2nd or 3rd largest and most modern army in the world.
eetsumkaus
Depends how you define "major"...India and Pakistan have had engagements since they became nuclear states
When you’re fighting against nuclear powers, yea, it could. Those wars were nothing like what this could end up like. Naive post.
BreathBeStank
Russia doesn't wanna nuke Ukraine because what's the point in owning a wasteland. We didn't allow Afganistan to weaponize.
Russia is fine with that as long ass the oil and iron can be mined within a few decades. Moscow turning to glass is what stops them.
Afghanistan doesnt have a nuclear program because they dont have the kind of co-ordination, facilities or money for one.
doobiedoobop
The point is for a country obsessed with its image of military strength to save face. If can't conquer them, destroy them.

Can't even count ww1 nukes weren't even an idea yet, so 100% if world wars while nukes existed ended in nukes

How many nukes did Afghanistan, Iraq and Ukraine have when they were invaded? That plays a role, just saying...

LyraTheLycan
Afghanistan, not that we know of, Iraq were developing nukes, that's one reason why they were invaded, and Ukraine did but they're Russia's
The US claimed Iraq had WMD's several times yet noone ever found any. Makes you wonder.
Ah I personally believe that the US gov is more evil than anyone they've attacked or been attacked by in a while. Global military overlords.

Right? Its like nukes aren't offensive weapons according to long standing proliferation doctrine. Anyone who has them
Can usually throw hands so if doesn't matter unless if its madness.
Not for lack of trying though. US generals wanted to drop nukes on Korea, Vietnam and Iraq.

SomeDetroitGuy
Not entirely lifeless but yeah, a couple billion dead is a reasonable estimate.
BlastFX
No, it's not. A couple hundred million at most, assuming they only target big cities, all the nukes work and none are shot down.
missingdodo
Sure. Do you want a nuke on Chicago? New York? It's only a couple hundred million. So what does it matter? Are you stupid?
Feralkyn
Tbf he's responding specifically to an estimate of "a couple billion dead." Which would be EXTREMELY hard to pull off, you'd need to nuke
Feralkyn
huuuuuuuge areas.
Mustakraken
Yeah, but would it really? Russia was supposed to have a Superpower class army. It's budget for armed forces is equivalent to US just for
Mustakraken
strategic forces, aka maintenance and upkeep of nuclear arsenal. They are supposedly maintaining *more* weapons then the US... On what is a
Mustakraken
small fraction of their military budget. I don't wanna call the bluff, but it's definitely a bluff.
TacoPoweredHelicopter
You only need a few to launch, and a few to get through.
Mustakraken
Those weapons need regular replacement of weapons grade materials, electronics and mechanical upkeep etc Again the US spends

something like 60+ billion of a 800+ billion military budget on this. Russia's *entire* military budget was like 65+ billion. There is no

I never heard of a war scenario against Russia where Nato had a defense line in Germany. Usually more at the Iberian peninsula
BlastFX
There's not enough nukes for that in the world. Millions dead? Yes. Half the world destroyed? Not even close.
Kemikaaliali
Dude theres enough nukes between russia and US to destroy the planet multiple times. In the hight of the cold war they could do it 14 times
BlastFX
That's simply not true. There are fewer than 14k nukes left in the world. If all of them worked and none were shot down, you could just 1/2
BlastFX
about hit all the cities with that. That's about half the population and negligible area. And most nukes would be shot down. 2/2
Kemikaaliali
Nuclear winter, ozone depletion, emp, radioactive fallout, firestorms? And all the domino effects on food productions, ecologica, 1/2
MrBlankMan
Don't need to get directly hit by a nuke to be affected. Nuclear fallout can spread on air currents after the explosion and you're still f'd
BlastFX
Fallout is not nearly as bad as people think. There's a reason nukes are measured in kilotons of TNT and not area contaminated or something.
Bystandr
Just let him know - we wont be the first to use one, but when he does, we're nuking him flat. Im fine with that. Better than allowing this.

patta8388
Specially because Germany is the 2nd highest priority target after the US. Flatten Germany and you have a gate to western Europe
Feralkyn
Germany's probably actually target #1. It's where the US has a bunch of nukes, and Germany hosts American airfields, army bases for EU land-
Feralkyn
based logistics & more.
Feralkyn
IF the US got hit by long-range nukes it's very, very likely Germany would be hit at the same time.
TurdBurglar3000
The Russian army is not the same thing as the Soviet army. That gate to Western Europe is useless if you're too incompetent to capture Kyiv.
patta8388
Fair point, but it probably won't change the target list if it's all out nuclear war
mas0chist
Oh probably not, the russians will jist breakdown in the middle of their newly occupied wasteland xD
mas0chist
just*
mas0chist
you dont need to take Berlin if its a flattened nuclear wasteland.
TurdBurglar3000
Don't try to shoehorn Cold War logic into the current conflict. Russia has clearly stated its goals. Steamrolling France isn't one of them.
Idontneedrealfacts
Careful you might get downvotes by a bunch of kids who are sure none of the Russian nukes will work...
SupportGeek
Land based? Possibly not, the money hasnt really been there for maintenance, but that doesnt matter when you have boomers that do.

Spoiler alert, nukes are pretty much foolproof. Apply moderator > watch boom
afambelafonte
It's like putting a gun to your head and hoping the rusty old bullets are too old to fire. They might not fire, but it's smarter to not.
Idontneedrealfacts
its more like putting 6000 rusty guns to your head and hoping NONE of them fire
Dhatudhatu
I suspect Russia don't really want to use nukes given their megalomaniac fascist ideas for a "Greater-Russia" empire. Nuclear war kills that
Dhatudhatu
So if they ever were to launch nukes, they would effectively kill themselves. Why do that?

Deadmanwalkn
It's not about if they *want* nuclear war. If it comes to a direct NATO vs Russia conflict, Russia WILL lose the conventional war. They 1/
Deadmanwalkn
stand no chance at all, and everyone involved knows it. So once they've lost the convention war and driven into a corner, they are left 2/
Deadmanwalkn
with no option but the nuclear one. That's the only way for them to fight back. Then once they fire, we fire...everyone dies. 3/3
Dhatudhatu
Removing Russia from Ukraine involves no corners whatsoever. They are free to go back to their country. No invasion will happen.
Biznakis
Is anyone confident that their nukes work or even can be launched?
mas0chist
why do you think their armed forces are so run down? they spend most of the bidget on their nuclear arsenal..
ThePunishersVengefulBrother
Even if only 25% work, that's bad for millions of people
JamSandwichUK
Of course they work.
hangar
guessing at least one of them will
BinaryLogic
Even if they can't launch and just prematurely ejac- ahem, detonate, in the silo, that's still pretty bad for the planet overall.
Stolf
Eeeeeh...it's honestly probably where all the money for military goes to instead of troops/equipment
spartanatreyu
No, most of the money earmarked for the military was laundered by the oligarchs. Russia's own corruption has corrupted their war waging. 1/

40 year old bomb detonators and pocket the other 800 million. Hey boss, I spent that 1 trillion on the air force, now how about the army?...
DVSBSTrD
Because that's how ALL wars end now? Like how we nuked Afghanistan and Iraq, and Russia nuked Ukraine?
pyroshen
This is an ignorant take.
Quoththeraver
Literally how the last world's war ended. And that one didn't even start with nuclear bombs.

I'm guessing you aren't too familiar with the word "nuked"
mercyPandaRunner
None of the defeated nations had nukes. Believe me, If there is a war between Russia and NATO, Russia is going to lose and then Putin and>

his circle won't have anything left to lose. When the war turns against them, that's the card they have left. Very not good.
Ryebread91
Did America consider nuking them?

Thank God we have president grandpa and not president spraytan... he would have nuked Ukraine for pootiepie
TheWarHymn
He said WW3, not all wars.
Illinifan88
If NATO got involved, it'd be the first major conflict between nuclear powers. I think odds are low, but not worth the risk.
honda4wssi9
Not to mention India has like the 2nd or 3rd largest and most modern army in the world.
eetsumkaus
Depends how you define "major"...India and Pakistan have had engagements since they became nuclear states
JamSandwichUK
When you’re fighting against nuclear powers, yea, it could. Those wars were nothing like what this could end up like. Naive post.
BreathBeStank
Russia doesn't wanna nuke Ukraine because what's the point in owning a wasteland. We didn't allow Afganistan to weaponize.
CraftyGiant
Russia is fine with that as long ass the oil and iron can be mined within a few decades. Moscow turning to glass is what stops them.
SupportGeek
Afghanistan doesnt have a nuclear program because they dont have the kind of co-ordination, facilities or money for one.
doobiedoobop
The point is for a country obsessed with its image of military strength to save face. If can't conquer them, destroy them.

Depends how you count world wars. If the definition is all major powers involved and fighting on all continents, the 7 year war would count

levels normalized very fast, and the radioactive area was pretty small to start with; dropping 3~4 orders of magnitude in 3km or 2 miles.

On the other hand, it literally happened only once. So… maybe it’s not likely to ever happen again now that everyone knows the consequences.

Can't even count ww1 nukes weren't even an idea yet, so 100% if world wars while nukes existed ended in nukes

Concerning how WW1 was conducted, you can be 100% sure that if they had nukes back then, they would have evaporated the entire continent.

Germany surrendered before the nukes

How many nukes did Afghanistan, Iraq and Ukraine have when they were invaded? That plays a role, just saying...

None, none, and none?

Bingo.
LyraTheLycan
Afghanistan, not that we know of, Iraq were developing nukes, that's one reason why they were invaded, and Ukraine did but they're Russia's
ztygs
The US claimed Iraq had WMD's several times yet noone ever found any. Makes you wonder.
LyraTheLycan
Ah I personally believe that the US gov is more evil than anyone they've attacked or been attacked by in a while. Global military overlords.
