most of the weapons needed to produce a war of that caliber have been used up in ukraine already
Think about what specifically remains in Western stockpiles, please. WMDs delivered by the air force. We can talk about why WW3 hasn’t resulted from precision missile strikes of NATO command centers in Ukraine, or Iran precision striking “Israel” as a warning they can do the same to all of their nuclear reactors. We can talk about us “already being in WWIII” (my take, as we aren’t really at peace at all LOL). But in the event of the actual strategic level mass missile exchange, I think people are correct to say it would be the end of civilization as we know it on Earth.
