    none of this matters

    India, Pakistan or China alone, nevermind altogether, have enough nukes to end all of Europe, and all three are reeling from climate change (also caused by Europe)

    the way things are going the tech will be shared even further with other 3rd world nations, providing a totally indefensible platter of strike sources (current peak of US tech can’t even shoot down nukes with a 50% success rate from a known location, and decoys aren’t even used in simulations)

    the world will live in the north either peacefully or through massacring 95% of their population first with a bit of much needed nuclear-winter-induced global cooling on the side

      While I agree that it doesn’t impact most of the world, would you at least spare some sympathy for minorities living in the imperial core, which I am one of? I’m not looking forward to battling the Freikorps in the streets.

      I agree that globally this likely won’t have much of an impact. Europe is a tiny percentage of the world population, and BRICS is already a bigger economy than the G7. I think this will mostly be a tragedy for people of Europe.

      I doubt any country in this era would dare to use nuclear weapons because Europe has enough nukes to end all of those countries as well. Economic warfare and traditional warfare is more likely than an apocalyptic event that would end a very large chunk of human life on earth.

        those countries are ending anyway so not an argument

        Economic warfare and traditional warfare

        the economics of half your continent turning into an oven

        the leaders basically all know this and that’s why they’ve tacitly agreed to let a bunch of 3rd world people in. And why Modi and Xi are content to let 10 guys brawl it out in Ladakh instead of doing anything real

          Still, what leader is willing to publicly kill 95% of their population in a day so a small, random minority can live in the North. This type of war is a lose-lose situation for all parties.

          While nuclear winter is worse for the Northern hemisphere, we would be seeing 16C air temperature changes, which is significantly worse than the 3-4C of expected climate change.

            Basically any leader elected by hundreds of millions of angry 3rd world people, lol (hot weather also makes people even angrier, scientifically confirmed)

            This type of war is a lose-lose situation for all parties

            It is not. They were going to lose anyway
