I’m worried for the world. All I’ve been thinking about is WW3 and this shit makes me want to vomit. I can’t even smoke weed anymore without having a near panic attack. I feel unmotivated. I wake up and immediately just want to go back to bed. I’m not trying to spread fear but the Doomsday clock is 90 seconds till midnight, during the Cuban missile crisis, it was 7 minutes before midnight. Can we just have one day of fucking peace? Can everyone just stop for one day and enjoy one day of peace?
are you worried about nuclear war? why? you’ve got reminded that russia has nukes? everyone has, everyone has been keeping everyone else at gunpoint (missilepoint?) since 60s in giant mexican standoff. have you died in the meantime? i don’t think so. what makes you think it’s gonna change anytime soon?
here you have well informed take on escalation ladder (tldr: it’s nowhere near putin’s interest to actually do a massive escalation) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWKGYnO0Jf4 and a writeup https://acoup.blog/2022/03/11/collections-nuclear-deterrence-101/
i, for one, will enjoy one day of peace when russian regime falls. not holding my breath for this tho
