I should’ve guessed that “Russia’s nukes are probably all old and falling apart anyway” was yet more projection

Oh I’m sure theirs are too. The problem is that there is no profitable way to maintain a nuclear arsenal

I hate that it’s important to maintain a “everyone dies” card, seeing as the only country we’d use nukes against would be a country powerful enough to have their own nukes, and these are getting fired for the sole purpose of ensuring that literally everyone goes out with us. I get that they’re also deterrents, but the deterrent here is that this is our “everyone dies” card; I genuinely doubt any other nation would be the first to fire a nuke.
