The world has changed a lot since then. No country, even the US, would get away with being initiator of a nuclear war (assuming enough of us survived).

- cmurf 5y agoI can imagine a scenario of acceptable first use of nukes, and that is against a country using nukes as a threat so they can conduct atrocities with conventional weapons. I do not know what number or rate of dead I would get on board with vaporizing 12 million humans in Moscow to try and kill Putin. Is it 100,000 per day? 1 million per day? But there is a number, because if it keeps up, it just means this thing is not going to be contained to Ukraine. And even if 12 million in Moscow are incinerated by a nuclear weapon, there'd be hope that we stop it before it gets even as bad as world war two. And that to me is a goal. ~90 million died globally in world war two, 1/3 from famine. Not that I'd be given a choice but being vaporized sounds better than starving to death and likely becoming a murderer in hand to hand combat fighting for food to survive. Seriously fuck that, nuke me.
