Just reading the Wikipedia synopsis of this films plot I already feel like it’s nightmare material. How on earth we as in humanity want to keep weapons around that would render us this way is still beyond my comprehension. I also don’t know that I want to be a survivor of a nuclear war. I will be honest, don’t think I could handle it. I have dogs and a wife that needs specialized care. Just thinking about the terrible things that could happen to them alone and not even getting into the rest of the people I care about has already managed to depress me now. I’d rather avert circumstances than even risk exchanging nukes

>we as in humanity want to keep weapons around We don't. But it's basically impossible to get rid of them given the existence of incentives.

  Perhaps it is time we truly change those incentives once and for all. Whatever “effectiveness” nuclear weapons have is not worth it. Rather relegate them to the dust bin of history under “terrible decision, do not recommend, keep away” I realize it’s merely wishful thinking right now but it feels paramount to me
