It would work if the villain sells conventional weapons - we've been itching for a conventional world war for a while now, and nukes are the only reason we've not been able to.
- lukan 3y agoSince it seems, we are heading there anyway, I would feel safer with the bombs out of the way.
- exe34 3y agoNo, the nukes in the hands of superpowers are the only reason we have had peace for so long.
- lukan 3y agoPeace? You mean there was no world war, but there were and are plenty of wars going on all the time. Also it is quite a risky bet, to assume all the actors will remain rational.
- exe34 3y agoThe only two actors capable of inflicting gigadeath are still the US and Russia. Both of them are ultimately run by oligarchs who want to remain alive, and have a population to lord over. The actors who are genuinely irrational don't really have the number of nukes to do more than cause ~megadeath. This sort of thing would only happen once and then the actors would cease to exist.
