> biggest risk of a nuclear war breaking out that the species has ever faced I think this is absurd and I really don’t like this line of thinking. This is being blown away out of proportion. Russia wants ukraine and China wants Taiwan. These are localised issues, nobody is invading Texas, and core territories of nuclear powers are not in danger. Much bigger chunks of lands have changed hands over the last 60 years, think collapse of USSR, the debacle in Afghanistan, Vietnam war, etc. The world did not end. In 2008 American banks did more damage to the world than Russia/China would by successfully taking these areas of land. Starting a nuclear exchange over these relatively small-ish issues would be peak idiocy. Yes, it sucks for the locals but there are 3 civil wars in Africa and conflict in the Middle East causing the same amount of misery, they are easier to solve but no one cares.
