Life and how quickly we can die itself its humor

Don't be to terrified tho, the game lacks geopolitical interactions, therefor it is as from reality as Fallout 4 for example. What they miss completely is the fact that eradicating a whole country by irradiating it completely is not an option for a war, as you always try to gain land, resources, food stock, to gain in power on the way. After we saw the effects of radiation ont the japanese population, nuclear weapons got a mere tool of fear, nothing more. One has note, that i come to this conclusion, because i know that russia and america for example have nuclear weapon technology, that is virtually unstoppable, i am talking about missiles that travel at multiple times the speed of sound for days or even weeks, releasing radioactive material in the process.

Mandernach Luca that’s one thing I’ve noticed when people talk about nuclear Armageddon, they always leave out resources. Makes sense why the 2nd launcher would shoot, but the 1st launcher? What would they have to gain other than mutual destruction? And even if they could get away with “minimal “ damage, what then? You can’t conquer the area you nuked.not saying a nuclear war couldn’t happen but there’s a lot of questions I pose that no one cares to ask or answer other than, “cuz it’s inevitable”.well why is it? What could they gain?at the end of the day all countries want 2 things.1 self preservation 2 to conquer, dictate, or gain any sense of control for resources to benefit themselves.

Kaleb Pinkston if you lost territory to an enemy then there is a point at which it becomes rational to attack them with nuclear weapons. That is the application of mutually assured destruction policy to conventional warfare and geopolitics. The storming of west Germany was expected to unfold that way.

@ You wouldn't get it *smokes*

Yeah i really don't get it :(

Yeah it's a crappy policy that doesn't really keep people safe. It just creates more instability.

And not having nuclear weapons now is like standing there with them, with no matches. You just watch what happens.

​@@PATISLAVthis made me think a bit. Because, sure, big manchildren with nukes have the matches and everyone is drenched in gas, what is the better position? Be powerless to their whims, and pray nothing happens? Or have matches of your own and take up space in the constant taunts and mocking to strike? Made me think of NK, and how their constant missile tests could be more of a "we are here, leave us alone" ploy, instead of a crazy threat to end the world.

And yet, surprisingly, neither dropped their matches...

This is what I was searching for. The fact that you can defend all you want, try to prevent casualties as much as possible, but in the end... it isn't a victory. Just a slightly lesser defeat.

@@commandertoastcz6256also shows how pathetically petty the retaliatory strike is, even though the enemy’s missile systems have been exhausted and their aircraft and fleets destroyed by your forces, you still end up launching an attack on the defenseless civilian centers for no other reason than “you had it coming”

It reminds me of Avengers Endgame. At the start of the movie, Thanos still won. They killed him, sure. But that didn’t solve anything. Everyone they knew still died. It’s hard to even call it a Pyrrhic Victory. Even Pyrrhus of Epirus would have been deadened and sick by that reality.

@@thiccchungo1041 what more are you supposed to do? let their infrastructure and population intact so they can invade you 20-30 years later when you are barely rebuilding from the ruins and your young military-ready population is much smaller? nah, let them experience some good radiation rains for a couple of years and deformed babies for generations.

IRL refusing to launch your weapons would stop a full escalation because no other country would commit fully knowing that you still had strike capability which is why MAD works. No one wants to start a strike because waiting is the more beneficial move to make So knowing that you should wait for your enemy to launch and knowing that neither side will win if there is a launch is what brought all the nuclear powers to the negotiating table and cool off tensions

You can't be more accurate than this

@Deo That's some nice coolaid you're drinking, hoping the money put in the military aren't detracting in any way from your inalienable human rights. What's that? You must pay for an education? What's a health insurance?

"nothing more terrible that what they *were forced to do* " is more accurate I think. When one is unfortunate enough to find oneself on an active battlefield, fighting for survival, the only true choice is kill or be killed. It sends a chill down my spine just to think about that proposition, about having to indiscriminately and in cold blood take the life of another human being. Another man who might very well have a beautiful wife, not to mention children who will now never get to know their father simply because I believed my life to be more valuable. Another man who, if only times had been different, might even have become my best friend, possibly for life. War truly has no winners, but only pitiful losers, forced to kill indiscriminately and without question, only for the unlucky survivors to end up damaged, broke, lonely and forgotten; rotting away in a veterans home. To use an already horribly overused saying; war never determines who is right, only who is left.

Also - can we stop peddling this "everybody dies" notion, it's making out politicians sloppy and it's just an inaccurate statement. Not even "most people" would die in the event of modern nuclear exchange. Nuclear warheads aren't all that powerful, and people are spread out - killing them, even with nukes, takes 'a lot' of work. China's arsenal for instance is so wimpy that it is mathematically incapable of killing a quarter of the US' populace.

That’s what I’ve always said. The only thing I’d hope in a nuclear war is I get enough warning to get to a possible target so I can stand right under the fireball.

But trust me, go out with the bang, not the fallout.

Hitting cities _is_ realistic in nuclear war. Industrialized warfare is dependent on manpower and production. You hit cities, you destroy factories, obliterate shipyards, kill off skilled workers, and their families... You're not just winning a war by defeating the enemy's existing forces and driving them back. You're destroying a population's ability to even _participate_ in anything even remotely approaching industrialized warfare for *generations*. Escalating to DEFCON 1 is All or Nothing. If you don't have the gumption to take a deep breath, and push the button, and make the opposition pay in equal blood to what they just launched on you,? Then you die. And nobody will be around to care since the only thing you're really doing is that the other guy is just as crippled as to have to spend just as much time as you to rebuild society. It's PURE retaliation logic. And it helps manage MAD by the concept that even if we know we're going to die, we're vindictive enough to take the other side with us. DEFCON operates on the simple assumption that for whatever reason, MAD has broken down, nations are on the edge, and the time for 'limited' warfare has passed you like a Porsche going the other way. It IS possible to actually... WIN a game of DEFCON. When I say win, I MEAN win. No losses of population. I've done it precisely once. It required some pretty fine-tuned management of your silos swapping from ABM and Silo mode and a little bit of praying to RNGeezus that the enemy nations distributed their ICBM launches juuuuuust right.

why mass murder the ai if the point of the game is seeing they have been attacking you all along an you are their god

Realistically, limiting targeting to only military assets could only work if you made a preemptive strike during DEFCON 5 or 4 on New Year's Eve when everyone is drunk. You might have some success at DEFCON 3 but you are still going to be hurt bad. At DEFCON 2 or 1 you will be hitting empty silos (their counter strike will be in the air, headed towards you) or conventional units which pose no threat to you. All that assumes that you launch first. If you are reacting to their launch, your only choice is to do nothing in the hopes that they survive or you can ensure that they burn with you.

@@atigerclaw The winning with population intact sounds very interesting,is there any video or step to step to do it ?

@@jamesbrendan5170 There isn't. Like I said, I did it precisely once and I'm pretty sure I couldn't duplicate it on demand because it requires both crazy-good handling of when and where you switch your silos, and a good chunk of RNGeezus. Who shoots at who at what time and how much so as not to overwhelm your defenses. I'd think of it more like winning a card game. There's skill involved, but it comes down to what you're dealt.

the only ever 2 bombs used was for that reason, its really terrifying. how you fight something who is not afraid of dying, they will never lose. it was really useful we had a thing to really put fear in their hearths (and it took 2, when only one should have sufficed, that level of not wanting to lose...). I would totally chose that option if I were in the same place, who wouldn't ? two splashes and it ended the war. people like to talk about the cost of lives, but with that enemy, nothing would stop it, that probably saved more lives than the never-ending thousand year war. The other option would be surrender, good luck with that, the imperator would just kill you, because of their moral code that punish deserters, and you deserted your country (an enemy of the enemy is not an ally), so you must die too , not to mention horrific things that would make literal hitler puke.

@@monad_tcp if they didn't use nuclear weapons, the war in Japan would've extended by a few years, but the outcome would've been the same.

The huge numbers - and it's far reduced from the height of the Cold War in the 80s - was a calculus between NATO and the Soviets that if the other side launched a pre-emptive strike most of the nuclear arsenal would be destroyed on the ground before it could launch. Therefore, even assuming you've lost the vast majority of your own nuclear weapons, you'd still theoretically have enough left to retaliate and destroy whoever attacked you. This acts as a deterrent against the other side launching that pre-emptive strike in the first place. Since no nuclear wars have started since, the theory works.

When you think about it, the only thing that differenciates game and reality is the lack of consequences. That’s what makes you kill npcs or cops for fun in gta for example, because you won’t get killed or arrested irl for that. Funny enough lack of (personal) consequences is the same thing that i think would make high ranks to press the button.

So a destination bar with an optional drop down country menu.

@@v44n7 Aside from submarine based missiles all land silos have pre determined primary and secondary targets pre programmed into the launch systems.

World War V will be fought with crossbows, World War VI will be lasers, and World War VII will be blowguns. I don't know about World Wars VIII through XI. World War XII will use the same weapons as III, but will be fought entirely within underground tunnels. World War XIV will-Hey, come back! I have a whole list!"

@@strelkazorz "World war XXIII is the kicker, because it's back to sticks and stones from there..."

You know I always thought this quote to be stupid. Don’t get me wrong I get the idea that if a nuclear exchange ever occurred there’s a high likelihood that civilization as we know it would be forced to restart so the message was never lost on me, no, I just don’t like the implication that a future where another war of such epic proportions could be waged that it’d be deemed a “World War” would not have societies with technology above that of a caveman’s.

The game says your a general in a undergound bunker, safe from the nukes

*MATE*

@Vermin Supreme assuming we werent already a wasteland before

Minecraft story mode.

@@vr8652 MGS 2 even predicted memes and meme culture! Scary o.O

Spec ops the line?

I found it to be somewhat depressing. Like, I'm in a bunker, completely safe from this shitstorm, but... Look at what we've done! Look at how much we've destroyed! There won't be anything to "conquer". It'll all be gone!

Yes
