I bet there are sharks that go into less of a blood frenzy than these libs.

Love to pretend that I, the protagonist of life, would survive a nuclear war.

    do nukes really expire?

    The warheads do have a shelf life on the order of a few decades from what I've heard, since the radioactive material does gradually break down even when in a stable state and the high explosives used to kickstart the whole thing degrade over time. Like a few years ago there were articles about how most of the US's nuclear arsenal was rapidly reaching the point where the warheads might not go off if fired, paired with imperialist pearl clutching about how they all needed to be replaced and repaired of course, though I don't know if anything ever happened with that.

      It would be pretty hilarious if Russia and the US both hit the button and absolutely nothing worked and nobody died.

        Everyone would sigh a collective sigh of relief and then settle down to the most brutal conventional war in the history of humanity.

        Then it turns out only the nations who were bullied into getting nukes to defend themselves are the ones with working bombs. I wonder what they would do. :thinkin-lenin::data-laughing:

          hopefully use them to leverage themselves onto the UN security council and kick the old members off
