The nuke thing was just the average trot take during the height of the Cold War, they called it "nuclear realism". They saw a nuclear war between the USA and USSR as absolutely inevitable, a semi-logical conclusion of their "neither Washington nor Moscow" position where they recognized the US as genocidal capitalist ghouls, but also perceived the USSR and all other AES countries as what trots call a "deformed workers' state". That's a fairly hopeless outlook, so the doomerism shouldn't surprise anybody.

In hindsight, :doomjak:
At least if they were right America wouldn’t exist anymore. Now we have hellworld where America continues and the USSR is dead
