So it's actually happening...
I am so so so expecting a nuclear exchange in or around the middle east witin 12 months - possibly after a "dirty nuke" attempt somewhere.
I am clutching at straws to even excuse this out of my top 3 worst case black swans.
only positive news is that nuclear winter will sure fix up that global warming thing real good.
There won't be an exchange; only Israel has nukes; it'll just be genocide in a different location
I think the concern is that some group will launch a dirty bomb at Israel, Israel will retaliate with nukes, and then the best case scenario is 'only' thousands dying. Oh, and did I mention that a dirty bomb can make a pretty large area uninhabitable for decades?
