Comment on Should Germany aquire nuclear weapons?

  I don’t like the idea being part of a country that could kill thousands or even millions of people at once.

    Any country is able to do that through conventional weapons though.

    Well, no, but I’d rather be in the position of the stick holder than the potential pointy end receiver.

      Nuclear war is not a stuck battle, it's a knife fight. You'll both end up bleeding out. Best thing you can do is to not fucking participate.

      People should watch Doctor Strangelove as a fucking case study.

        What if that’s not an option? It could for sure be rational for a violent actor to force it’s will on a non-voilent one. One only needs one rotten apple and the Nash equilibrium dissolves.

        No, that’s not the case anymore. Modern anti-air missile systems can take care of nukes.

        It’s not a knife fight, it’s a “who can spend more money” fight to the death.
