That’s an argument I don’t agree with. I believe the perceived risks of nuclear fallout is negligible in most cases.
Comment on Should South Korea launch a preemptive attack on North Korea?

One would think that out of all countries, South Korea should be the least worried about North Korean nuclear attack. They’re next door neighbors a handful of miles apart from each other geographically, and wind exists to carry fallout right back to Kim Jong Un’s house.
Same reasons it always seems so odd whenever Russia threatens to nuke Ukraine.

Depends on bomb type, but Ukraines and russias region is gigantic compared to the region affected by bomb fallout.
If it wouldn’t be so bad for the wildlife, it would be a decent strategy for Ukraine to dirty bomb along the whole border to russia, so crossing it by land would mean cetain death within a week. It could even be on Ukraines side to demonstrate it’s a defensive measure. Dirty bombs are less difgicult to make and Ukraine has a lot of experience dealing with radioactive contamination, too.

You would also shit 50 big piled along your own garden fence just to keep the neighbor’s cat out?

If the neighbours cat is killing my children every day, I absolutely would.

North Korea nukes Japan. Japan: wtf again? We didn’t even do anything.
But in all seriousness, Seoul would be nuked.
