In a classified document approved in March, the president ordered U.S. forces to prepare for possible coordinated nuclear confrontations with Russia, China and North Korea.
The shift comes as the Pentagon believes China’s stockpiles will rival the size and diversity of the United States’ and Russia’s over the next decade.
except much newer and probably likely to function if you start launching yours dipshit
Unfortunately it probably doesn’t take many to start nuclear winter but how much responsibility do the networks of contractors and oligarchs scamming public funds hand over fist in every other area possibly take for stockpile maintenance? the things that end the world if used?
it really would be divine comedy if US tried to start a nuclear war and their nukes ended up failing to launch due to lack of maintenance and skills needed to keep them operational
Probably best case scenario as I struggle to see them not starting nuclear war. I mean, in practice they only have a 50% hit rate. Two in Japan and one in Spain. And the ones in Japan were fresh.
One of the reasons those cities were chosen for testing the bombs is because they had city centers with reinforced concrete structures / industrial areas as well as traditional wooden structures outside the center.
We have volcanic winter as an example of how nuclear winter will look. Good thing is it would last at most a couple of year. Bad thing is that a lot of people would starve in those couple of years. Radiation damage would be pretty limited and localized compared to agriculture disruption due to nuclear winter.

Who’s to say it hasn’t happened already?
as I recall two out of three recent launch tests did fail, so…
