Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

maybe the creation of the film “Mean Creek” starring Josh Peck /s Fr tho my answer is Humans discovering nuclear weapons. Ik ik, it’s good for preventing escalation but I genuinely think nuclear weapons will be humanity’s downfall. Fact check me if I’m wrong but I heard that 3 or more nuclear ICBMs hitting Earth at the same time could literally pull us off balance and we could all freeze or burn to death in seconds. NO battle is worth that. The class struggle dies the second that we all do. Global capitalist interests and all the natural resources and markets and money on our planet, the things that we have fought over and died for and propagandized and coerced and did so many horrid things for as humans, it will all have been for nothing. Obviously de-nuclearization is not overnight, but people need to keep in mind that too many escalations or mistakes could lead to the end of everything we know. Vasili Arkhipov is one of the greatest people to ever exist. There was a false alarm on Soviet scanners of missiles coming their way in the height of the Cuban missile crisis, Officer Arkhipov denied the request to fire missiles back. Arkhipov likely saved a large portion of Earth’s population that day, possibly all of Earth’s inhabitants.

There were already over 2400 tests of nuclear weapons. A few more won't make any difference.
