Yes. This is how 1939 played out as a nation occupation and it kept dragging on and on and many STILL in 1940 refused to believe another world war would emerge which lead to a lot of debates and discussions including spiritual in churches over the ramifications of the Poland invasion. I can't believe how FUCKING BLIND sheeple are on here and elsewhere to the similarities of history repeating itself!!!

Personally I think a lot of nuclear weapons got degraded from lack of use over time and that's why they are not going that route. In fact I'm sure OUR nuclear weapons are no good anymore and we likely ripped these nations off when uranium was sold for political power in the 90s and early 00s. Now when push comes to shove a lot of nations will have bad uranium that doesn't work and they probably did the same here to the US.

The funny thing would be if everyone has ripped off nuclear weapons that are done so we have no choice but to do long term hand to hand combat or air strikes,etc and hope something sticks.

While some technological fuckups are assured if they decide to light the candles, assuming a 100% failure rate is over-simplistic. There are enough of these beasts and there's been enough refits over the years that some portion would function. Given that even with just that "some portion", the effective destruction would be sufficient to confirm the original reason nobody wanted this to happen, this seems a moot point to me. Well, nobody wants this to happen except the psychos.

The scary thing is that we now have people in charge who are publicly and proudly telling us that men are women and women are men. By the time someone has rejected universal reality to this level, destroying everything in a nuclear holocaust ceases to be so shocking. These people are truly fucked in the head beyond even the level that we can assume they have a natural instinct to survive. Do they really want to survive? I'm no longer convinced they care very much.

As long as the weapons are maintained and other components are cycled out including the Tritium, they're fine. https://www.quora.com/Do-nuclear-weapons-degrade-over-time-and-eventually-become-unusable

I have seen a lot of similarities between the 1920's to 1930's and the past decade. Things can change in a matter of weeks and months. I see a more unified World than back then, though.
