We often talk about less important things because to talk about the most important things would be too emotionally overwhelming. That’s why we don’t having the conversations we need to be having about how to create peace; to do so, we would have to face the harsh realities of war

The biggest problem with our lack of emotional sobriety on the topic of war is that the financial interests of warmongers are served by our denial and distractedness. Who will reap the karma there - just them, or will it not be all of us?

Case in point: the US Air Force has ordered 100 B21 raiders, a bomber that costs $560M each and drops nuclear as well as conventional bombs. 5 of those and it’s over for civilization as we know it, 10 and it’s over for the species. So obviously we do not need 100 of those planes.

If the planet detonated all of it's nuclear bombs at once in an effort to strategically end humanity, millions or possibly billions of people would survive regardless. The US has "dropped" 1,000+ nukes without directly harming anyone.

This is fear-mongering. Presidential candidates should be more knowledgeable about the capability of nuclear weapons. The weapons that exist today do much less damage than you believe, and that is why so many are necessary, see for yourself: nuclearsecrecy.com/nukemap/
