I mean, I heard this level of fear around nukes, and I'm glad they have regulations and I think regs should be on any weapon, but the situation you lay out just seems like sensationalism and I don't see how it's different than other weapons of mass destruction.

And we haven't had total war like you're describing since WWII - and at the time it couldn't be handled, no one knew what to do about nukes, or chain guns, or tanks. War is a never ending series of escalations that we're never ready for and our lack of preparedness pushes us to new escalations.

I get that it's scary but it seems like fear mongering.

But, if it's not, what's the suggestion to stop the world from ending?
