That's the next 9/11, right?
Or maybe it will be some atheist libtard who wants to destroy Islam with a retarded false flag nuclear detonation in Israel. You guys seem to think stuff like that is clever. Maybe Jussie Smollett will pay someone to do it.

All we need is a mad leader followed by mad masses to fire a nuke. Shockingly that happened in mere 3 or 4 years.
The age of deterrence had ended. It marked its death with the crazy arm race between the U.S and Russia, the withdraw of the U.S from nuclear treaties, the rise of China and the rise of populism around the world.
It's very probable; almost certain too that the next world war will be the time crazies lead earth into destruction.

The age of deterrence is over, it's the era of crazy fucks leading a herd of other crazy fucks.
If half of them had a consciousness, nukes would've got defused and labeled as a "forbidden weapon". But it's a world of crazy fucks with no consciousness, dignity or even an inch of brain.

Quite frankly, the prospect of biological war worries me more than a nuclear exchange.

I have no respect for that sentence whatsoever. It became a very popular buzz thing to say by dumb people who thought that it sounded intelligent. Being more concerned about biological war than nuclear war is sort of like being more concerned with science fiction than real things. The nuclear bombs actually exist and are proliferating. Biological weapons? Meh. The effective weaponization of them continues to be problematic. And the idea that they could be worse than a nuclear exchange is pretty silly. It's great science fiction to imagine that a weaponized virus can simply be used to infect a few people and then spreads to wipe everyone out. But that's not how diseases work. Sure, as our genetic engineering gets better and better, we might be able to make biological weapons that do formidable things. But we are not really there yet.
In the mean time, nukes are real. Nukes can destroy all life on earth. And trying to sound intelligent by saying that we are more concerned about biological weapons just makes us sound like the dumbest little posers imaginable.

As it should. Biological weapons are much less traceable, and thus are more likely to be used on substantial scale by more agents in the next few decades than nuclear weapons. The scale and sophistication of the weaponization of biological agents by the USSR during the last decade of Cold War was far greater than is commonly realized. Agents were specifically tailored to create symptoms that mimic other natural disease epidemics to confuse response and obscure origin. They were designed to attack in multiple stages, so the victim suffer mild, common symptoms first, appear cured, and then be struck by a second mere severe phase of affliction, so as to maximize the length of disruption the attack causes. Some were specifically designed to be just short of fatal if the victims are provided with prompt, and lengthy I ntensive medical care, so as to maximize panick while tie down as much resources in the the attacked society as possible. These, like German biagent nerve chemical weapons in WWII, caused the western professionals in the field to shit in their pants after discovery. Those biological weapon skills undoubtedly has not been lost in Russia and is extremely likely to have been acquired or surpassed in other countries since the Cold War.
