No but now might be a good time to.
wait what's special about now?
Russia has expressed their right to use nuclear weapons if a nuclear armed power takes a more active role on Ukraine's side of the conflict.
Putin has been saber-rattling this stance since Russia invaded Ukraine which happens to be 1,000 days ago.
I know, but every time there's a new mention of nukes people's ears perk up.
True.
My ears perk up as well because it's nothing to scoff at. I try to ignore it but will occasionally become too entrenched with the idea of nuclear war.
I'll go down a rabbit hole and get sucked into the prepper mindset, watch movies like The Day After and Threads, and ultimately become too anxious and paranoid in day to day life.
I try not to worry about it anymore because it's something that I can't control. Not to dox myself, but I live by a target that will most likely be one of the first hit and I'm at peace with dying.
See, I'm already starting to get sucked back into this paranoia. Haha. Damnit @k00b. :-)
Ukraine has fired non-nuclear ICBM's which can only be operated with the help of US military and US satellites, so Putin has fired one back and had a clear "line in the sand" that nuclear powers entering the war means nuclear is on the table.
They take account of things like prevailing wind patterns and blast radius. I doubt we're actually very near to that, but it's better to be aware than not.
Have you ever looked into the fallout simulators? (not to be confused with the Fallout franchise)
