Posts from World War III: what are your predictions? Auto-translated

we are still living in the era of scientific and technological progress

Don't you think that in such a case, since it's impossible to conquer by force, some Malevolent Forces could undermine and, ultimately, conquer a country not through military means, but through financial and ideological methods?

Whoever presses the button, they consider themselves one of the world's greatest masochists, on a global scale. There is always a chance of retaliation, and it's not insignificant. Launching a nuclear missile could trigger a conflict that would cause enormous damage to the country that launched it. I don't even need to talk about all the dangers leading to the extinction of humanity. There may be quite a few inadequate people in the government, but there probably aren't too many complete idiots. In general, I think that a nuclear war is not in our near future.

Scientific and technological... regression?

In my opinion, Americans have long been destroying Russia from within with their hamburgers, Coca-Cola, ideology, and the idea of "die young, but happy." It is also possible that some hidden forces have already taken control of the entire world.

Someone who has become disillusioned with people might press the button, for example.

In my opinion, the oil issue is not the most pressing one. Overpopulation is the real evil.

"Might press" – of course, it's a rather vague statement. After all, the decision isn't made by one person, and they won't all suddenly go crazy together. But if some high-ranking politician is overcome by depression caused by disappointment in people... Well, their authority will probably decrease, which means that people are unlikely to listen to the opinion of "pressing the button." That's what I think...

Power to the people!...Give everyone a red button!

"Might push the button" - of course, it's a rather conditional statement. After all, the decision isn't made by one person, and they don't all go crazy together.

Just not that!:smile21: Have you seen how many people, judging by one survey, would like to mess up the world before they die? In my opinion, you can't come up with anything better than a red button:rolleyes:
