You're talking about the end of the world. Pretty much everybody dying. All of the cultural products of our civilization: music, art, history, philosophy, architecture, math, writing... lost... perhaps for all time. For the survivors (if there are any): unimaginable horror and suffering compared to which virtually anything would be better. Most likely most of the survivors will just kill themselves.

It's horror on a scale that's just unimaginable to virtually anyone who hasn't been through a major war.. and it'll be infinitely worse than that.

It's just sheer insanity that we're getting so close to that and some people are just egging us on to total destruction.

One person is egging us on to total destruction, Putin. Who has talked about nukes but him? Everything you listed here except math will also be destroyed and replaced if Russia is successful. You will never know what’s true again.

So if Putin wanted the entire world except China and NK, you’d give it to him to stop from destroying everything?
