> The reality is that any amount of nuclear war is the end of humanity

One of the more absurd myths still going. It's not remotely close to being true.

You could detonate all the globe's nuclear weapons simultaneously within the territory of Texas and you'd fail to kill everyone in Texas. It's also not an argument that nuclear war is acceptable obviously. Pretending humanity and or civilization will cease due to nuclear war is very outlandish.

We detonated five hundred nuclear weapons above ground over half a century, and two thousand total. You could nuke the biggest 100 cities and humanity would pick itself up and promptly keep going.
