Having people like you teaching how to analyze stories like this is WAY more valuable than having people like Musk preventing misinformation from appearing on his platform.

Always interesting to watch your vids Mr. Mcbeth.

Number #3 with "reasons" 1-5 are absurd, always have been. There is only one reason to use a nuke, spite. Using nukes on the country that launched first against you, this out of spite, because why leave their country free of radiation and destruction when they try to glass you?

Normalizing any reason to use a nuke as if a person is talking about a favorite recipe is dangerous. russia does this constantly, it is insane. Eventually "people" the insane ones, think using a nuke for anything, even a reason listed above "Is OK". People have the INSANE notion that bunkers of any depth will save them, that is comic relief in itself. Radiation seepage and contamination is an equal opportunity destroyer.

I would reason that most people have no conceptual idea of the planetary devastation "just a few" modern 100 kiloton nukes, even a limited confrontation would bring. Sure, many have seen youtube channels and other simulated sources of aftermaths, but they have no practical equivalent to base the actual suffering and devastation on as the vast majority have not felt or lived through any disaster that has brought them close to death.

Desensitizing people to nuclear war is a dangerous precedent, and any idiot on social media or some insane dictator like those in russia or north korea that does this needs to be "re-educated" for the safety of the planet. I still find it baffling that idiots post things on social media like the israel nuke theory, and they get off free and clear.
