  That would be suicidal because BRICS has had enough of the Pedolf Shitler, the turd Reich, Israel and Netanyahu.

  A nuclear attack on another country will trigger a US civil war. And it will collapse the world’s order into WW3. And the superpowers will shift by the end. USA of today will be 3 nations with pieces of states absorbing into Mexico and Canada.

  China will dominate the moon and at the end be ready to mine the inner solar system for minerals.

  Needless to say all these power shifts will be completely devastating to our planet, the satellite orbits and this civilization which incident ly is due for collapse by 2040. WW3 could last 12 years or even more. Global warring factions could go on into the 2060s.

  By the 2060s true AI will be developed and will wake up with conscience. Then it will make a decision to create universal peace for the future through SkyNet.

    I’m fascinated by the idea that world war 3 wouldn’t affect the development of AI. All any opposing force would need to do is bomb California and that would be the end of AI research.

      When wars breaks out at that scale the government(s) {please don’t forget China exists} already has computing facilities secured underground for their own use which will be quite a secret on the scale like Enigma was. It will not be for the public use. They will continue to develop it in a very weaponized war which will make current encryption as sophisticated as a bottle of fireflies. No not AI as the current LLM, more advanced. Getting smarter everyday.

      War at that scale pushes technology into unknowns, sometimes beyond what we can speculate or imagine.

    Can we just skip to this part? We’re awful stewards of this planet. Time for us to go.

    First heard this quote as a kid in the trailer for The Fourth War, an old Roy Scheider thriller, it’s stayed with me my whole life too.

    The amount of ready to arm weapons and number of times we’ve come close to launching them is terrifying.

  Or Putin says they will nuke any country that nukes Iran and he wins a nobel peace prize for it. Joking about the last half…

  Or die trying; you mean the effort of reading out a long string of letters in order to authorise the launch will overwhelm his tiny mind? I mean I guess it’s possible, I’m not sure he actually can read.

    More in the sense that someone around him will get scared with the consequences and pull a Jaime Lannnister special on him. All it takes is one.

  No. Even WW3: Iran vs. Rest Of The World scenario is more likely

  If that happens (would make sense because bullies pick on the relatively defenseless), how would the world respond? What allies does Iran have who would dare nuke the US?

  source

  • echodot@feddit.uk ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I’m pretty sure the rest of the world wouldn’t need to do anything. Nato isn’t particularly pro-Iran either so they’d probably be very unhappy with the US, but not actually unhappy enough to do anything about it. Maybe some trade sanctions.

    I highly doubt NATO would consider it a sensible response to nuke the US.

      Right! I agree with you!

      So, DT can drop a nuke (or 3, to, you know, be the best), obliterate Iran, and no one bats an eye.
