    I doubt any country in this era would dare to use nuclear weapons because Europe has enough nukes to end all of those countries as well. Economic warfare and traditional warfare is more likely than an apocalyptic event that would end a very large chunk of human life on earth.

      those countries are ending anyway so not an argument

      Economic warfare and traditional warfare

      the economics of half your continent turning into an oven

      the leaders basically all know this and that’s why they’ve tacitly agreed to let a bunch of 3rd world people in. And why Modi and Xi are content to let 10 guys brawl it out in Ladakh instead of doing anything real

        Still, what leader is willing to publicly kill 95% of their population in a day so a small, random minority can live in the North. This type of war is a lose-lose situation for all parties.

        While nuclear winter is worse for the Northern hemisphere, we would be seeing 16C air temperature changes, which is significantly worse than the 3-4C of expected climate change.

          Basically any leader elected by hundreds of millions of angry 3rd world people, lol (hot weather also makes people even angrier, scientifically confirmed)

          It is not. They were going to lose anyway
