They could still win (and lose) in three days. It all depends on who gets the first nuclear strike.
There are enough warheads on both sides that no "first strike" could get all or even most. It's lose/lose any time.
Look, I'm not saying we wouldn't get our hair mussed...
I just watched the British film 'Threads' about a nuclear exchange. Idk, how much nuclear winter will we need to counteract the global heating over the last 50 years?
Nuclear winter doesnt exist so ww3 is not the solution.
It also depends on Russian nukes not being made of cardboard. Or Trump selling him the US arsenal.
The Military Industrial Complex is more powerful than the oligarchy, I'm sure they'll coup before they lose the nukes.
