Reuters: Russia, China, Britain, U.S. and France say no one can win nuclear war
MOSCOW/WASHINGTON (Reuters) -China, Russia, Britain, the United States and France have agreed that a further spread of nuclear arms and a nuclear war should be avoided, according to a joint statement by the five nuclear powers published by the Kremlin on Monday.
It said that the five countries - which are the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council - consider it their primary responsibility to avoid war between the nuclear states and to reduce strategic risks, while aiming to work with all countries to create an atmosphere of security.
"We affirm that a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought," the English-language version of the statement read.

ReplyDeleteYes. All the wars had the same nice meaning....unfortunately.
With hypersonic nukes, accidental nuclear war is likely. No one has time to think. Launch fast or lose yout land based missile silos, airforce & navy bases. Keep ducking 🙈
ReplyDeleteMore probable than an all out nuclear exchange is a limited nuclear strike consisting of 3-4 nukes detonated a mile above the targeted nation. The resulting EMP will shut down all electrical machinery and will send the targeted nation back onto the stone ago. Over the course of a year, 90% of the population will die. Russia might consider such an attack on the USA, especially if the USA persists in its course in Ukraine. The only ones surviving are those living on farms, etc, Now will the nation attacked in such a fashion respond with a massive retaliatory strike?
