Already taken down.
ATACMS is not a declared nuclear capable system according to the bilateral and multilateral treaties either country is a part of. Also, remind me what happened to the INF treaty again?
The fact that you have a nuclear first use doctrine does not mean use of nuclear weapons is justified in any scenario. You have offered no justifications.
This has been common practice at universities all over the globe at least since the turn of the millennium.
What do you want exactly? Your post does not seem to contain an actual question besides “So… any ideas?”
Besides, the original definition is not reflective of real world needs - which is why it’s morphed to something else.
This is all very “old man yells at cloud”.
Interesting historical note, but things change.
There will never be a Disco Elysium 2, or even a true “spiritual successor”.
That’s ok. We got a great game. That will have to be enough.

“Spokesperson, issue more empty threats! Surely this time they will finally take me seriously!”
Interesting timing to do that when Ukraine, Germany and Russia have been gearing up to negotiate an end to the war next year
Threatening nuclear war under these circumstances is definitely an interesting timing.
If Russia starts nuking shit, wouldn’t Russia be starting ww3?
Or are we supposed to just accept the implication that only western countries have agency?
Russia: if NOTICE ME SENPAI was a country.
Your contributions to this thread seem to be very grievance-focused. In the context of this topic, that seems relevant.
Is it something you wish to discuss?
Honestly, I’m not sure it’s a matter of persuasion. It’s a personal growth impairment they will have to resolve for themselves.

Big loss. Laura is one the best science communicators in the planet.
