The Russian nuclear functionality debate has been used by pro-war activists to forward the idea that nuclear war is winnable. This Holy Horseshit debate needs to be brought to a swift end. New computer models suggest that a general nuclear war would mean the end of human existence. This is due to fallout distribution in the stratosphere and intern, the contamination of the soil and water.

Everyone loses. The conflict with Ukraine is overtly risking human existence.

That's all anybody needs to know. Most will work.
