Some aspects of a nuclear armed world.

I've heard of other close nuclear calls, like when the Russians
has nuclear armed subs near Cuba in the 60s and nearly fired a
few. Only the judgement of an individual or two, saved our history.
Once Iran is nuclear armed, every tinpot dictatorship in the ME
will do the same.

So eventually my prediction might yet sadly come true. The human
race will go down as a species which evolved as intelligent enough
to invent new and interesting things, but not intelligent enough
to use them wisely. The planet could be spinning with little but
ants and cockroaches onboard, too bad about the mammals.

If it make you feel any better I doubt the coming nuclear war will destroy all mammals. It may however destroy our civilisation.

I still think the most likely locus of the next nuclear war will be Saudi Arabia versus Iran.
