    I am so so so expecting a nuclear exchange in or around the middle east witin 12 months - possibly after a “dirty nuke” attempt somewhere.

    I am clutching at straws to even excuse this out of my top 3 worst case black swans.

    only positive news is that nuclear winter will sure fix up that global warming thing real good.

        I mean Iran doesn’t have nuclear weapons but they do have a nuclear program and it’s very easy to go from there to nukes. Correct me if I’m wrong but AFAIK the principle behind nukes is pretty simple and it’s modern geopolitics that makes them hard to get.

        more than a few actors may (likely?) have very low yield devices. only takes a few to panic people and governments into stupid actions.
