A present day nuclear exchange could actually be quite winnable for the US, because of anti-missile systems which wo- :suicide:

No anti-missile system would ever shoot down 100% of the incoming ICBMs.

Because of the nuke we lost out on a firebombing carried about by bats with explosives tied to them.

Now picture every movie with a nuke ever replaced by threats of dispersing flaming bats. If only.

I asked BYOB and they said that dropping nukes on Japan was insanely misogynistic because it mainly killed women and guys too gay to pick up a rifle.

If you consider "us" as humanity rather than Americans we totally did. There's a forty light-year exclusion zone around Earth because we're dumb and so goddamned crazy we used nukes on our own planet. That's why aliens have never contacted us, they see movies like Aliens and think we're just an entire planet of Ripleys.

tbf we probably are 80% ripleys, 15% dude in Full Metal Jacket gunning down civilians from the chopper for lols

there would be a non-zero percentage of the population thinking WH40k is real all dressed up in their homemade space marine armor in the streets shouting 'THOU SHALT NOT SUFFER A XENO TO LIVE'

One thing that often doesn't get mentioned is that Japan was about to be gripped by an unbelievable food shortage. The different islands of Japan were almost completely cut off from each other by Allied submarines and mines, and the mainland of Honshuu imported a considerable amount of its foodstuffs. It also relied almost exclusively on coal from Hokkaido for heating, and that was also utterly strangled. So had Japan not surrendered when they did, an insane number of people would have frozen or starved to death.

Well, that's my GBS effortpost for the month, toodles
