            To be fair, Kim Jong Un could easily an order, what he thinks is a limited response to South Korea fucking around, which they’ve been doing, which would lead to a somewhat automatic chain of events that could end all life on Earth in nuclear hellfire. And this all could happen in less than 30 minutes.

              And Putin could nuke Ukraine or invade Eastern Europe, leading to nuclear hellfire.

              Russia is without a doubt a bigger and more realistic threat compared to NK.

                Putin could end the world, yes. But that would be a deliberate choice to end the world.

                And the scenario I hinted at does require Russian nukes, but it doesn’t require a North Korean nuke to start things. A conventional missile on the wrong trajectory is more than enough.

              Putin has already done that and the chain of events are rolling. Which have lead to currently around 1 million dead Europeans, and counting.

                Putin would play a part in the scenario. he has recently reiterated that Russian nukes are still Launch on Warning.

                But there’s A difference between a monster waging a war of naked aggression and the end of all life on Earth due to a system built by lunatics and monsters in the 1950s.
