Nuclear pools

So with Ukraine now moving into/taking Russian land some people may now logically be fearing nuclear war.
I for one think that this is a realistic possibility but may or may not happen.

Of course some people remain adament that it will happen and some people get real pride in knowing that they were right and everyone else was wrong. Now I think actually taking bets on when if at all Nuclear war will occur or the first nuke will go off is not practical.

The simple reason being that if no nukes go off in our lifetime sure depending on time limits the guy who had that in the bets can collect but if I someone who predicts full scale nuclear war is proven right they cant exactly collect can they because currency wont be a thing anymore and communications would be an issue and also people may be dead.

So monetary bets wont make sense here but then there is pride in knowing you were right and everyone else was wrong so with that in mind I guess we just predict when if ever the first nuke will drop and how far nuclear war will go.

Think of it just as the pride I told you so nuclear pools bets I guess.



Now I dont think Nuclear war will happen before January 2025 simply because Putin would want to see if Trump gets in and wait for that for America to pull out of Nato first. Like if he dropped a nuke now its war with all of Nato including the US. if he drops a nuke sometime in 2025 USA may not be involved it makes sense to wait.

I think sadly it is likely Trump will win the US election and pull the USA out of NATO then Russia will go on a vengence run, but I think it will take time for Trump to pull the USA out of NATO so I am predicting June 2025-June 2026 as the period when The nukes start going off unless somehow Kamilla Haris does win in which case I will reasses then as that changes things quite a bit.

    So apparently Russia have threatened to Nuke us again but then they do that every day so not sure that counts for much I would post a link to that article but no point because you can find a relevant article saying Russia threatened to nuke us most likely at any date in the future within the last few days of that date.
