Speaking years later in 2024 the only controversy is the fact that "International law" is bogus Nations are still developing nukes and Russia threatens to use them now President Alzheimers just allowed Ukraine to use ATACMS to attack targets inside Russia (a line the Asshole in Russia declared was the line said in his pee brain represented NATO "involvement" in the war. Hopefully nothing comes of it otherwise see you all in the wasteland. or the afterlife.
Before I found this mod, I had no idea a "No Nukes" treaty was a thing that existed. As a lover of history, I thank you for the education, and God bless you.
I like it how people who are in favor of nuclear weapons existing have the gall to complain when they’re called out by the mod author. On a page dedicated to a game about the horrors of nuclear, no less.
If anything, the mod author is extremely patient and nice to you scum. Despite that, you even have the audacity to talk back like you have a leg to stand on, morally speaking.
I’m sorry, but you don’t deserve even a shred of respect for even suggesting that nuclear weapons are okay in any way, shape, or form.
Nuclear weapons have prevented another major World War from happening. In the last one, my country, Poland, lost 20% of its people. Yes, you read that right - 20% of all Polish citizens died. Since development of nuclear weapons, and their one use, the only conflicts were proxy ones or in small scale.
I've lived under the Iron Curtain as a child, I remember Soviet tank divisions poised to strike at the West - and the Western ones. Without nuclear weapons existing, we'd have a war to end all wars. The only thing that stopped that from happening was the threat of mutual nuclear annihilation. So please spare me your moral outrage, and think for a moment. Think of all the tens of millions of people who were spared death, being maimed or ruined.
Or perhaps humanity doesn’t want to start another world war because war kinda sucks? You know, it’s nice buying stuff from China and iPhones from the US. Just a thought.
You think this prevented World War III in the 50s or 60s or 70s or 80s? Reportedly when Stalin got told about Hiroshima and Nagasaki, he sat alone in silence for a long, long time... he knew that if he attacked the West, it would end very badly. The USSR had conventional army advantage in Europe - the only deterrence was nuclear missiles and mutual destruction, not your China production and iPhones, which were nonexistent then. I've seen Warsaw Pact armies from very, very near.
And you're preventing war aggressively campaigning against a sentiment that 'war sucks' on a video game mod? No you're being a wet blanket, this is a strange way of saying "thank you for sharing with me" or at the very least passing by with your own opinions if it is not for you. I wouldn't even respond to your invitation to argue except for that this is my mod I'm responsible for curating.
Kindly go find something you like that someone has shared with you here and thank them for making it.
Perhaps nuclear weapons did play a role in stopping the war earlier, but that just goes to show what a horrible time period that was, if anything. That being said, I’m not concerned with what happened over 50 years ago; I’m concerned about today and tomorrow.
And since you chose to mock my examples of global commercial trade, I’ll keep it formal for you: what prevents wars is prosperity. You don’t arm the police to the teeth to fight crime; you arm the people with education, opportunities, social services, mental health support etc. Likewise, you don’t hold a weapon that can absolutely devastate our species over our heads to prevent war; you create wealth, establish trade, improve quality of life, promote critical thinking and education etc.
I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you don’t know what a nuclear blast is really like. Please study what effects just a single nuclear blast can have. Read about all the horrid details, about the suffering it would bring. Please explore all the horrible ways one can die from such an event and keep in mind that no help could ever arrive in time. Also keep in mind that it only takes just a small portion of the world’s arsenal to cause a nuclear winter. Even a one sided assault will cause it. Billions die of famine in the following years.
After you’ve educated yourself on the matter, you ought to have changed your mind. If not, then you are deservedly scum.
Nice mod, although I don't support banning nuclear weapons. Instead I think every country should have at least one... I also don't like the ban on several political mods, including the German ww2 uniforms (Why ? Why can't we fight against nazi raiders?) The Nexus became something it shouldn't have, and that's a strictly moderated platform regarding political stuff...
I believe the commentor was complimenting your skill and craftsmanship in creating the mod, in spite of his disagreements with your socio-political position.
International law is more of a spook than domestic law. It doesn't exist outside of the minds of those who signed the paper. Also, congrats, you made the lords of google give me an advertisement for a film that came out in 1964. Thank you, I love Dr. Strangelove. good mod tho
>I'm not sure that this treaty will prove useful beyond more than a symbolic pat on the back for its signatories. Prior nuclear non-proliferation treaties have historically failed to prevent nuclear proliferation, instead only encouraging those who signed it to continue their armament in secret.
>"ummm... woooow looks like SOMEONES a negative nancy :)))"
If you're going to make a comment on something as complicated as literal geopolitics, you can't get upset when people think about that comment realistically.
more sarcasm? I don't care who disagrees, people that don't like it can walk on by. People that see any available open textbox in other peoples space as a good place to plant their soapbox are what the issue is here, will you keep being a jerk till the comments get closed so I can't get the rare occasional thanks? Probably... Will I keep trying to get some enjoyment until that happens... definitely.

Also, nukes are a menace. Its like the core message of this game. IDK why this is so controversial.
