A large nuclear war would be much worse than any depression

But it won't happen It is impossible because of technological and political reasons.

There are political barriers, and they are substantial, but that does not mean the barriers can't be surmounted if humanity decides to be stupid all at once.

Europe is not going to be stupid enough to defend Ukraine from Putin,

and Putin is not going to be stupid enough to try to take a NATO country.

NATO soldiers will not engage in direct military conflict with Russian soldiers, but the West is going to give lots of aid to Kiev, and that may well expand to include military equipment and even weapons.

I've recommended that NATO present a strong defense in order to deter Putin from such aggression. However the anti-war creeps always pounce on me for doing so. Perhaps they want a nuclear war.

It's not impossible. There are no technological barriers.

You can't just randomly drop atomic bombs, just won't work.

Einstein has been reincarnated.

Strange reaction.

Not really, you stated the obvious, something everyone has known since the first bomb was dropped.

To detonate an atomic bomb, it can only be done at specific places at specific locations, and with a certain configuration with regards to the earth and the sun.

What brand of bullshit is it that?

Jesus H. Christ...Q has finally caused me to agree with you, coldjoint.

There is no justice on the Internet.

There are. You can't use an atomb bomb on any spot on the earth and there is even more to it. Because there are only certain spots you can calculate, years in advance, were the bomb is going to explode.

And because of that, a completely full blown atomic bomb war is impossible, because where an atomic bomb can explode can be calculated years and years before it can happen.

no they will not, it would not change the outcome and it would piss Russia and China off. The Ukrainians are not smart enough or organized enough to use military aid effectively.

We would defend most of the nations in the region but despite all of the chatter nobody cares much about Ukraine. THe Ukrainians best accept this fact and sit down to get the best deal they can from Russia.
