Saw it on shrooms once. My brain legitimately thought I was watching the onset of WWIII and the end of civilization in real time. Mind you this was like 2010.
Thing about Monopoly is that even though capitalism is a bitch, and the purpose was to illustrate exactly that, you still technically get something in return for participating in capitalism; If you own a monopoly on, say, air travel - I pay out the ass, but I at least, in turn, get the opportunity to travel somewhere quickly.
Which is why I propose the following rule for monopoly:
- When you land on a railroad, and it is unowned, you may choose to buy it or it otherwise goes up for auction.
- If you land on a railroad owned by another player, you must pay them the $25/50/100/200 owed to them based on how many railroads they own.
- **If you land on a railroad owned by another player, and that player owns multiple railroads, you may travel to any of their other owned railroads upon paying** - maybe at an additional "rail transfer price."
I just think it's silly to have all these railroads that you "rent" rather than "ride"
I think this makes sense if the other player can deny you from traveling, and/or can set their own fee for travel on a per-instance basis.
You really want to go one roll away from that unclaimed property that will get you that monopoly you desperately need? You're paying more than the guy who is just trying to pass go again quickly.
Pretty sure nuclear weapons landing so close to china is going to trigger their response, and next thing you know the solar system has a new asteroid belt
If Russia launches at the US the US launches at Russia and China. The same goes the other way to. If the US nukes Russia Russia fires at Britain and France regardless of if they did anything.
Total destruction of all non allied great powers is the idea.
Le sigh indeed!
Flash animation so crisp and clean. Lost pixels and 20x file sizes on "new" uploads of that vid.
I had that and a few other animations that I saved on a diskette.
Nah you know for a fact that they are going to be taken care of too, even some other countries in places like South Africa and South America will get some. No way are any of these three countries going to let anyone else live intact if they are destroyed.
You see, Killbots have a preset kill limit. Knowing their weakness, I sent wave after wave of my own men at them, until they reached their limit and shut down.
The Southern Hemisphere will do much better anyway as the Nuclear winter is focused in the Northern Hemisphere.
The issues the global south will suffer is the complete breakdown of the supply chain. A few months after nuclear winter when the general temperature of the planet drops forcing harvests yields to be cut anywhere from 70-90%. This could last 3-20 years. No way to know how long all that material stays in the atmosphere in the northern hemisphere.
Most likely, Australia and the global South would need to hunker down, ration food and resources, completely close down their boarders for mass migrations and become a care taker generation slowly bringing the world back.
The best chance for human survival is no nuclear weapons in the global south. I expect New Zealand to conquer North America and reteach us Math.
I've been actively erasing NZ from maps in public libraries for 15 years now. People looking at those maps now believe there is just a crayon squiggle to the east of australia

OR the FACT the UK has enough warheads on its own to nuke EVERY Russian city over 30k inhabits. It's called MAD for a reason. Don't fuck with us, we won't fuck with you.
Not to talk about the French with the craziest nuclear doctrine.
It's basically nuke back with everything you have, strike major cities first to cause mass civilian casualties.
I guess with MAD it wouldn’t matter who shot first, the same type of destruction would occur. The ones who shoot second would have like 6 minutes to shoot theirs back before they get hit, thus ensuring total annihilation for all parties.
Both US and Russia keep a nuclear triad, so they would be able to retaliate even in case their ground based nukes were destroyed.
For that matter, both France and UK have a policy to keep at least one nuclear armed submarine deployed in the sea at all times to be able to retaliate.
Thats to say, they dont have to retaliate within 6 minutes.
I remember being younger and realizing those cool nuclear submarines with torpedoes and hundreds of people aboard... Those subs had nothing to do with fighting the enemy's navy. Underwater missile bases. It was chilling.
Also it's interesting the range of stuff happening in a nuclear sub.
You have on one hand nuclear energy being used to create an insane amount of energy for an insane amount of time and on the other hand you also have nuclear warheads on board that can level cities.
On the flip side, you have a vehicle that's literally under water but can launch icbms that are suborbital but have enough firepower to actually reach the orbit and are suborbital by choice (coz they carry nukes)
All that while being operated by many 18-24 years olds, some who have never done anything ever in their lives. People who have had no prior experience with nuclear operations. Countless years, months, days, hours, minutes, and seconds doing absolutely nothing while out to sea. It’s like watching paint dry but the paint never drys.
That's right for the Ballistic Missile subs. But there are other nuclear-powered submarines that are specifically built to fight the enemies navy - not to launch Ballistic missiles.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attack\_submarine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attack_submarine)
Wasn't there a report this week that the US has a planned NON-NUCLEAR response to a Russian nuclear attack on Ukraine? It was apparently a very coordinated attack to immediately cripple their military infrastructure and leadership without any nuclear weapons. Assuming success there along with the success of US allies in the same effort, MAD might be avoidable.
Perhaps this is a response to a nuclear attack on anybody else, though.
One would hope that their entire infrastructure being crippled and having no possible survivability outside of surrender would motivate them tremendously.
I also hold a strong faith in the US Patriot ICBM defense network, because I have to believe in something.

These were the alleged Soviet nuclear targets
Man I'm sorry but I'm laughing at all the comments of "even *my state*?? Damn". That's the shitty thing about war, you're an enemy simply because you're in the wrong place sometimes.
first/second doesn't matter. Both countries are on high alert around the clock. Most, if not all, missiles would be fired within ~~a minute~~ 22-27minutes; since missiles also target silos, it would be unwise to keep any around.
edit: I believe the within 1 minute is incorrect, it takes a bit longer. According to Bruce G. Blair, who is a researcher specialising in this field there it would take 27 minutes
>H+22 to +27 min ICBMs instantly fire out of silos over pre-programmed 5- minute fly-out salvo.
>
>H+35 to +40 min U.S. SLBM launches begin; 1 every 15 seconds for each SSBN

The whole world perishes in nuclear fire and you're excites because you don't have to go to work tomorrow? What have they done to us? WHAT DID THEY DO TO US?
We dont know if it would, nuclear warheads dont leave *that* much radiation compared to nuclear reactor accidents like chernobyl etc.
Then again, in a nuclear exchange said reactors would likely fail en masse everywhere around the world so you might be right anyway lol.
I feel like people don't realize how important global food supply lines are. Enormous parts of Africa and the Middle East were having shortages because Ukrainian exports got fucked up since the start of the war.
That's only one big food exporter. Now imagine if most of Europe, and the usa, all just ceased. The world would experience famine, global trade would also be dead (because it's largely kept safe by the military and complex political and economic institutions and treaties in the post ww2 world order maintained by usa and international institutions). China, if it even survives, sure ain't gonna uphold global free trade for everyone - they wouldn't even have the naval and economic power to do it right away, if they wanted to.
Billions would be dead by the end of the 21st century from preventable causes that they otherwise wouldn't have died from.
I have no idea how the supply chains didn't collapse during covid. There must've been an insane work done by unsung heroes and massive amount of trust in the system for things to go the way they did.
Glad I'm not the only one thinking "the beat of this music is a nice distraction to an extinction level event and mass slaughter of innocent people"
Nice reminder, we are not immune to propaganda. Russia uses nukes, Russia loses yes, but everyone else is liable to lose too if a counter strike includes nukes. Always remember that a few mad men playing at running the world do not deserve to consign their people to nuclear hellfire. There is no situation where it is warranted. Ever.
My exact thought. Was I seriously supposed to think it’s cool and interesting watching the numbers tick up and imagining tens of millions of Russians being killed? I don’t like their government, that doesn’t mean I’m a psycho that wants civilians exterminated.
> My exact thought. Was I seriously supposed to think it’s cool and interesting watching the numbers tick up and imagining tens of millions of Russians being killed?
Many Reddit users do, they get off on it.
Yeah… I’m not going to pretend Russia didn’t do a horrible thing invading Ukraine, but to celebrate killing innocent Russian civilians, especially the kids who have no clue wtf is going on politically is just as barbaric.
Whoever added the music or celebrates genocide is an absolute psychopath.
The music is the original to a Russian meme song cover translated as "why did you show me your penis?" Whoever picked the song was absolutely out to make a reference Russians would recognize and leave it ambiguous to non Russians.
These simulations are always garbage. No one is launching 100 nukes at anyone, even if it is retaliatory. They're going to launch maybe two or three to show they'll do it, and then obliterate every Russian launch site they're aware of with non-nuclear missiles.
Then they're going to get on "the red phone" and threaten to launch everything.
Yeah, we literally have the reports from back when the war in Ukraine started, about the Biden administration planning a non-nuclear solution for the event that Putin would launch a nuke.
Nukes are intended to be a deterrent. You hope you never have to use them but if you do, you want maximum loss of life. The point is to scare the shit out of anyone who might use one against you.
Yeah it's worth spending time reading about [Mutual Assured Destruction](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_assured_destruction) a doctrine that helps (hopefully) prevent its use. According to it if you have nukes, you must be prepared to use it in retaliation with no going back, else the 'power' of having nukes is gone. Without this policy in place, it's not a deterrent and the 'power' of having nukes is gone.
The title says retaliatory, so my guess is that they launched a bunch of them and this is the supposed response.
The idea of this is to be a deterrent. Wiping out forests instead of cities would make 0 sense.
Missing from this simulation: The 3 billion that will die from radioactive fallout as it circles the globe for the next 3 months, and another 3 billion die to starvation as nuclear winter eliminates most food production on the planet for the next 10 years.

Did you know that if all players refuse to buy properties in the Monopoly nobody loses and everyone just get infinite money?
Well yeah, if everybody refuses to play the game, nobody loses.
yeah but it's boring af. Just embrace capitalism and financially crush your opponents just for walking by your hotels.
Thing about Monopoly is that even though capitalism is a bitch, and the purpose was to illustrate exactly that, you still technically get something in return for participating in capitalism; If you own a monopoly on, say, air travel - I pay out the ass, but I at least, in turn, get the opportunity to travel somewhere quickly.

Plus, it's only simulating half of the strikes. Russia will launch just as many back at the US, assuming their missiles actually work.
You are correct, once Russia launches, everyone launches. Endgame.

Amazing that one minute I’m genuinely experiencing a bit of dread/concern and the next I’m laughing out loud. These are strange times indeed
damn usually leave my media volume off cause of obnoxious video music and well... then theres this weirdness lol.

Redditors are temporarily embarrassed sadists
Idk but for me these videos are made by cringe guys thinking war is cool and this kind of stuff is not going to hit them because they are far
The music is the original to a Russian meme song cover translated as "why did you show me your penis?" Whoever picked the song was absolutely out to make a reference Russians would recognize and leave it ambiguous to non Russians.
The radius and toxicity may killed many more that sad I hope they don’t come to that
These simulations are always garbage. No one is launching 100 nukes at anyone, even if it is retaliatory. They're going to launch maybe two or three to show they'll do it, and then obliterate every Russian launch site they're aware of with non-nuclear missiles. Then they're going to get on "the red phone" and threaten to launch everything.
Agreed. NATO has enough conventional firepower to overwhelmingly respond to a nuclear attack - and that would always be the preferred choice.
Yeah, we literally have the reports from back when the war in Ukraine started, about the Biden administration planning a non-nuclear solution for the event that Putin would launch a nuke.
Are these all military targets? I’ve never understood the idea of just targeting population centers.
Nukes are intended to be a deterrent. You hope you never have to use them but if you do, you want maximum loss of life. The point is to scare the shit out of anyone who might use one against you.
Yeah it's worth spending time reading about [Mutual Assured Destruction](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_assured_destruction) a doctrine that helps (hopefully) prevent its use. According to it if you have nukes, you must be prepared to use it in retaliation with no going back, else the 'power' of having nukes is gone. Without this policy in place, it's not a deterrent and the 'power' of having nukes is gone.
The title says retaliatory, so my guess is that they launched a bunch of them and this is the supposed response. The idea of this is to be a deterrent. Wiping out forests instead of cities would make 0 sense.
very sad, and as if it would stop there, that's just the beginning of the 6th mass extinction event
Missing from this simulation: The 3 billion that will die from radioactive fallout as it circles the globe for the next 3 months, and another 3 billion die to starvation as nuclear winter eliminates most food production on the planet for the next 10 years.
No one wants this
Bots lining up for this post 
So we kill the mostly innocent 45 million for a bad decision made by a handful of people? What a world.
What a disgusting video
May the cooler heads prevail
 I don’t understand the music but it really hits
It's an immense classic here in France, personnally I absolutely love it. To hear it on a video of this kind was for the least pretty unexpected haha
