WarGames, the 1983 American Cold War science fiction techno-thriller

2023 will be the 40th anniversary since the release of the WarGames movie. Now the world might be on the verge of a global scale conflagration, if things aren't peacefully resolved.

https://www.wired.com/2008/07/ff-wargames , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WarGames#Plot 

Release dates
  • May 7, 1983 (Cannes)
  • June 3, 1983 (United States)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WarGames#Influence , https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/wargames

So a few months after the wide release of the WarGames movie, a potentially serious situation arose.

"On 26 September 1983, during the Cold War, the nuclear early-warning radar of the Soviet Union reported the launch of one intercontinental ballistic missile with four more missiles behind it, from bases in the United States. These missile attack warnings were suspected to be false alarms by Stanislav Petrov, an officer of the Soviet Air Defence Forces on duty at the command center of the early-warning system. He decided to wait for corroborating evidence—of which none arrived—rather than immediately relaying the warning up the chain-of-command. This decision is seen as having prevented a retaliatory nuclear attack against the United States and its NATO allies, which would likely have resulted in an escalation to a full-scale nuclear war. Investigation of the satellite warning system later determined that the system had indeed malfunctioned." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_Soviet_nuclear_false_alarm_incident

UN chief met with Putin to bridge differences with Russia over its actions in Ukraine

At a certain point, both sides must meet with a mediator. Otherwise, the risk of things getting out of control become more possible.

Ukraine war: Could Russia use tactical nuclear weapons? https://www.bbc.com/news/world-60664169


"Any conflict with a nuclear power like Russia carries the risk that nuclear weapons could be used,..."  

"However, as long as NATO does not inter­vene directly in Ukraine and the Russian regime does not feel existentially threatened, both intentional and unintentional nuclear use remain extremely unlikely. Never­theless, Moscow’s nuclear threats still entail significant negative consequences." https://www.swp-berlin.org/en/publication/russias-nuclear-threats-in-the-war-against-ukraine

Humanity’s just one misunderstanding away from ‘nuclear annihilation’ warns UN chief

https://news.un.org/en/story/2022/08/1123752

Such a big world changing decision is only made by a very small percentage of the population.

 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-62381425

The problem is that any average person has no effective choice to stop the use of such weapons.

https://www.euronews.com/2022/08/02/world-one-step-from-nuclear-annihilation-says-un-chief

Therefore, if any cities or nations are destroyed, it's from a much higher level of people. Not just the military, but an overall power structure.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/aug/02/world-one-miscalculation-away-from-nuclear-annihilation-un-chief-says

So if the entire world or even just part of it is destroyed, it is as a result of the power structure wanting to take that course of action.

DEVO - Beautiful World https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56u6g0POvo0 , https://www.youtube.com/c/DEVOvision/videos

Even if there is never quite a global nuclear war, some people think that there should be a lot more nuclear+power plants constructed. That way even more toxic waste can be created. The problem is, that most people wouldn't benefit from more nuclear waste, any more than from a global nuclear war.
