You sound like a too-literal person.

Wasn’t trying to be too literal. Just pointing out that economics around nuclear war are significantly different than a conventional war.

Obviously. So take it to the next step and ask yourself if I really meant a mutual exchange of nuclear weapons.

I can only go by what was written in previous tweets. Not sure what sort of situation you see occurring where one side launches nukes without the other retaliating. Maybe my tin foil MAGA hat isn’t properly tuned?

Unless NK fired first, which would be unlikely as it would be suicide, odds of NK getting off a functional nuke before their country is obliterated in a preemptive attack is fairly low.

If we fired first there is fair chance China would take some sort of action on behalf of NK. NK would also still have a reasonable chance of getting a nuke into Seoul, DMZ. US base, Tokyo, or Quam.

China wouldn't attack the US with nukes. Self-interest rules.

The odds probably favor your conclusion if you are dealing with logical individuals and perfect situations. Neither of which are a given in this situation. Still not sure how NYT profits from this.

All players in this situation are known to be rational and effective, from China to North Korea to the U.S. That's exactly why progress is happening.

I will take this moment to refute your assertion that Chinese humans are rational, using your own argument that no humans are rational, but ruled by bias. In this case, they only "appear" rational to you because your bias (towards survival) matches their bias.

Irrational people can have rational systems. See capitalism. China's government seems rational even if individuals are not.

We'll just have to disagree to agree then.
