    The existence of nukes didn’t stop the government from participating in proxy wars during the Cold War period, and they certainly didn’t stop them from directly invading other countries in the early 2000s.

    If I had to hazard a guess, nuclear annihilation isn’t the greatest concern.

      Corporations these days only look at short term gains. Doesnt matter if the world is thrown into a nuclear winter as long someone made a lot of money in a single quarter. Thats why they panic at a measly 2% drop despite revenue went up. All lines must always go up.
