 I'm not afraid of nukes. Are you? 
 No. Useless thing to be afraid about. If you cannot act on it you shouldn't fear it. 
 If one landed within a few miles, no. 
I wouldn't like to be in the blast wave/firestorm of 10 or so miles away though🤷🏻‍♂️. 
 I’ll take the other side. I’m terrified of the people who control the nukes. The technology itself, not really but their ability to deploy it, yes.  
 If their ability to deploy it is made stronger than the collective human race's ability to stop them, by the nature of the technology, then the technology itself is terrifying. 
 Me neither  
 If you can't stop trying to kill yourself and everything around you, please just kill yourself faster 
 I worry a little... I think Putin is actually saner than those running the show in the US and will be patient for a couple months.  
 SMRs for the hashwars!
