I don’t think it’s wise to normalize the use of nuclear weapons by saying it will be business as usual for passenger flights.
We’ve seen how normalizing illegal invasions and occupations leads to genocide. We’ve seen how stripping away personal freedoms leads to authoritarian rule.
The use of nuclear weapons, even tactical warheads, will break the taboo that has been in place since 1945 and will encourage other actors to use them. Unleashing a chain of events which may very well end civilization.
Yeah, that’s all true, but on the other hand there’ll probably be a lot of money to be made for a while there, so who’s to say whether it’s bad or good overall.
