I would be curious to hear your 2 cents on what you think the chance of a nuclear war are, for any given year.

I would say perhaps 1%, which in a sense is very little, and really a lot.

Also, if you think 1% is way too high, consider that in 1983 a nuclear war was averted by the decision of a single individual [0]. I'm pretty sure the chance that year would have been more than 20%.
