> Nuclear war between US and Russia is less likely with Trump
Incredibly difficult to estimate this, in large part because the probabilities are so small.
What we can say is neither Russia nor America wants MAD. So the way an exchange would happen would be due to a fuckup. And not any old fuckup, e.g. Ukraine hit Moscow with an American missile or whatever. But a nuclear fuckup, e.g. Moscow thinks it's detected multiple missile launches and can't get the President on the phone.
