No one wins in nuclear war

With America being close to a nuclear war with North Korea, one has to wonder if we kill 20 million Koreans and they kill 10 million Americans, is that considered a victory?

Someone once said the lucky ones die during a nuclear attack. Survivors are exposed to radioactivity and other poison gas that eventually destroys body functions.

So, if there are only 25 million Koreans and 350 million Americans I guess the ratio would lean towards North Korea — not including the radioactive clouds that circle the earth and cause fallout in other countries. Then, we can watch people we love die in agony.

But we won, so who cares? We can all go our graves with a smile on our face knowing that the people who got us into this mess are alive and well.
