Mr. President! Nuclear missiles will strike our country in 14 minutes. I know it’s your first day in office so I’m going to walk you through it, but you’re the only one who can authorize our nuclear retaliation in response and you’ve only got a few minutes to make a decision!

"You have the power to make demands of your leaders" doesn't quite work in 2 out 3 countries shown :( Hard to make demand when demands are criminalized

Ian Pendleton

Sad to say, that's very, very true. I hope the situation changes soon, otherwise...

Https.Chaos

Wow I have goosebumps. This video is incredible! The way it's all said with urgency and in POV of the leader makes it feel so real. Absolutely incredible, guys!

Forodriac Origamius

I can't believe it. First, you take down your drugs video because it was "not accurate", and then you publish this bucket of utter troll factory sludge? So desperate for Kremlins rubels? No balance or insight whatsoever - this is the kind of scarecrow propaganda that fuelled the "peace" movement decades ago, funded by Soviet Union. The best weapon of them all, you just have to say you have it, scare the shit out of everyone with it, and you can use it again and again to almost undisturbed commit horrible crimes against humanity. I never thought you'd be so sloppy. Shame on you! Go get educated, then make an insightful and balanced revisit-video to set the narrative straight to reality. The smallest sad thing is, suddenly I feel bad for all the years as your patreon.

Patrick W. Gilmore

Holy crap, that was rather "unbalanced". Do you have anything in particular that provoked such ire? Nothing in the video seemed ridiculously wrong to me, but willing to be educated? I guess you could be upset at the east attacked the west first, but honestly, that is not the point.

James Dominguez

Only part-way through, but I am blown away (no pun intended) by the quality of animation in this episode. You folks at Kurzgesagtzentrum clearly put a LOT of work into this one...

Meade Marmalade

Just goes to show (again) how important it is to keep dismantling nuclear arsenals around the world. At least to the point where it won't end civilization if one madman gets his hands on 'em or one mistake ends up launching a full-scale nuclear war.

Why don't we ask the Ukrainians if they regret getting rid of their Nuclear Weapons? Getting rid of Nuclear Weapons by protesting their existence, isn't really an option. Any country which gets their hand on Nuclear Weapons is basically Immune from being destroyed or taken over, by force, by those who have nuclear weapons. The only real alternative is to join a country with nuclear weapons. Just ask China why they are not taking Taiwan, even though they have made it undeniably clear that Taiwan is theirs for the taking. It isn't Taiwan stopping them! It is the nuclear missiles, that the US deployed during the First Taiwan Strait Crisis. Honestly that is the only thing that has stopped the worlds dictators from simply taking what they want. If Ukraine had Nuclear Weapons, they never would have been invaded. All major wars have stopped because Nuclear Weapons ensured that no one could start a war with a nuclear capable nation or alliance. I'm sure that we will be fucked over by a lunatic, starting world war 3, at some point, but the way to prevent that isn't done with the people protesting. It is done by not giving concentrated power to lunatics or senile geriatrics, which clearly is very hard to avoid, no matter which part of the world you look at.

This video was the first time I thought, “I don’t know if I want my kids to watch this one.” Kurzgesagt’s optimistic nihilism is a tricky balance to strike. But please be mindful when titling your videos that there’s a lot of kids in the audience.

I don’t want world war three to happen
