If 1 nuclear weapon is launched FROM anywhere TO anywhere, it is truly "the end of the world as we know it."
There will be retailiation, and in the retaliation will be additional attacks, and attacks from allies factor in, and attacks from allies of the aggressors.... most likely a quarter to a half of the world's population will die instantly, and soon about only 1/4 of the world's population will remain- between rioting, looting, mass violence, radiation, fires, lack of water/electricity/food and THEN there's the matter of the world going into "nuclear winter" where freezing temperatures will kill crops, animals, and those without proper shelter...
but i'm not paranoid... i'm just knowledgable of the consequences. I hope those with control over the launch buttons are as well.
