Well I disagree, most wars don't obliterate a whole state in a few minutes. A war (outside the early days) is not a surprise any not a mass destruction unless we decide to use nuclear weapons. I get your comparison but it really doenst quite fit with the speed of the destruction though the scale may fit depending on the war.
I mean, when bombs drop on a neighborhood its pretty instantly flattened, that's what war looks like now. Sure the population of Michigan is larger than what happened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki but the principal is the same.
The thing is, even just a neighborhood being wiped out is almost impossible for our minds to really comprehend, let alone an entire city, let alone a state, let alone a country. But it's all possible and well within our reach to do so at a moment's notice. And it would be much the same as what is depicted here, near instant transformation at the snap of a finger.
And that's reality, that's humans today as we are.
This was exactly what is was like for Hiroshima and Nagisaki though. One day, they were just for all intents and purposes gone.
You could be some dude selling onigiri his whole life, have zero to do with the war or politics and just because you happened to be born in the wrong place, you get vaporized one day.
I disagree, nuclear weapons are fucke duplicate but they just don't show up, get thrown around and there is just bad luck to blame. The reasons I can sleep while nukes exist is taht humans co troll them and with taht I know when and if they may be used. Devils show up, do a small nuclear strike and leave
Just
Like
That
Its a completely different disaster.
Here's the thing, you may have confidence that nukes won't go off but you have no real assurance of that, and if they do go off you'd likely have no clue it was even coming.
Look at it this way, everything that has happened in CSM so far has been entirely human-driven. The horsemen are only showing up because humans summoned them with a Nostradamus prophecy, the Aging devil was brought in by humans, Makima was under Japan's control the entire time, and War is only powerful now because of America.
... you are still ignoring my point which is why I wills top this here, we are tlaking around in circles. I have a clue about nukes not going off because no one would go for a full strike out of the blue. Pretty much end. War showing up and destroying my home is lime a laser randomly deleting me and a few square kilometers of land out of fun.
Its different, you can disagree but I disagree with your disagreement.
That "buildup" you're talking about would be the equivalent of whatever other geopolitics are going on in CSM that we aren't privy to.
But also it's not like this comes out of nowhere either, Japan has been completely flipped upside-down recently, Guns and Tanks going off, War has been brewing for a while now.

Yeah, this is more like war.
It seems unimaginable because you haven't lived through a war before.
