I mostly agree with that and “slim” is a matter of opinion. I’ve seen some quacks who support the war say it’s “…less than ten percent” and call that slim. Well, I would say a ten percent chance of the immediate end of human civilization and a possible extinction level event is PRETTY DAMNED HIGH. Particularly since it is a completely voluntary risk. Anybody who had a ten shot revolver and put one shell in it and played Russian roulette would be rightly regarded as a damned crazy fool.
