Attack on Titan: Shingeki no Kyojin

Okay, so what's the success rate of his CURRENT plan? What are the odds of Zeke just regaining control at any moment and sterilizing the Eldians? Can you tell me what that % is? Or would you just have to make up a number? How do you know the difference between an 80% success plan and a 50% plan?

100%. At least that's what Eren is thinking at the moment.

And I'd still like to hear 2-3 alternative avenues that don't involve anyone's genocide. I'm not asking for a "gotcha", I'm honestly curious, because I cannot think of a no genocide-scenario, other than relaying a decision to future generations, which wouldn't solve the issue.

I feel like the fact that you think "Russia gets stronger and the EU looks weak" is "worse in the long run" than everyone dying in a nuclear war pretty much says it all.

"Everyone dying" from Mr. "You're thinking too black and white". A couple nukes would hit. The West would live on. Cities be rebuilt. At some point a decision needs to made and I'd rather it be made when Russia is at its weakest and before more innocent countries are being invaded by them. The West doesn't have some god-given right of not being hit by war realities. Fuck Putin.

I gave my preferred course of action already in a response to neflight:

Like, realistically, Eren should just be able to smash Marley's military and government. Free his fellow Eldians, and then begin negotiations with the other countries, having just freed them all from Marley's oppression. Hell, the Japanese-ish country was ALREADY willing to ally with them.

And again, you're putting another unnecessary requirement on to the end. Now the plan also has to be "actions of future generations"-proof? Why?

"Everyone dying" from Mr. "You're thinking too black and white". A couple nukes would hit. The West would live on.

Not sure why you think that. The whole reason nuclear deterrence has worked up until now is because of the idea neither side can nuke the other because both the US and Russia have enough nukes to literally blanket the opposite hemisphere in fire.

The idea being, as soon as you launch a couple nukes at Russia, Putin, knowing that it's the end of him, and being the asshole that he is, wouldn't respond with just a couple surgical strikes. And at that point, even if you aren't hit by a nuke directly, the nuclear fallout afterwards is likely enough to wipe out mankind.
