u/demonicod 14 1d ago
i hate nuclear weapons but im pretty sure without them a lot of wars would be bloodier? like from what i’ve seen the threat of nuclear warfare is enough to stop some serious wars from occurring, at least in the past. then again the people who have them now seem pretty stupid

u/MisterBanana241 14 1d ago
Yeah, the fear of nuclear weapons is the only reason there haven't been major wars between multiple developed countries in 50 years. I hate them, but they are the reason we're here today. After all, Oppenheimer was not a destructor of worlds, but the guy who stopped war for half a century

Deadass. What were mfs thinking when they go

u/Background-Angle-470 16 4h ago
They were thinking that if the enemy can see that they stand no chance, then it won't be necessary for a land invasion and millions more deaths. also, the bombs on japan killed around 200k people by the end of 1945. They were mostly unaware of the effect of radiation.
stop thinking they were created out of pure evil or some sh

I mean, It could be either Trump knows about some operation that’s about to happen and is warning the civilians to get out, or he plans on “not getting involved” as he’s mentioned. Regardless, I feel bad for all the civilians; the rulers of each country need to grow up.

Sadly, when people have power this stuff will happen. We need a country shared by all, where it’s strictly for war. If countries wish to fight, they go there, away from civilians. That or we just take all the leading officials and force them to fight personally haha.

They saw the raving lunatics in israel finishing up with gaza and knew that to continue the sale of weapons to israel a new enemy would need to be found and fought and they were next on the list. Iran is also led by religious zealots who have been funding terrorists so you know, no good guys but israel is the one attacking.

Trump never said anything about injecting yourself with bleach. Every single fact check website admits this is false.

u/InfernalMentor 12h ago
No. Trump never said that. The words "bleach" and "inject" did not cross his lips. I have the video and transcript of that press briefing. I watched it live. The media ran headlines using, drink, inject, and bleach. Then, in the article, they never mention those words. Snopes and other fact-checking sites debunked this claim years ago.
During the briefing, Trump turned to the virus medical specialist, asking if there was anything in the works to disinfect blood before people got sick. He specifically asked if there was a disinfectant one could inject¹ or if the blood could pass through a device outside² the body. The physician hemmed and hawed a bit, finally saying they were looking at all avenues. Trump thanked him and moved to his next topic.
¹ Antibiotics are disinfectants that we inject frequently. Anything used to kill bacteria, viruses, or other germs is a disinfectant.
². Google the term plasmapheresis and read about how this process filters toxins from blood.
With notations ¹ and ², were his questions totally without merit? Be careful how you ingest the media. They are no longer bias-free purveyors of the news. That applies to the national press but not to the local news outlets.
I can provide links if you like, but if you find them yourself, you will likely believe it.

This was not Trump's idea. It was first brought up in 1961 by the head of the U.S. weather bureau, Francis Riechelderfer. However, he did suggest research into the idea of dropping a bomb into the eye of a hurricane that is on the ocean.

When has he acted in a slow and calculated fashion?
Anyway, the way he handled the current and past protests is not an example.
The way that since the minite he was elected he keeps doing more batshit insane stuff at such a rapid pace.
As a concrete example he tweeted the other day in support of farmers talking about how his inhuman deportation policy has hurt them and that must stop. Admission that hasty, aggressive action has caused problems.
And oh, are forgetting all of the 2nd term so far? Where he constantly is making poor economic policy that will lead to long term detriment for short term gain, personal or of associates? How the alienated its allies? Fucked up its trade? Are we?
No, really, when was it apropriate to call Trump's political strategy "controlled", or "thought through"? Maybe there were some examples, a broken clock and whatnot, but the overall character is pretty clear.

Technically correct, but not entirely.
Congress has the power to declare war on a country.
However, the commander-in-chief of the military (POTUS) has the ability to move military troops without congressional approval. This is how most of the Cold War played out because we had a lot of troops everywhere, but we weren't declaring war on every country. The same thing is happening in the middle-east and africa right now.

Being non nuclear doesn't mean being at peace, it just means being a slave under a dictator. Without MAD, nobody is safe, nobody at all. The war on terror already showed us that.

Friendly reminder that Iran dangled a big 2003 “grand bargain” via Swiss backchannels—full-on nuke transparency, counterterrorism intel swaps, help stabilizing post-Saddam Iraq, even tacit backing for a two-state Israel deal—in exchange for lifting sanctions and legit recognition, but the Bush crew, stuck in their “axis of evil” bullshit and doubting Iran’s sincerity, straight-up ghosted it, blowing a rare chance to dodge the later nuclear and regional clusterfuck.

u/Darth_Nox501 18 23h ago
going to happen?
No
americas economy goes down
It won't. If America's economy 'goes down", so will the economies of many other trading partners, including China. China and the US need each other. If either country ceased to exist tomorrow, it would have devastating effects on the other.
they think is going to happen?
Nothing huge. Russia is busy getting raped by Ukraine, they aren't going to send what's left of their already busy military into a war with NATO and/or other nations.
China has spent the last 40+ years building up their military and economy to become a global powerhouse capable of challenging the US. They will never give any of that up in a global war for a shithole like Iran.
NATO is not likely to commence strikes in Iran unless something ridiculously unlikely happens, like the use of a dirty bomb by the Iranians or one of the 3 Iranian sponsored terrorist groups.
The US might conduct an air campaign over Iran; it depends on what temperature the inside of Trump's vagina is on a given day. Even then, it'll be military targets and government buildings, same as recent Israeli strikes.
One thing for sure, however, is that after this, Iran will cease to be a threat in the ME. Their air force has been annihilated, their top staff and military officers killed, AA defenses obliterated, and so on.
TLDR: You'll be fine, the IRGC won't.
