A bit of a click bait title. They said they would hit Israel’s nuclear facilities if Israel attacks Iran’s.
Yeah I wouldn’t even call that clickbait. That is straight up fucking bullshit. They knew what they were doing with that title.
“make it possible to review our nuclear doctrine and deviate from our previous considerations”
Context being their purported self-limitation on developing nuclear weapons. Not stated directly given context but implied.
A bit? As far as we know they don’t even have nuclear weapons. This is major click bait.
A bit?
I wasn’t betting on 2024 being the year everyone died, but it looks like we’re heading that way…
Well, it’s been a blast. Pun intended.
my wild guess about “everyone (60% and +) to die” :
0% chances from Iran & middle east wars
10% chances from russ & NATO wars
50% chances from climate change
… say, in the next 30 years.Also, 90% chances i am missing something important here.
Irish unification, Bell riots, and then the nuclear war
And then the post-scarcity utopia!
Can we just skip to that? Pretty please??
If I were the Iranian leadership I’d want to develop a nuclear arsenal yesterday. It’s the only way to really deter Israeli or American aggression. As an American myself I’d appreciate the resulting reduction in the likelihood of our going to war against Iran.
Then Iran starts pulling the bullshit russia is doing.
If Iran uses a nuclear device, the whole world will use conventional weaponry to flatten the entire country, just to make an example of them. None of the serious players actually want nuclear war.
They don’t even have them. How would they be able to use something they don’t have?
Iran might have 1 or 2 but we have hundreds iran doesn’t want us to get MAD also known as Mutual assured destruction there desert country would be irrataded for the next 100 years where as NORAD would of stopped there missile over flying over the Pacific or Atlantic ocean
Reading this makes my brain hurt
These people actually think they are smart. Can’t fathom why “the rest of the world” doesn’t understand them, disagrees with them, is against them.
Wants to nuke them.
I pictured a mentally deficient trucker, ala Curt Russell in Big Trouble in Little China, but fatter and uncool screaming into his phone while Real American by Rick Derringer plays in the background.
Do you find it irratading? Because I also find it irratading.
The point of building nukes isn’t really to launch a nuke at someone, it’s to make others decide that attacking you is too risky. Missile defense isn’t perfect, so even if it probably would stop them, there’s still a risk one gets through, that someone would have to take into consideration before launching an attack. It’s even more a threat against Isreal, since they have less time to intercept, and even one missile getting through would destroy a comparatively larger fraction of the country, being that it’s fairly small.
I think Japan would disagree with you on that one.
That’s certainly the case today, though. The only reason it wasn’t the case then was because only one nation had nukes.
Now that mutually assured destruction is a near guarantee, only seriously deranged people are eyeing the button.
Japan was nuked at a time when the realities around nuclear weapons (namely, the hostile nation having them too, or an ally of theirs) were different. The strategy around them is dramatically different now from then.
Are you fucking five?
Can I get you some rabbit?
Iran doesn’t have nuclear weapons…
irrataded, you say?
Hundreds? America has thousands of nuclear weapons. I wish we only had hundreds
