I mean - its obvious, isn’t it? Military installations and personal are absolutely a legitimate target in case of war, who would argue otherwise?
It is, but a good chunk of Americans cry anyway when their imperialist goons are blown up.
You might need to remind the demented old man of that several times during a planning meeting, though.
Not since ~2002
Nuclear war actually is on my 2026 bingo card, so at least there’s that.
These are very religious people, so I certainly wouldn’t rule it out either. If they receive no outside aid and know they cannot win, I don’t doubt that they would go all out and nuke us. Sure, the US has way more nuclear weapons and would then retaliate with a bigger strike, but then we ALL get fucking sick and many non involved will die. TRUMP! AMERICA! What a bunch of fucking morons… Nations have been working to avoid this shit for decades!!!
These are very religious people,
Ironically the religious leaders are the ones against nuclear weapons. The ayatollahs aren’t as crazy and zealous as western media likes to portray them, they know if they make nukes they’ll become a pariah state like North Korea and lose any possibility of relief from sanctions, but they also know that if they never develop nukes the US and Israel can continue to bomb them with impunity. Thus they’ve taken a policy of always being ~6 months away from having a nuke so they can dash for one in the case of a war and guarantee nuclear sovereignty without violating non proliferation treaties in the mean time. Iran doesn’t have nukes because of this, and even if they did they don’t have the icbms or the planes to hit the US.
These are very religious people
And American government isn’t full of crucifixes?
US dropped 88 kilotons on Iraq.
Nagasaki was 21 kilotons.
And we are about to strike Iran. I’m not trying to put the US in any kind of good light here. I’m saying that starting a war with Iran is a fucking stupid thing to do.
I mean… Duh? If someone does a war on you, bases are some of the most legitimate targets for doing war back.
When you have to shoot, shoot – don’t talk
The reason they’re saying this is that saying this is literally the only thing they are able to do.
