Basically, if they get nuked... they nuke Moscow, European capitals, anyone and everyone they can reach. So.... yeah...

And obviously it is non nuclear. If Iran does have any 'nuclear' capacity, it would be dirty bombs, not.... actual, proper, thermonuclear bombs/warheads. The Israel strategy is to intentionally take out friend, foe, in between, with full-on thermonuclear weapons, to simply maximize chaos and maximize the chance of basically secondary retaliatory nuclear strikes against as many other targets as possible. Goad the world into destroying itself, get other people to do most of the work for them. ... See how that's kind of a recurring pattern? If you are unfamiliar with the story of Samson from the Old Testament / Torah: Samson, a supernaturally strong warrior, is captured by the Philistines, his magic hair that gives him superhuman strength is shorn off, his eyes are put out. But, in his despair, he repents his sins, and God gives him his supernatural strength back. Samson, while being paraded and mocked in the Philistine royal court, finds the support beams to the whole building, and shakes them so hard that the entire building collapses, killing himself and everyone else in the Philistine royal court. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 2 points 5 months ago Fucking psychopaths.
