I asked this of a friend while hiking the other day in jest, but who knows? I joked that I probably wouldn't have a lot of time, and given I would probably be in shock... the best I could get out might be, "Well, fuck."

How about you?

Are nukes really that precise at this point? I honestly had no idea.

But I don't trust the US or Israel to show any kind of restraint once one gets let off the chain.

    Do they need to be precise?

    • I imagine Iran has missiles that can hit a city in Israel, assuming it doesn’t get shot down
    • since they wouldn’t have many and can expect huge response from Israel, they might try smuggling
    • us is tougher to reach so more likely smuggled into whatever harbor, so yeah, how precisely can you park a container truck?
