Trump or Biden, they will support Israel. At least I am sure Biden won't drop a nuke.

Republicans say the dumbest shit ever, but it's also incredibly stupid to believe that would actually happen. Nuking Gaza would mean fallout hitting Israel, it's not something that would ever be approved.

That is literally why tactical nuclear weapons were invented.

And the president does not need approval to drop a nuke.

and where have they been used against people?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Ah, because a weapon hasn't been used against people yet, it can never be used against people in the future, right?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

If they were so practical, they would be used in practice instead of things like MOABs. Do you think all the hubbub over nuclear weapons is just based on nothing? Russia has directly threatened using nukes themselves and yet haven't. Tell me, why do you think that is? Reality is on my side here, all you have to go by is "there is a possibility they could be used!!" but that's true for anything that exists.

Only an idiot would use a tactical nuke, but Trump is a huge fucking idiot. This is the guy who wanted to nuke a hurricane.

Again, israel would not allow it and this is all being done for their sake.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Because Donald Trump cares what others say he is "allowed" to do

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Considering how pro-israel he is, actually yes.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

He is more anti-muslim I would say.

Not really how nuclear weapon fallout works

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Considering how close they are, yes it is. If you're going to be pedantic, at least explain how I'm wrong. Regardless, Israel doesn't want Palestine itself irradiated because they plan on stealing that land anyway.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

If you do it right, most of the fallout is whisked away into the upper atmosphere, and if you're bombing somewhere that you have air superiority, you can even wait for favorable wind and atmospheric conditions where it won't blow back at you.

they plan on stealing that land anyway

That's the real reason neither Israel nor the US will nuke Palestine
