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.
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.
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.
All the, “We’re gonna DIE!” posts come from people that never lived the Cold War.
The same Cold War where if a couple of people made different choices (like Stanislav Petrov) the earth would be an irradiated wasteland?
The doomers can be irritating at times but let’s not get complacent.
Share with us your sagely wisdom because the daily dread I feel is unreal
This is kind of a cliche at this point but I have found mindfulness to be helpful for me. I like to go out into the woods and just watch the wind blow the trees around and just appreciate the nature around me. Keeping yourself in the present is tough but it does wonders.
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.
Can I get you some rabbit?
Are you fucking five?
irrataded, you say?
Iran doesn’t have nuclear weapons…
Hundreds? America has thousands of nuclear weapons. I wish we only had hundreds
