Fox News reports that Donald Trump may consider using nuclear weapons to eliminate Iran’s Fordo nuclear facility

    Does any of it consider the wars that will be triggered? How the water supply will be affected? How the weather is going to be affected after an already fucked up atmosphere absorbs this damage?

    Did you consider any of it? In an actually analytical way, that is, instead of just imagining the outcome you wanted?

    I provided links, you provided nothing but belief and fearmongering. And downvotes, of course, which also prove nothing.

      Nukes get dropped, war will break out. This will result in large chunks of the world being killed.

      Humanity will not be the same after.

      It wasn’t the last two fucking times we did it, and there’s only more people now to get even more fucked up and have an even more extreme reaction to such instability.

        None of which comes close to rendering humanity extinct. That’s been my point all along. Nuclear war would suck, but it would not render humanity extinct.
