    A bit of a click bait title. They said they would hit Israel’s nuclear facilities if Israel attacks Iran’s.

      Yeah I wouldn’t even call that clickbait. That is straight up fucking bullshit. They knew what they were doing with that title.

        “make it possible to review our nuclear doctrine and deviate from our previous considerations”

        Context being their purported self-limitation on developing nuclear weapons. Not stated directly given context but implied.

    I wasn’t betting on 2024 being the year everyone died, but it looks like we’re heading that way…

    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.

    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.

          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?
