      She’s saying the trump admin is discussing nukes, she is not saying nukes are bad

      Rational people are saying it would be bad if nukes are used.

        And I’m saying she’s just being alarmist and inflammatory to keep herself in the news cycle. People need to stop giving her the publicity she doesn’t deserve.

        That’s partly how we got Trump in the first place. News outlets falling over themselves to report the insane shit he was saying and doing, at the expense of reporting on sane candidates saying sane things.

          I don’t disagree that news reporting helped spread Trump’s message, but far more consequential was the intentional Democratic national strategy of uplifitng Donald Trump because they thought he would be easy to beat. The Pied Piper strategy is well documented now with Democratic leadership working with the Hillary Clinton campaign to uplift Trump and tear down Bernie Sanders. Trump would not have become the Republican nominee if he was not being artificially inflated by the DNC.

          I don’t think ignoring people like MTG or Trump really works because the people they advertise to aren’t gonna join the majority. Systemic action needs to be taken against them. Nick Fuentes, for example, waned in popularity after action was taken against him and he was banned from the internet. He is rising in popularity again because those actions have been reversed. These people know their ideas and policies are unpopular and rely upon regular folks not really knowing how disgusting they are. I think shining a light on them and directly calling them disgusting is an important step in actively banning them from public spaces.

              Yes…

              And then the rest of it is rational people discussing what would happen if trump used nukes…

              I’m sorry buddy, it literally doesn’t matter to me if you understand this, and I’m not going to fight you just to help you.

              Feel free to be wrong about this and anything else, I won’t see it anymore

                That’s exactly the problem! She says crazy shit to keep herself in the news. People take Jewish Space Laser Lady seriously and discuss what she said as if she should be taken seriously. News reports on it as if it should be taken seriously. Voters take Jewish Space Laser Lady seriously. Mission Accomplished.

                I’m sorry buddy, it literally doesn’t matter to me if you understand this, and I’m not going to fight you just to help you.

                Feel free to be wrong about this and anything else, I won’t see it anymore

                Enjoy your self imposed information silo.

      He not only wanted to use them but use them on a hurricane. Turning something already terrible into something a lot worse.

    I wouldn’t put this past Trump. He is irrational, cannot accept failure and likes his big showy spectacles like using B2 bombers to attack Fordow and Natanz last year.

    He has been going non-stop about how Iran “cannot have a nuclear weapon” and Israel firsters like Mark Levin and Lindsey Graham have been drawing parallels with Japan in 1945 for a while.

    Trump restarted the B61 gravity bomb programme which sits outside the nuclear triad and can be dropped by F15 and F35 jets. Apparently Centcom already have them.

    At the same time Hegseth has been purging Generals who have been urging caution.

    The likely target would be the nuclear facilities under Pickaxe Mountain which would be a one and done affair and would allow Trump to declare a victory ahead of the midterms.

    Obviously this would open up an escalation shitstorm and solve nothing but it’s clear from the war of aggression he launched against Iran that Trump has an optimism bias and doesn’t think things through.

    Trump might use nukes on Iran to help Putin.
    Legitimizing that Russia uses nukes on Ukraine.
    Remember Trump has absolutely zero morals, he has zero empathy towards the people this may hurt. EVERYTHING to Trump is about Trump, nothing else matters.

    So he doesn’t have anything empathy or morals related that would prevent him from doing this. It’s all about how it will impact himself. And Putin being grateful, would be of very high value to Trump, because Trump for some reason loves to suck Putin’s dick.
    It’s like the love he never received from his father to him.

    Do it, make the world your enemy and cement China as the new world leader you mental deficients, odds are that the American military won’t follow through with it but if they did, I could see many angling to attack America over it.
