my objection is not coming from somewhere you can throw justifications or “gotchas” at to refute. Morally distasteful it would certainly be (at least to me), but what I say mostly comes from the simple truth that wiping out entire populations indiscriminately – doesn’t matter who, Iran, Israel, w/e – especially with a nuclear weapon in the middle east, would be an irreversible and stupid decision that would have far-reaching, long-lasting consequences regionally and across the world, both easily anticipated (i.e. radioactive fallout) and unforeseen; ergo is not something to be treated with the same cavalier attitude Donald Trump has towards the idea. That he has the actual power to do so and clearly has the same “act now, think of consequences later” attitude some of you do is fucking terrifying to me.

Think of the unforeseen consequences Trump’s little poorly-planned foray into Iran has had, that had him backpedaling fast enough to win the Tour de France in reverse. Some of them we haven’t even gotten to yet, I’m sure, as it’s still an ongoing debacle. You want to tell me, with a straight face, that glassing Israel and the aftermath thereof is going to be less messy than… well, gee, just about any course of action that does not involve doing that?

Can you walk me through it? The aftermath, I mean. Because sure, I can see a lot of problems you might think would just go away with Israel vaporized, but I somehow really doubt they’re all going to be wrapped up nicely with a bow. But perhaps I just lack vision.

no, I do not believe that indiscriminate mass murder and wanton destruction is an acceptable solution for any of the world’s problems. If you do, I’d suggest seeking therapy.

Now I’d never normally be in favor of kicking dogs, not even robot ones; however…

Operation Fortitude II: Pneumatic Boogaloo

It had much less to do with the attackers race, and much more to do with the fact that prior to 9/11, aircraft hijackings were primarily done for ransom, not to use the plane as a weapon for a mass casualty event.

This is the same JD Vance that repeatedly falsely claimed immigrants were eating cats and dogs in his home state, is it not?

I’m not saying a nuclear suicide vest couldn’t be done. I’m just saying, JD Vance has claimed lots of things.
