Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Trump will nuke Iran, and the trolls on here will still insist Kamala would have done the same thing.

If he does, Israel will get so heavily nuked it will be a dead zone

Russia, China, Pakistan even India would be heavily impacted, all nuclear armed states

I can't see this working out well for America's greatest ally ever but won't put boots on the ground

America desperately needs a military coup

If Israel gets nuked, it will do the Samson Doctrine, which is:

Nuke every nearby national capital, friend or foe.

Europe, Turkey, Egypt, fuck it.

That's been their nuclear doctrine since they'd had nukes, which is roughly the 1970s.

BTW, they learned how to build nukes, in part, via stealing nuclear material from the US.

The most insane thing about all of this is that Iran does not possess nuclear weapons.

But Israel does, and has for decades.
