Two things:
-
How convinenient that he chose the capitals of the 3 countries that the US has a vendetta against. I’m genuinely surprised he didn’t say Beijing or Gaza.
-
This is clearly just manufacturing consent because no adult thinks this. Thinks that dropping atomic bombs on civillains will solve everything.
This kind of thinking exposes how little people actually care for oppressed folks who they trot out for political points.
In the case of Moscow, they never even pretended to care about the civilians (even openly wishing death on them), but for both the DPRK and Iran the narrative was always “but think of all the innocent citizens their governments hurt and oppress!”, and their solution always? Kill everything that moves.
Liberals actively demanded that Ukraine start comitting random acts of terror against civillians in Moscow.
Honestly the egregious levels of open racism against Russians was (is still?) unbelievable.
picking Gaza would prob mean isntreal has to deal w fallout.
but yeah, anyone who actually picks three places to hypothetically nuke is fucked up. even if you choose amerika, you mostly kill poor, powerless people.
related to this, there was this “nuke simulator” website that calculated how many people would be killed or irradiated based on where you drop it, how many megatons the bomb is, whether you detonate in air or on the surface, etc. my friends and i played on this site one time in high school and some other kid we were kind of like acquaintances with joined us and kept picking cities in India. i was like “why do you keep picking India?” and he just said “i dont like them”. we stopped talking to him after that lol
The population density of india is pretty high and you can get high numbers there if that is what you want to see in the simulation.
FR tho, I don’t see any way to use bombs ethically in general because of civilian casualties. Nuclear weapons are even worse in that regard. However I understand why some countries have nukes to prevent invasions.
I remember that. We kept picking Toronto because it was close to where we lived.
Personally, I choose 3 us aircraft carriers
i see ur point, but its still mostly poor people who enlisted for a stable job, health care, and education. doesnt justify what they do, its just most ppl in the military joined bc of their material conditions
If all three nukes are thrown at the Yellowstone Caldera, does this set off the super volcano scenario?
Nope
Well, I am counting that as a -good- thing I learned today.
Might end the Yellowstone expanded universe
My three choices are, if I am forced to choose, deep space, deep space, and uhh… deep space. Nukes are weapons of genocide and nothing else. Even nuking the Imperial Core would mostly kill just powerless people.
Nuking any nuclear power has an unacceptably high chance of touching off a life-ending war, too.
The only correct response here.
Jackson hole, Beverly Hills, and upper-east side manhattan.
I dunno why people pick targets based on population density or the capital city, but not the residences of wealth and power.
Most people’s very liberal understanding of power leads them to think these capital cities and population centers are particularly important.
DC, Brussels, and London
Hey :(
Just kidding, bomb this place.
If I had a gun with two
bulletsnukes and I was in a room with America, Britain, and France, I would shoot America twice.Are those 3 little black dots on the map the targets they picked? They think Tehran is on the border of Romania and Serbia??? Why is Moscow so far east??
that geography knowledge just screams white american
Yugoslavia 2: Iran Boogaloo
The only winning move is not to play.
True then and true now. Though if I wanted to be a clever boy about it, I would use suitcase nukes and pick three events that ghouls attend en masse, like Davos, the State of the Union, and a G12 summit.
NAFO, for peace but only if it benefit the imperial ruling class.
If I can’t choose DC three times, then I will choose DC, Jerusalem, and London
If I was forced to, Antarctica, North Pole and a very remote area in Australia or Russia. I don’t want to kill people.
What about, uh, the sea?
North Pole
Santa hater detected
That’s how we win the war on Christmas
Yeah the sea would probably be a good shout, but it might spread the radiation. I wasn’t really being serious with my answer, just trying to go for a hypothetical in which the least amount of people die.
If it’s in the deep ocean the water pressure wouldn’t even let the nuke explode, or radiation spread.
Milwaukee, Madison and Green Bay.
Just in case.
Edit: I love how I didn’t have to give a single explanation for this. Proud of you people.
Triple tap Washington DC, they can use a taste of their own medicine.
Don’t forget Langley!
