Play this out:
Russia nukes the US.
In response, the US nukes Russia. Not just a little bit either, they nuke all population sites.
No “decapitation” strike is possible from either side. Any attack by either side is met by the other striking back, and again not just a little bit - all population sites. That is what mutually assured destruction is.
And maybe more if you need:
if you think the US nukes Russia, then:
surprise, Russia nukes the US back.
Once again, no decapitation strike is possible from either side. A strike by the US is met by Russia striking back. That is what mutually assured destruction is.
MAD literally works if either side starts nuking the other, regardless of the reason why. This is the whole basis of MAD.
Ok I’m really gonna peace out. You really need to do some reading.


First you said Russia, not the US, would do a preemptive nuclear attack. So this isn’t about Trump, it’s about Putin.
Second, Russia wouldn’t do it because of MAD. That’s the whole concept of MAD.
You’re making no sense, so I think I’m gonna peace out.


They consider Taiwan part of China. They would see nuking Taiwan as nuking their own left hand. Very unlikely.


MAD is when the other country can nuke you back. That doesn’t exist here. (As far as everyone knows.)


Preemptive attacks don’t work when they will nuke you back. This is the principle behind Mutually Assured Destruction.


Zelenskyy clearly hopes to tap into the riches of the Gulf states as investors in Ukraine’s burgeoning military weapons industry, and potentially as aid donors, or even allies.
For the headline about Trump the article talks mostly about Zelenskyy.
Finally at the end it talks about Trump’s speech.
The week ended with a feeling of foreboding around the globe that things were going to get a lot worse, and not just because of Trump’s language about bombing Iran “back to the Stone Ages”.
And throws in Israel and Russia to conclude:
The Caspian Sea. The Baltic. The Red Sea. This war is no longer just about the Strait of Hormuz. Or Iran.


Because they’re the board of peace, not war silly.


None of that matters when you don’t have bases around the world to put your weapons.


Many U.S. tech companies have offices in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and Abu Dhabi, which could become targets of Iranian drone and missile attacks if the country follows through on its threat.


He’s going to bomb until he’s bored and then stop. That’s why it’s going to be air only (maybe ground special ops), air only is easy to stop. Well the US part is easy to stop, then it’s when does Iran stop.


Not sure if too expensive but the geopolitical risk is too high.


This is fun because when does the war end? When the US says so?


It’s an explanation, not an excuse.


I heard the school was built on former military land. So could be a case of very outdated information.


The Art of Douche.


Who had Kurds on their 2026 bingo card?
You’re not supposed to keep them in the fridge, but keep them in the fridge. Out of the fridge they soften and sprout.


Lol you don’t need a formalized alliance like NATO.
