99 Kriegsminister
Streichholz und Benzinkanister
Hielten sich für schlaue Leute
Witterten schon fette Beute
Riefen: „Krieg!“, und wollten Macht
Mann, wer hätte das gedacht?
Dass es einmal so weit kommt
Wegen 99 Luftballons
99 Jahre Krieg
Ließen keinen Platz für Sieger
Kriegsminister gibt’s nicht mehr
Und auch keine Düsenflieger
Heute zieh’ ich meine Runden
Seh’ die Welt in Trümmern liegen
Hab’ ‘n Luftballon gefunden
Denk’ an dich und lass’ ihn fliegen
Who exactly is doing the “Mutually Assured” part for Iran?
If the US deploys a nuke in Iran:
as long as it’s not an ICBM over adversaries, it won’t trigger immediate response systems. Tactical nuke would probably be the choice.
Russia won’t nuke the US back for this. China won’t nuke the US back for this. Iran doesn’t have nukes, though could do a dirty bomb or something – but that’s not consistent with MAD. Pakistan is cozying up to the US for their war in Afghanistan, and India isn’t highly aligned. There’s no way the EU would nuke the US in retaliation, they’d only deploy them defensively.
As much as I would want, I can’t see Canada or Europe severing all ties with the US or going to war over it, which would be the only acceptable responses.
I do not want the US to do this, they absolutely shouldn’t, but I fear they could do it and it would stir up only a tepid response from protesters and not governments.
Russia nukes Kyiv, China nukes Tokyo, North Korea (assuming delivery capabilities) nukes Seoul, India probably drops nukes on China and Pakistan, etc. It’s the actual Domino Theory people were talking about during the Cold War, they just thought the domino was communism. Once the bandaid gets ripped off and nuclear weapons are an accepted and normalized tool of conventional war, they’re now EVERYONE’S first resort.
Well for one thing, if the US breaks the nuclear armistice then surely russia will point to them as they follow suit.
Then Europe will be in the awkward position of deciding whether retaliation is called for. If they don’t retaliate, putin keeps nuking ukraine. If Europe does retaliate, putin nukes NATO and the world enters a full-scale global war likely ending in nuclear armageddon.
Any use of nuclear weapons in any context will have catastrophic results.
Not that the current “leaders” of the US care about that at all. They’ll hide out in their bunkers while we all fry for their piss poor decisions…
Bro working at Nuclear Missile Command: “I am gonna make so much money on this bet!”
Money that won’t be worth anything moments later.
Collect money, convert to bottle caps.
I have little faith the international community would sufficiently sanction and punish this.
That’s… not exactly what I meant.
And yet you’re both correct.
It’s ok, MAD will take care of it.
