Jesus christ I’m getting a bit worried that Bibi’s gonna pop some canned sunshine. Fuck me.

Canned sunshine is the most terrifying and badass name I've ever heard used to describe a nuke.

Does Iran have operational nukes? They'd probably respond in kind. If not, they'd probably launch basically everything they have at Israel.

~~Pakistan has made guarantees that they will retaliate with their nuclear weapons if a nuclear strike occurs on Iran.~~

EDIT: I went to find a source and Pakistan has walked this back and are denying that they ever said it

Well that ups the chances that Israel will use one. That was the one thing I was hoping would stop them

They do not, that’s kind of what this whole deal is about dude. And they’ve been launching what they have at Israel for a few days, it’s not much.

[-] waylandyr@lemm.ee 6 points 1 week ago

It's not much? They broke through the iron dome, that's a bit more than not much my dude.

Even if they don’t have any nukes that they developed themselves, there’s always the possibility they could’ve bought one or two from North Korea…

[-] gcheliotis@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I don’t think they will, but I’ve been thinking that one way Israel could get current and potential future enemies off their back for good would be if they finally showed the world that they do possess nukes and are not afraid to use them, possibly by making an example of someone. I do hope they won’t prove quite so callous.

If that happens (and I hope it doesn’t, but they’re crazy enough to do it), can the west stop supporting them and leave them to their own devices?

The Tangerine Toddler wants to beat him to it

[-] raltoid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah, he seems narcissistic enough that he really doesn't think there would be consequences.

Hopefully there are other people around him who doesn't want the rest of the world aiming everything they have at them.
