It was a good run folks

 

[Lubricus]

How would China react if Trump pushed the button on NK?

They would watch and be very pissed. The fallout would hit north China probably.

 

[FunkyMunkey]

We'd be fucked beyond belief. As in, China would literally take over this country and we would have no way to stop them.

lol oh please. the United States military still has the highest mobility and strike force (and defense) of any super power by far. China is the definition of a paper tiger

 

[kmax]

If we have nuclear weapons, why can't we use them?

Donald J. Trump

 

[SpecX]

bro, what the fuck are you doing


California gaf, Should we move away?

Ugh, I guess I better start planning my escape plan from this state. I was supposed to be spending time in San Diego this weekend too. NK, please aim for LA if you do fire off a missile

this fucking clown lol

 

[adj_noun]

Can the mods give us all gold accounts before the end? I want to go out with a taste of heaven.

One day we wake up and everyone is able to give themselves their own tag.

The ultimate anarchy.

 

[Wolfgunblood Garopa]

Ooh tough talk from Mr. Tough Guy.

 

[Saya]

2-minute man needs only 2-minutes to bring it all down.

 

[whyamihere]

I really don't want to die in a nuclear war. Thanks.

 

[benicillin]

This got me. This got me GOOD.

 

[Extollere]

The world has seen nukes, so uh...

The bombs we have now are way, way more powerful than the ones dropped on Japan.

[Ohnonono]

Dolnad watched Game of Thrones. Now asking for personal Dragon.

 

[3N16MA]

Chester must have had some flamin hot Cheetos.

 

[Psychoward]

Multiple nukes then. Both deployed at NK and targeted elsewhere in retaliation.

The world has seen multiple nukes...


But yes the bombs we have no make Hiroshima and Nagasaki look like child's play which is fucking terrifying

 

[MIMIC]

A well-crafted, measured response.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

The problem is the modern nukes are much, much more powerful than the ones used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. There are also a lot more of them, this combined with an unpredictable leader is a very dangerous combination.

Correct. The largest bomb detonated (Tsar Bomba, by Russia) had a yield of 50,000 kilotons. Nagasaki was 18-23.

 

[Skellig Gra]

We'd be fucked beyond belief. As in, China would literally take over this country and we would have no way to stop them.

We have a bigger military and they'd have to invade via a massive ocean. How exactly would that happen?

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Ugh, I guess I better start planning my escape plan from this state. I was supposed to be spending time in San Diego this weekend too. NK, please aim for LA if you do fire off a missile

TAKE ME WITH YOU

[jbug617]

this dude is really going to start a nuclear war not even a year being president.

 

[Lightning Count]

When Trump got elected I (mostly) seriously said I expected to be dead by the end of the year, but this wasn't the exact trigger I figured was coming. I'd like to say it's been a good ride, but has it?

I don't know that the top military will agree to push the button, but this is terrifying for a million other reasons obviously.

Top military would be obliged to follow his orders and Trump has sole authority to order the strike if he chooses, we can only hope the generals would refuse the order. They would be facing the death penalty, but die as heroes.

 

[TheXbox]

Trump is the only world leader who can match Kim for outrageous threatening rhetoric.

 

[Owzers]

Where's the bride!

 

[Jarrod38]

I really don't want to die in a nuclear war. Thanks.

There will be no nuclear war. I think some folks here need to take a deep breath and relax.

 

[The Last Wizard]

This motherfucker.

 

[Tecnniqe]

Jericho will be safe, GAF meet!

 

[FZZ]

This fuckhead wants to start a war

 

[Blackquill]

Hope we can still made it to the release of DB Fighter Z

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

There will be no nuclear war. I think some folks here need to take a deep breath and relax.

You have to then we remember that we have a president that asked "Why aren't we using them?"

 

[Skinny Pete]

Well this is wonderful.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

BREAKING NEWS: Trump announces development of new Fury Laser weapon which is designed to shoot "yuuuuuuuuge lasers" from space.

 

[ascii42]

The bombs we have now are way, way more powerful than the ones dropped on Japan.

Oh, I know. I just meant that in order for Trump's statement to be true, nukes must be used.

 

[HylianTom]

Look on the bright side: at least we're not stuck worrying about troublesome email server practices..

(To make it clear: Why yes.. yes, I am indeed subtweeting some of y'all who dwelled on this petty-ass concern last year while he was asking repeatedly "why can't we use our nukes?")

 

[RPGCrazied]

Republicans response:

Is repealing Obamacare really worth that much going to war with North Korea?

 

[thelatestmodel]

This fuckhead wants to start a war

He's probably been told wars are good for business and ratings

 

[SJRB]

I'm fairly alarmed here.

 

[linkboy]

Literally terrifying. 25th Amendment, Section IV... please save us.

How can any sane Republican defend a statement like this?

Because they want it.

The GOP don't care about the troops, all they care about is keeping the military industry complex going.

They'll go along with this like they always do, and then try to pass the buck when it's shown to be a complete fuck up (just like Iraq and Afghanistan).

 

[Ushojax]

Top military would be obliged to follow his orders and Trump has sole authority to order the strike if he chooses, we can only hope the generals would refuse the order. They would be facing the death penalty, but die as heroes.

If Trump ever ordered a nuclear strike against military advice then the 25th amendment would almost certainly be invoked.

 

[fluffydelusions]

There will be no nuclear war. I think some folks here need to take a deep breath and relax.

Dude literally said we have nukes why can't we use them

 

[Exile20]

So a missile would hit the west or east coast?

 

[friskykillface]

Trump declaring war on Twitter would be saved for millions of years

 

[Peltz]

Correct. The largest bomb detonated (Tsar Bomba, by Russia) had a yield of 50,000 kilotons. Nagasaki was 18-23.

Oh....

 

[Mark L]

Is this presidency canon?

 

[Tetsujin_MK]

I don't want to see fire and fury in my lifetime

 

[smurfx]

i'm not even worried about NK ever really doing anything to the u.s but i am afraid for SK and japan if trump pisses NK enough for them to do something. i don't think we would really start a full scale war to defend them.

 

[Cat Party]

So a missile would hit the west or east coast?

Japan or South Korea.

 

[~Kinggi~]

There will be no nuclear war. I think some folks here need to take a deep breath and relax.

This is an uninformed and naive response during the Trump presidency.

 

[alr1ght]

And he probably just wants to use nuking NK as a way to get his poll numbers up. He needs to go yesterday.

 

[Dierce]

Orange turd is both a moron and a coward. Starting a war takes effort, he won't do shit. Like always it's just the idiot that he is talking tough which is just what his racists piece of shit supporters like.
