Support NeoGAF

[Abstruse Moose]

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

Must be their first election thread.

 

[jstripes]

I wish I had the skills to put Trump into this:

 

[GitarooMan]

This guy is scary as fuck as president.

 

[Palette Swap]

Of course he's pining for a war to distract from the unprecedented mix of indignity, corruption and inefficiency his administration has been so far.

 

[SpaceWolf]

Genuinely starting to worry about a nuclear holocaust.

 

[Dreadnought]

Oh boy I can't wait to get drafted only to mysteriously encounter some foot pain

 

[Tamanon]

Kelly is really doing a bang-up job of getting him back on track.

 

[Foffy]

Time to get drafted, AmeriGAF.

I think you mean time to go to jail.

I would never support an army led by Trump, and this is before my non violent beliefs.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Invoke the 25th, please.

 

[Dishwalla]

sigh no, don't fucking do this

 

[shiba5]

He still acts like this is reality TV instead of an apocalypse where millions would die.

 

[Fermbiz]

Let's get this war started already!

 

[RinsFury]

Trump scares me far more than any other world leader at this point in time. Worthless old fuck would like nothing more than to push that button, he needs to be stopped.

 

[blackflag]

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 no. It would be ugly and lots of people would die but not they would not take over this country. I mean we might all die including them in a nuclear holocaust but limited to conventional warfare, it would be bad but we won't be speaking Mandarin any time soon.

 

[ascii42]

Oh....

And the MOAB dropped in Afghanistan earlier this year had a yield of 11 tons. So yeah, that's how much more powerful nukes are than non-nuclear weapons.

 

[TheCochese]

Oh boy I can't wait to get drafted only to mysteriously encounter some foot pain

I hear bone spurs are debilitating.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Oh boy I can't wait to get drafted only to mysteriously encounter some foot pain

Just say your gay or transgender

 

[jmdajr]

I just hope it's all shit talking like Kim does.

 

[danthefan]

Can Trump unilaterally decide to fire a nuke at NK?

 

[mreddie]

Fuck...

 

[Albino_Yeti]

Let's ease up on the doomsday hysterics guys. There aren't gonna be any nukes launched. Trump isn't just gonna wake up one day and decide to push the button. And even if he does, the missiles don't automatically fire if he pushes the button. A lot goes into that process, leaving plenty of people with the ability to end the launch.

I also wanna hear the entire statement. Anyone got a link? I feel like he was saying this quote in context of if NK strikes first. As in, if NK launches a nuke at anyone, then they will be met with fire and fury and all that.

 

[~Kinggi~]

You know guys, this isnt some policy change we can look at and be like 'lol Trump aint doing shit' cause congress has to do shit. Trump has surrounded himself with military people who WANT to carry out these types of war orders, and Trump is allowed to solely make that decision.

 

[linkboy]

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.

Me too. I've got a lot of friends that are expats in South Korea.

 

[perfectchaos007]

It's all posturing and I like it. The kim's have been spouting threats for decades with little to no condemnation from the US. I'm glad we finally have a president who actually responds with his own verbal threats. It could be a game changer

 

[Nokterian]

We are all going to die right? Because of this bloody idiot.

 

[Mahonay]

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

And it was capable of yielding 100 megatons.

I don't think there are nukes in service on the level of Tsar Bomba, but it doesn't really matter due to the sheer number of nukes that exist, and ICBMs like the Peacekeeper that can be equipped with 10 nuclear warheads.

 

[jmdajr]

Oh boy I can't wait to get drafted only to mysteriously encounter some foot pain

I hear bone spurs are debilitating.

Just say your gay or transgender

Lol. I wonder how that even works.

Do they need ...proof?

 

[Raylan Targaryen]

Well before you do that, can you at least relocate Trump supporters to major cities. Then move non-Trump supporters to some place no one gives a shit about like Montana or South Dakota

 

[Kill Your Masters]

Can Trump unilaterally decide to fire a nuke at NK?

Yes.

 

[SKINNER!]

Barely into his first term and USA already looking like a crazy dictator nation. These next 8 years are gonna be sooooooo fascinating.

 

[ianpm31]

I have a theory that with the heat turning up on Trump over the investigations I think Trump is likely to attack North Korea around fall or early next year. If he ends the North Korea problem that has been going on for decades his numbers will look better and war time presidents numbers usually rise

 

[rtcn63]

Trump: Rewatch The Wire

 

[Nilaul]

I thought the whole point of a surprise strike is not to announce it early.

 

[Daingurse]

Someone needs to take his fucking phone, and change his damn Twitter password. Jesus Christ.

 

[paragonpro]

So we having an end of the world party on gaf?

 

[antonz]

The Usage of Nuclear Weapons again by the United States would change the world even if it was limited to a small strike in North Korea and didn't expand larger.

It would set a precedent Russia would certainly view itself in full right to strike locations in Syria, Perhaps even in Ukraine and Georgia where its in stages of frozen to active conflicts.

 

[danthefan]

Yes.

Wonderful.

I really don't think it'll come to that but you never know with this idiot.

 

[TheCochese]

Well before you do that, can you at least relocate Trump supporters to major cities. Then move non-Trump supporters to some place no one gives a shit about like Montana or South Dakota

I always wanted to see Montana...

 

[Raiku]

This timeline is trash

 

[Megawarrior]

Time to get drafted, AmeriGAF.

I'll go to jail first.

 

[darscot]

It's all posturing and I like it. The kim's have been spouting threats for decades with little to no condemnation from the US. I'm glad we finally have a president who actually responds with his own verbal threats. It could be a game changer

Is my sarcasm detector broken, or is this just really fucking dumb?

 

[Man with Knife]

I don't know if it will be North Korea or another country, but I feel there's almost no way Trump will finish his presidency without having started a war. Everything points to it, from his rhetoric to his character.

 

[RoKKeR]

Seeing all of these headlines pop up now... I'm honestly a bit in shock. Need to step away from this madness for a while. I can't believe this idiot is our president and would actually verbalize something like this.

 

[GK86]

Can Trump unilaterally decide to fire a nuke at NK?

Yes.

Congress really needs to advance that bill that takes away the Nuke button away from Trump.

 

[Kensation]

It's all posturing and I like it. The kim's have been spouting threats for decades with little to no condemnation from the US. I'm glad we finally have a president who actually responds with his own verbal threats. It could be a game changer

User name checks out.

 

[fastford58]

Someone needs to take his fucking phone, and change his damn Twitter password. Jesus Christ.

Except he said this on video...

 

[Exile20]

Japan or South Korea.

USA, thought I heard they have a missile that can reach us.

 

[UberTag]

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

We should take assurance in the fact that Trump has yet to utter a true statement in his entire life.

 

[Cake Boss]

These 2 idiots are gonna end the world.

 

[Nokterian]

Can Trump unilaterally decide to fire a nuke at NK?

Yes this motherfucker has the nuke codes, this blatant narcissistic, old bigot evil twisted man has launch codes.
