US senator says Israel should drop nuclear bombs on Gaza

it's an important distinction, between Christian-Zionism and Israeli-Zionism that seems to be lost or purposely obscured by democrats:

• Israeli-Zionism is settler-colonial and wants to exterminate the indigenous...
• Christian-Zionism wants the entire world to burn in a nuclear Holocaust right after Jesus comes back in a magic Ford SUV and drives all 1200 people at their specific megachurch to heaven, where they can eagerly watch everyone else writhe in agony forever.

imagine forming a coalition with the heavily armed and powerful people who pray for your eternal torment.

I... would still consider that fascism.

Regardless, I would think even then he'd understand why Israel wouldn't want to nuke something right next to them. Fuck why not advocate for nuking Iran that at least seems a bit more plausible and just as likely to lead to the end times.

Palestinians are just an inconvenience.

/s

I doubt he even believes that Christofascist line.

I figure he just promotes it for his base.

Polonium?

That's as much a matter of isolating the person as shrinking the yield

Comically tiny nuke.

World's Smallest Nuclear Bomb from MDK

I'm willing to support the senator being used as a test subject to determine if it's possible

Well, a nuke is a sphere of c4 wrappy around a couple of pieces of plutonium, so if we're not to hung up on the nuclear explosion part then yes.

:muppets-bunson: "In the saline solution inside this syringe floats the smallest nuclear bomb known to science! ...At least I hope it is, as it is invisible to the naked eye."

Give Lindsey Graham a demon core

Any existing nuclear weapon would work for that, just drop it on him without detonating it.

why don't we have :fucking-aquaman:

this is loss

To who, Lindsey, the fucking radroaches??

Yes they do, but the US government has never acknowledged that fact bc if they did Israel would be subject to penalties under nonproliferation treaties

There's a true anon episode on it, rogue state

They don't have long range missiles. They can't hit anything outside of europe and the M.E. They're not ending the world, they'll just fuck up parts of it.

Irreparably damage the NATO bloc, maybe.

it's funny how they tried to make us quake in fear over the threat of "rouge states" (aka North Korea, Iran, once Iraq, libya, now russia) all of them, besides Russia, don't have the capability of ending civilization and unlike Russia, dont have a policy specifically to do it as a big "fuck you" to the rest of the world if they don't get their way

i'm seriously, 100% scared deep in my bones israel will do a Samson-option like strike if they undergo a sudden internal collapse, which at this point is far more likely then the U.S. the U.S., while not having this policy, i do believe would absolutely do the same thing which is why i am far more leery about calls for civil war or balkanization because i fear for the rest of the world

but israel keeps me up at night. if the concept of a true "rouge state" to the international order or whatever was real every nation on earth would be forming a coalition to invade and pacify israel and use a massive combined special operations mission to secure the nukes and kill/capature all their political and military leadership. like a joint global U.N. military operation the likes the world has never seen. blockades, deployment of every anti-missile weapon system known to man, total communicaiton blackouts, and possibly even preemptive nuclear decapitation strikes with stealth cruise missiles.

whatever it takes. we unite against this threat.

but instead the west pretends this nation with 300+ secret fission-fusion weapons is moral and rational

sometimes i wonder if there is a more "realist" minority contingent in the U.S. military-political blob that is letting israel do whatever it wants and keeps them placated not out of ideological commitment to zionist but knowing they have a rabid and violent animal on a rusting chain and know they can do nothing to stop it

Trouble is, he might be …but some daft arse will take it seriously.
