Just want to get some perspective on what people think of the American reaction. I’m NOT asking if it will happen. I’m asking what do you think Americans will do, if anything if this happens. Do you think people will just not care or protest on the streets?
Edit: What would your reaction would be? (even if not American)
lol americans wont do shit as usual ahahaha!
I’d book the very first flight out of this shithole before nukes start dropping over here.
Will they though? Israel certainly wants us to think Iran is 2 weeks away from developing nuclear weapons… But does Iran actually have nukes? I suspect the CIA and/or Mossad might know if anyone outside of Iran’s leadership does. But given that there was a treaty between the US and Iran till Trump decided to break it and neither Obama nor Biden had any issue with Iran (after said deal by Obama), I suspect that Iran might even have been upholding its end of the deal until Trump’s shenanigans.
Neither Russia nor China will nuke the US on Iran’s behalf. China would never do a nuclear first strike against US and Putin would likely only do it (and potentially be overridden by officers with consciences) if he sees he’s going to be deposed for fucking up with the war in Ukraine in which case he might decide to just destroy the entire world. Or he might not, who the fuck knows. But I doubt he’d do it just for Iran’s sake.
A false flag dirty bomb is the most likely trigger, and im sure Trump would love to order an ICBM strike.
Oh for sure, Trump would love to nuke Iran. I hope it doesn’t happen, but there’s no guarantees with him.
I’m just saying that the potential for fallback on Americans on US soil is… minimal.
It’s not going to happen. I don’t think you understand how nukes work nor the long term ramifications.
I’m sure myyass can educate me
lol reading that is like my name choices for ocarina of time.
Nothing, absolutely nothing. Just look at the state America is in now. Epstein island, Trump president and ICE to name a few. Nothing much is happening.
So why would this particular event change anything? I don’t think Americans will do anything unless their own country is in immediate threat of being nuked and then again, most probably will just shout in void on the internet.
A majority of Americans appear to be mouth breathing knuckle draggers who enjoy watching blood sports and being aggressive toward minorities and foreigners.
So the reaction would probably be generally favorable.
I wonder how you came to that conclusion
As an American I sadly have to agree.
“How would the world react to USA nuking Iran?”
“As an American I would say America would react well to America nuking Iran.”
Happy September 11th everyone!
How do you think Americans will react if USA drops a Nuke on Iran?
They’re okay with dropping the equivalent of dropping over 6 nukes on a concentration camp with over 50% child population, why wouldn’t they be okay with dropping a few on what they’ve been raised to believe is the big bad wolf?
As a American, we wouldnt even care. Maybe 2-3 days of news, maybe a few protests. But that’s it.
I’m being real.
We had a crazy person do a school shooting on a elementary school called Sandy Hook.
We had cops drop actual bombs on citizens in West Philadelphia.
Remember when America bombed that country and killed thousands of civilians? Are you going “which one”? Cambodia. Vietnam. Iraq. Iran. Hell, Iran’s bombing had literal school children.
We wouldn’t care.
Yes we would care. Wtf is wrong with you? It would be horrifying.
You would care, I suspect the person you replied to would care and naturally millions of others would, but I think your country at large is capable of forgetting atrocities really quickly if they didn’t happen on your soil.
For like three days until some random celeb takes up the news or Trump renamed diapers to America or whatever deranged shit.
The move bombing is a bad example given the fact they were in their second shootout with the police and had fortified the building specifically to repel the cops after making about a dozen credible bomb threats including fake bombs.
Yes the police over reacted but that situation was not entirely one sided like the rest of your examples.
The police never needed to be involved in the first place as far as Move goes. If they’d de-escalated it wouldn’t have been the problem they created. So it pretty much was one-sided.
They planted fake bombs and called in bomb threats an armed response is sensible.
Yes the police over reacted
an armed response is sensible.
Pick one.
Showing up armed and ready is distinctly different then continually escalating to a gunfight, a bombing and a subsequent fire they allowed to burn down a whole neighborhood, correct?
Stop being obtuse.
Obtuse? You describe what the police did, yet point the finger at Move? I’m not sure you know what “obtuse” means, you’re arguing in circles.
They admitted to building a self defined bunker with self defined gunports before the police were called but no no, clearly the people making and planting fake bombs had no reason for the police to show up.
There’s disliking police with good reason and there’s being a fucking absurdist you appear to be the latter.
I had said this about a year ago, but i strongly believe that one country (US, Russia, Israel, etc) will get a “one free nuke” pass. Way too much time has passed since WW2 and though people know what it does, the visceral feeling isn’t there.
The first one to drop one will receive a lot of condemnation, sanctions and hand wringing but that will be it. Now if a second one is dropped by any nation, that will most likely trigger an armed conflict.
But right now, countries have become too passive about physical action and would not know how to react.
I thought the point of this entire thing was Iran can’t have nukes. Now we drop it on them and give them a live demonstration?
Giving the enemy righteous justification to attack us, and then acting shocked, is core American geopolitics.
Well, we ARE the bad guys.
The same reaction when the US dropped non-nuclear bombs on Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Lebanon, Palestine, Afghanistan, Serbia, Bosnia… not only from this president. Americans don’t care about anything, they only care about money and how (dropping bombs on other people) will affect their income/taxes, nothing more. Non-Americans will protest (pro-Western people, whatever that means), some will call for a holy war against the devil-loving US, some will say nothing hoping they will be the next to do something similar (you know who), and the rest will simply be silenced.
If it means cheap gas, a few million will have to die.
Schumer will write a strongly worded memo complaining that it was just one nuke and not 50, and that the US must send monetary aid to Israel because they might get some radiation from our nukes. And, some rallies will be held in which ICE beats protesters en masse and kills a few. Same as always.
The world will gasp and rend their garments. The usa will see this as winning a sports game of some sort.
Pssst, murica already lost the war with Iran,
Not yet. This is not over until the US/world economy collapse or USA regains control of the strait. I agree with you that the war is lost, but Americans don’t know it yet because everything seems normal…
They know it, but refuse to see the truth.
You can’t blame them, it’s because of too many Hollywood movies
Most Americans literally do not know.
Mainstream news won’t report on any of our bases being attacked. Our government, as well as governments of countries in which our bases are located, is suppressing any information about those attacks.
I just met a guy from Bahrain who said people who took photos or video of the base there were getting arrested, phones confiscated, etc. It’s not in our news at all, and the military won’t release any information other than saying the base is currently inoperable.
They’d vote Trump in for a third term.
I think about 30% of the population would be exhilarated and rally around a false sense of righteous power. About 60% would be absolutely aghast and would make a lot of noise for a few weeks. Then they’d gradually settle into the comfort of being indignant without actually changing anything. After a while the American people would continue doing the same thing they’ve done for the last eight decades: inflicting violence on everyone for the enrichment of a few privileged oligarchs.
What about the last 10%? Unaware?
There will be another toilet paper shortage, I can tell you that much
