Nuking yourselves is fine.
Now if some other country was to, well that’s end of the world.
Of course the British nuked Australia and we don’t hold that against them so maybe ….
- arethuza 11mo agoThe UK also nuked the US 24 times https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_nuclear_testing_in_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_nuclear_testing_in_the... Then there was that thing where RAF bombers pretended to bomb US cities... which had to be hushed up as it made it clear that US air defence systems weren't nearly as good as the public had been told.
- andrewstuart 11mo agoIt’s all good. It’s ok to nuke yourself and your allies. What’s not ok is to nuke your adversaries - that is frowned upon strongly.
- lazide 11mo agoWell, mostly only if they have nukes. Or someone with nukes is downwind of it. Or someone with nukes might get nervous you’re nuking people.
- arethuza 11mo agoOr if you have a meeting to practise talking about nuking people, the people who you are talking about nuking might think you are actually going to nuke them and nuke you before you nuke them.
- lazide 11mo agoWell, nuking someone with nukes already is of course silly. You’ve got to nuke them before they have a chance to nuke you back! (/s, but that is the thinking)
