This is deterrence, it just so happens that the United States of Amerikkka doesn’t like it when you limit their options from mass genocide, to “infantry invasion”.

Does deterrence work? It does until it doesn’t. The only country that has ever used nuclear weapons against another country is America, so we’ll never know until it happens again. And when it happens again, there won’t be a society to sort through the evidence and ascertain blame.

This is a good time to remember that Americas nuclear war strategy is to be the largest standing civilization after the ~2 hours of nuclear holocaust. Unironically.

It’s not that it’s a lie, it’s just that that’s basically the only plan you can really come up with other than nuclear disarmament. We have to remember that this is a military plan and militaries all over the globe do not function like computers, they function like Rube Goldberg machines.

I occasionally feel relieved to remember that there is almost no chance most of our nukes still work.

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
