As yes nuking a territory right next to your own holdings that you intend to occupy after conquering. Surely settlers will want to move into irradiated land and the winds will never blow east towards Tel Aviv!
Fascists aren’t even good at doing fascism, Jesus!
You misunderstand. He’s not trying to do fascism, he’s a member of the evangelical Christian doomsday cult cheering for the apocalypse.
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’ve had a couple of frustrating experiences lately trying to explain what a vile, empty mockery of religion Christian Fascists are and to no one’s surprise Europeans who have never dealt with them face to face are unable to accept my explanations and insist that i’m mistaken and there must be hidden depths and human sentiment there.
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.
Evangelicals don’t give a damn about Israel or Jews in general, so I don’t think he’s really taking their motivations or longevity into account. They (evangelicals) believe the existence of the nation of Israel and its subsequent total destruction are prerequisites for the Christian apocalypse/rapture. That’s his only goal. I sorta agree that viewing this through a “fascism” lens isn’t really helpful for understanding how people like Lindsey Graham think.
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.
Wait, if that’s the case why does it take massive teams of scientists to develop a nuke? I could duck tape some plutonium to a brick of C4 if I didn’t care about getting cancer.
Any existing nuclear weapon would work for that, just drop it on him without detonating it.
lindsey doesn’t understand how real estate works
irradiated beach front properties.
But Israel doesn’t have nukes :thonk:
Edit: just watched the clip, graham says we should “give them the bombs they need to win this war”
What a vile pig person
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
Side note, would they really be subject to ANY penalties?
I keep hearing about these agreements these nations have signed and Never Ever Ever Ever EVER see any consequences of any impact
Oh you stole 100m dollars from your employees? 6.2m dollar fine type head ass shit
