Comment on Iran includes American tech giants on list of new targets
echodot@feddit.uk 1 week agoI’m pretty sure the rest of the world wouldn’t need to do anything. Nato isn’t particularly pro-Iran either so they’d probably be very unhappy with the US, but not actually unhappy enough to do anything about it. Maybe some trade sanctions.
I highly doubt NATO would consider it a sensible response to nuke the US.

Right! I agree with you!
So, DT can drop a nuke (or 3, to, you know, be the best), obliterate Iran, and no one bats an eye.

Oh no there would absolutely be responses, but not to the level of military retaliation as he was suggesting.
China would definitely use it as an excuse to build up their nuclear stockpile and the nuclear test ban treaty would be in tatters.
It would also result in a lot of civil unrest in the US which could spiral into a civil war. To be honest though I can’t really see the US surviving until the end of the century regardless, there’s just too much hate and division there and neither the republicans nor the democrats have ever attempted to fix major societal issues.

Yeah, the US will definitely be balkenized. There at least two different types of peoples trying to live on the land, many more when Indigenous tribes are considered.
