He will be brought back into line by the oligarchs. There has already been talk of Gaza being prime beachfront land. They definitely don’t want it radioactive ☢️.

    Lol you all entirely missed my point.
    
    My point is that the total gigatons of bombs that they’ve dropped on Gaza is quite likely quite similar to the power of the original nuclear bombs. Modern nukes are obviously vastly more powerful. I also may be still vastly underestimating the power of the original bombs but my point was ultimately about how much of Gaza they’ve already razed with bombs.

  No… pretty sure any use of a nuclear weapon in the modern world would result in mass notifications to millions of peoples phones globally within minutes. Plus every government on the planet would be scrambling to make sure they’re defended against another bomb and preparing a response

    I reckon the quick influx of messages would quickly break a lot of the internet
