I wish this was an inflated title but no, he really said this.
America, you need to get rid of this asshole ASAP.

Thanks @notarobot@lemmy.zip
President of peace.
Express Lane to heaven.
Can someone just tell him no one else has nuclear fusion power stations yet but (china|EU|Russia) are close and how much money it would make.
It would make money at a country level, but does it fill his personal wallets like the oil industry?
So it’s worthless for him
Yup. He doesn’t care about this country.
It only matters if it makes money for him. Someone wealthy and interested in cracking nuclear fusion would need to be giving him a payout.
Build it in mar a Lago and pay some rent
Choose one…global warming or nuclear winter. I think that is our futures only options.
There’s always the mass-extinction asteroid option to look forward to.
He’s been itching to nuke something since his first term. Hurricanes, he suggested at one point. And Americans voted him into office twice. Fucking morons.
Some Americans voted for him 3 times!
Seriously, imagine how fucking dumb you would have to be to fill out three separate ballots over nearly a decade voting for a failed reality TV star.
Now imagine those who want to not have to vote anymore and let him run forever
usa is cooked as usual
Some Americans voted for him 3 times!
so far…
The real crazy people who would cause a nuclear wae are israel and the usa leaders not Iran
lol imagine simping for the irgc
I am not simping. Iran isn’t seeking nukes by american admission. I never justified Iran human right abuses.
Seeing how he likes to demolish parts of the White House perhaps the first test could be on the West Wing, with him being in the Oval Office?
That guy is an absolute fud! He sees some other moron do it, and thinks he has to do it too so he looks “alpha”… Talk about your beta bitches, jesus christ.
Unless I’m mistaken Russia has way more nukes than the US still.
Your probably not and Trump is definitely an idiot.

does anyone know how many of those are operational?
deleted by creator
No, and we probably never will. The Russian government certainly doesn’t. When the invasion of Ukraine proper started, a lot of their equipment failed or was missing, and the military wasn’t aware. It had been sold off or just not maintained by the people in charge of it.
I’m certain the same thing has happened with the nuclear arsenal. The only time it will be used is if you already lost, so what’s the point in spending money on keeping it operational over just having the appearance of it being operational. Your enemy can’t know the difference (especially if you don’t) and it’d be bad to bet on it failing, so it serves exactly the same purpose regardless.
Why would any country need that many? I mean having any is stupid because it will always end in mutually assured destruction but with that many, you could kill us all if you were on the verge of one hitting you.
Stupid, legacy calculus but calculus none the less. During the Cold war both sides recognized that a direct or near direct hit on a launch site could potentially negate any chance for retribution or follow up attacks in an otherwise limited/not all out scenario. So they counted the delivery mechanism they could identify, did some multiplication to account for misses and defenses and came up with a number. Then the other side noticed the build up, comes up with same general calculus and runs the same general math to decide how many they need. And this the goes back and forth for decades where each side is building up counters to their rivals counters. And the numbers we have now are actually a reduction from the peak of the Cold war build up.
thankfully we at least halted that trend for a while with early warning systems: no longer launch all your nukes and you might take out all of theirs… launch all your nukes and by the time they arrive the retaliatory ICBMS will be 5min from hitting their own targets; likely right on top of you… launch an ICBM and you’re fucked
It is mutually-assured destruction. The idea is that there are enough nukes to end all life on earth. Because if there are that many nukes, then nobody would ever use them.
That’s how the US and USSR came up with these figures when they were disarming at the end of the Cold War.
pointless counting. all they need each is a dozen.
And who, exactly, is going to get paid to do that? Last I saw 75% of them were furloughed at the moment.
Don’t worry, there will be a company popping up tied to some Republicunts who’ll do the testing for “cheap”.
I’m NGL If my job put in the position to be the one testing nukes it would be very tempting to do so even without pay just on a ‘oonga boonga big boom’ basis. Unfortunately I’m educated enough to know how awful that is for the environment, also not a nuclear test engineer or whatever the job title even is.
Is he unstable enough for the 25th amendment yet? Asking for a friend.
He’s been unstable enough for that, for 9 years
He’s currently in his stable genius arc so we’re out of luck.
This dumbass couldn’t tell you what nuclear testing was if you explained it to him like he was 5

A giant waste of money. 800 nukes is plenty for pretty much anything and launching 100 would probably mean the end of life as we know it on planet earth. If you wanted to blow a bunch of money on the military there are better ways to do it.
100 would probably mean the end of life as we know it on planet earth
It would alter the course of human history for sure, but it wouldn’t actually end human civilization. Just being annoyingly pedantic after growing up in the cold war and learning about such cheerful topics as fallout patterns and blast wave radius and how to fashion air purifiers from an early age.

Ohh we got you fam.
True, but don’t tell them that, it’s better if they waste money on useless nuclears than genocide technology.

Do you mean 100 all at once? Because we’ve been averaging 26.5 per year for the last 80 years
Hmm I don’t think so. If it is true those are over the ocean or something. I mean an attack with 100 missiles would destroy nearly any country. Russia is especially vulnerable because they only have a couple of cities with any population in them. Modern nukes are 50-75x the yield of the ones they dropped on Japan. There are all kinds of externalities. They can poison the ground water for generations. They can kill any life feeding in the area. They can cause fallout which is like a radioactive dust cloud covering everything. It isn’t good.
Do you want me to link the wiki article? We’ve exploded 2121 nukes since 1945
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nuclear_weapons_tests
Does the ocean not count as the earth? I don’t see how you go from exploding 100 nukes will end all life on earth to over the ocean doesn’t matter
Also, does 1962 count as modern for you?
You are misunderstanding what I wrote. I’m aware that setting nukes off over the ocean won’t end all life in earth. I never said that tho and you might have me mixed up with someone else. I said that it will end life as we know it and it absolutely will, setting nukes off over cities will cause radioactive fallout, as well as destroy power grids, the internet infrastructure. It will poison the water. You have to also remember that it will short out the hundreds of nuclear power plants potentially leading to meltdowns, unless they are fail safe designs. I don’t think most plants are designed to withstand an emp. Either way a nuclear war would likely mean a reset for human civilization. If you don’t believe this then I’m not going to waste my time trying to convince you otherwise.

Sorry. Will try to do better next time.
All good. Remember that this kind of apocalyptic events should not spread as heresay to avoid things getting twisted, cofused, people claiming its fake. Etc
Wow I’ve never been to truth social before. I had a pop up add for a necklace with sand Jesus walked on, pillows and towels and a trump elf on a shelf.
