| I think dropping a nuke is not out of question. We just have to watch the language of the U.S administration over the next weeks. |

| It's very hard to imagine nuclear weapons being used in this conflict. |

| ▲ | 4gotunameagain 2 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | Is it? Israel is a rogue state at this point, and it has openly stated that were the US to withdraw, they would use "any means necessary". They seem to not be satisfied by causing global economic harm, they want nuclear annihilation as well. | | |
| ▲ | Gud 2 days ago | parent | next [-] | | If they do, they will be exterminated. There is no timeline where Israel comes out victorious if they start using nuclear weapons. | | | |

| yeah, I think this will escalate further and US might drop a tactical one on some island (military but not heavily inhabited) as a show of power. I don't see a way back out otherwise for US. |

| ▲ | cosmicgadget a day ago | parent [-] | | The US doesn't need to show power. Using nukes is all downside. | | |
| ▲ | hariharan_uno a day ago | parent [-] | | Normally yes, but this is the Suez canal moment for US. I think countries stopped caring about US especially in the last year and starting reducing dependence on US economically and politically. So, the unpredictable Trump may try to do something dramatic. China will be the biggest winner of this all. | | |
| ▲ | cosmicgadget 20 hours ago | parent [-] | | The world sentiment is to deintegrate with the US - something Trump campaigned on - and so he is going to do something dramatic? And that dramatic thing is to use nuclear weapons? Just no. Stop this. |

| What would that gain? |

| ▲ | thefounder 18 hours ago | parent [-] | | I think they will settle that Iran won’t reuse whatever they have of that nuclear fuel if the U.S drops the nukes on the Iranian nuclear sites. Iran may also think twice before rejecting a deal in which they agree to not acquire a nuclear weapon. |
