i started to respond but there are so many things wrong with your inane hypothetical i quit a couple paragraphs in. just fucking light up some neurons

Yikes. It took you multiple paragraphs before you understood how goddamn reactionary the Austrian response is. And while you understand it's wrong, you refuse to accept it. Liberal to the core. Please do not vote again for everyone's sake.

Yikes. Normalizing exotic scenarios. My daughter is afraid of thunder, a much more logical and reasonable fear. Any kid that is afraid of going to school because maybe someone will be on the news is a victim of abuse. If you can't trust your fellow man, you can't be trusted to participate in society.

Kids here are afraid to go to school (for good reason),

Why? Who is abusing their kids by trying to convince them that they should be afraid of school?

Do you think that the average person is a killer but the only thing that stops them are the tools they have available?

So it turns out that Iranian air-defenses were even weaker then reported, and their massive response after launching 400+ missiles, was 9 confirmed hits. Meanwhile the latest threat about a memorable strike was wishcasting by the supreme leader.

What a joke. Iran will be the regional whipping boy until the regime changes, or the US collapses. Not sure which will happen first.

If there is no reason for them anymore, because there aren't cars as a form of private transportation then hell yea I'm on board.

Which is a completely irrelevant point here

So if the point isn't to save lives, what is the point?

Also, cars are dangerous AF. Tens of thousands of people die a year because of them. Hence why we have licenses and maintenance rules and an unbelievably extensive road system with clear signals and lights.

And despite all these rules, the number of car deaths is much greater then any other cause of death. It's not a lack of rules that are the problem with cars (nor guns).

Agreed, so we should be building trains which are way faster, safer and environmentally friendly then cars if we actually care about saving lives.

Right it's a law that is on the liberal -> fascist pipeline. They don't want to ban guns (why not?) they just want to make sure that only certain people can have them based on subjective evaluation. How is this good for anyone? It does nothing to prevent things like this in the future. I guess it makes low-information voters feel good?

Wow kneejerk pseudo-science enshrined into law because one person out of 10,000,000 used a gun to kill someone. Do you think if he had used a car instead you'd see a similar response? why or why not?

The people hated him because he told the truth.

There’s a good reason they’re not gonna pick that fight with North Korea.

Hopefully you mean the fact that China would not allow it which is also why North Korea exists in the first place. Because it absolutely isn't North Korea's nuclear capability.

No. Not at all. Nuclear reactions requires a pretty compact geometry. An explosion is the opposite of that. You can irradiate an area, but not cause an actual reaction.

US proxying an Iranian attack with more plausible deniability.

Why does the US care about that aspect. If the US wanted to it could directly attack Iran, and the only thing China or Russia would do is "tsk-tsk" the US. No one is going to bat for Iran, especially against the US.

Iran's response has to be the total destruction of the US Embassy in either Iraq or Israel or they will be a whipping boy for the next 20 years, or until the total collapse of the US Government.

Also recall that the US evacuated it's Iraq Embassy.

I'm certain the US knew now.

I guess the US evacuating it's Iraq embassy indicates that they knew something. Despite Trumps dementia, perhaps someone in his cabinet knew.

In terms of $17billion in funding over the past 4years, sure. In terms of intelligence sharing? Maybe. In terms of tactical/strategic support? I'm doubtful The Whitehouse even knew about until afterwards

e: recalling the embassy evacuation's the US did earlier, I take that back.
