could nuclear warfare be totally viable as long as you dont use it on other nuclear nations and dont talk about it? modern explosive lenses/neutron reflectors and electronics mean much of the drawbacks of primitive fission bombs arent there anymore.for certain kinds of targets the amount of chemical-explosive strikes you'd need to replace 1 nuclear strike is staggering
>>64218533What percentage of the population is retarded enough to think the presence of depleted uranium means NOOOKKK
>>64218545>The International Atomic Energy Agency’s director-general, Rafael Mariano Grossi, previously told The Associated Press that some of Syria’s activities “were, in the judgment of the agency, probably related to nuclear weapons.”
Yeah absolutely. Its not a question of effectiveness though, its a matter of escalation. Even if you're using them on mooks nobody gives a fuck about, you're still normalizing nuke use; and even if your keep it low yield, others might not and then its only a matter of time before two nuclear powers have an argument and start slinging bombs.
>>64218533Nuclear breakout by every nation state with a domestic civilian nuclear program is only kept in check by international norms and pressure. Using a nuclear weapon on a non-nuclear state would incite everyone who could to breakout, raising the risk of conflict involving nuclear weapons dramaticallyYou also cannot take any sort of discussion of this in a political vacuum, as you'd probably come under conventional strike or dramatically increased overt support by the enemies' nuclear state backers and sanctions from your own allies, who probably don't want to see massive amounts of nuclear proliferation.
>>64218551Yes, an undeclared nuclear reactor. Not a nuclear bomb used.Israel KNEW there was a nuclear reactor there, and they bombed it irresponsibly.
>>64218592probably shouldn't have put a nuclear reactor there if it was going to get bombed, silly syrians
>>64218599By that logic, humanity shouldn't have allowed the Jews to exist beyond the first century AD. If you know a thing is going to be a long-term danger, it should be removed in advance, right?
>>64218613i don't know, the juden haven't built any nuclear reactors in places that were then bombedbut yes, syrians should be all removed so that they don't build any more nuclear reactors in the path of incoming bombs
>>64218592The israelis went out of their way to bomb Iraq's nuclear program decades earlier and that was a much more difficult mission. Did the dumbasses in Syria expect Israel not to bomb theirs? That's on Syria for either not putting in an isolated location, keeping it properly protected from the IAF, and/or not building it at all.
>>64218635The Zionist cries out in pain as he bombs you, or something.
Maybe the rest of the Arab world should stop being such belligerent subhumans
>>64218648>the jew cries out in pain as he bombs youthey don't really seem to cry out in pain while they are doing it tho
>>64218533Everybody's going to know if you set a nuke off. They cause distinctive seismic shocks that can be detected halfway around the planet. That's how we know Best Korea's first attempt was a fizzle, and the second one wasn't.And no, even modern nukes aren't "clean" unless you set them off several thousand feet up or the same distance underground. More importantly, the taboo is there for a reason: once someone pops one, the odds of everybody else considering their use goes up.
>>64218533it automatically labels you hostis humani generiswhich every jew is
>>64218533No. Once you do that, all non-nuclear states will turn nuclear. To stop that, you have to nuke them too. Eventually you nuked a client state of a nuclear country and MAD ensues.
>>64218545A depressing amount, seeing how many times a half-decent explosion gets labeled as noooks
>>64218592Israeli commandos went and collected air and soil samples which confirmed the reactor hadn't been fueled yet, before they bombed it. >>64218613If you hate Jews just be honest that you wish Syria had successfully built nuclear weapons. Instead, you're clutching pearls about muh contamination like a weasel.
>>64218545a large enough percentage that this is the farthest that we can go>>64218533we used nukes on Japan, BEFORE we really knew how bad they were for the environmentdo people care? nothey still buy into the>HURR DURR WARCRIMEmeme, which violates all understanding of sine lege praevia, causality, and the fucking arrow of timethis is the kind of mala fide / sheeple / complete retards that we are dealing withand you're saying here>just the nuclear tip?lmaolol
>>64218533No, because despite modern nuclear weapons throwing off exponentially less radiation than the two used on Japan, the radiation released would still be detected by many nations either downwind or in the vicinity of the "victim" nation
>>64218613
>>64219637>sine lege praeviatell that to the judges of the Nurenberg trails
>>64219634What's wrong with Syria having nuclear weapons? Its using them that's a problem correct? Many nations just have them, nations should have the "right to hear arms" too right?
>>64219683>Jews are liars and a minority control freak that wants special privileges while humiliating honest folk who speak out against their blatant behavior. Nigga understand the stereotype you are defending against before hubris posting
>>64219777I said nothing for or against Syria having nuclear weapons, you just pretended to clutch pearls about environmental contamination when Israel - who has a lot against Syria having nuclear weapons - stopped them from having nuclear weapons, and you're still being obtuse about it. Just spell it out; you want someone to nuke Israel.
Syrians will now blame all their birth defects from fucking blood relatives, on DU like the Iraqis do
>>64218533Depleted uranium scaring is unironically a psyop by Russia and China because they use tungsten rounds. I know everyone says everything is a psyop but this is a pretty obvious one that's been a thing at least since the gulf war
>>64219951>Depleted uranium scaring is unironically a psyop by Russia and ChinaDepleted uranium is still radioactive and toxic you retarded shill
>>64219963>still radioactiveYeah, in the same way that a banana is radioactive
>>64219963It's toxic to the kidneys if you're retarded enough to try and inhale a shit ton of it (a comically large amount) and that's literally all of the proven data so far. Anything about low level exposure has yet to be proven for decades
>>64219729>um, we didn't know genocide, cannibalisation, and perfidy was, um, le bad
>>64219634Arabs are incompetent. Israel could have taken that facility with manpower easily instead of blowing uranium all over the place.
>>64218533All warfare tactics are "viable" until someone stops it. Firebombing Dresden and Tokyo was "viable." Mustard gas was "viable." Smallpox blankets were "viable." War is only limited by the artificial lines that someone made up.
>>64219992Natural potassium contains only 0.012% of potassium-40, itself a weakly radioactive isotope. The DU dust is pretty much all U-238. Not comparable. That said, as long as it doesn't get into the food chain i'd rather not worry.
>>64220827The reactor hadn't been fueled yet, none of it's fuel (natural U-238, magnox-based design) had been enriched into plutonium. If Syria had started the enrichment process, then there would have been a contamination risk.
>first post guillotines the thread>the retards keep talking as if nothing ever happened
