    but imagine if they did, wow, history would absolutely be completely different and they'd still be in power

    speaking of which, pretty sure he's turning Iran to sand after the elections, he'll have nothing left to lose and US is only country to ever use nuclear weapons on a million innocent civilians, twice, so why stop now?

    we're out of other weapons except these which seems wildly illegal to use especially on civilians

    Imagine if Putin was using those on Ukraine civilians but US uses them no problem?

      Why do you think that anyone here considers US use to be &quot;no problem&quot;?

        I read your parent to be saying the opposite. That more people would be upset if Putin were using weapons like these, but no one cares when the US does. (Speaking of the Lockheed PSM, not nukes.)

          I think it&#x27;s pretty clear that ck2 was talking about using nukes.

            Yes, obviously they were talking about nukes in the beginning of the comment, but not in the part you referenced before.

            Emphasis mine.
