Iran Crisis & the 2026 War between Iran and the United States, Gulf States, and Israel - Please focus on news and coverage, not argumentation.

We have an extremely reliable nuclear program. Every airman sitting in a missile bunker has been audited to the point that they'd just assume a real launch was just another audit. Fake nuclear strikes are ordered all the time as a part of the Air Force's Personnel Reliability Program, and I can only imagine how many times they've "pushed the button" in the last month.

Everyone outside of the tippy top would be unaware they actually nuked someone until they saw it on the news.

They drill this into the ground.

Yes, that's the guys in the bunker next to the silo. How about the commanders giving the order? That was probably the point being made.

Launching a nuclear strike, cannot be based on one person's decision. It's not even in the fucking 3rd world of Russia, Putin doesn't have the red button all to himself.

The president does not unilaterally decide nuclear targets. STRATCOM and JCS give nuclear options to the president when they are applicable, and if he chooses an option there is nobody in a position to both know that it is a real strike and stop him from doing it.
 
A crippled IRGC that cannot move men or equipment efficiently also cannot quash an armed and supplied uprising.

Ultimately that uprising is up to the Iranians, if it fails or never materializes then that's tough shit. We're just there to fuck up the regime and take their toys away.

The decadent easterners have proven they don't deserve freedom.
 
Why are you taking this comment from "unnamed source" from the Guardian of all places about nukes so seriously.
The Guardian is globohomo's Tim Pool. Every article is breathless panic-porn for liberals. I don't know who in their right mind takes that jizzrag seriously.
Do you think we will see any pilots refusing orders?
LOL no, that faggot Mark Kelly got put on blast for even attempting to suggest it.

I like how some people think that it's just this button on the side of a president's desk that he can drunkenly hit. There are so many protocols and people that have to approve it solely for the reason to ensure that cooler heads prevail.
Although I like the idea that they gave Trump a phone and said that it goes to the guy with all the nukes and it just goes to JD Vance's office, and whenever that phone rings he puts a napkin in his mouth to change his voice and pretends to be some general with a nuke who launches a bomb wherever Trump tells him to. :story:

Did we all travel back in time to 2003? We're bombing Baghdad hard tonight.
 
My sources told me we're bombing literally everything in Iran tonight while Sidney Sweeny cooks me a steak while only wearing an apron. CNN ain't got nothing on me when it comes to sources.
Didn't the americans move a bunch of shit around today? Doesn't sound like they expect a deal.
 
I remember reading a random /pol/ poster talk about his alleged experience in bootcamp where, when asked to give a strategy on how to defeat Iran, he proposed a genocide as the only possible path. He was given an "no uncertain terms" warning that he would be expelled if he ever said that again.

I wonder where he is now
