I made this thread a while back but I haven't really decided what country I would wanna nuke. I could only narrow it down to three countries:
China
France
Somalia
China has evolved to be the Big Bad of the World in just a measly 3 years, due to 1) their insufferable need to impose their views on nations via way of economic choking (i.e., withholding funds), and 2) unleashing The Coof on everyone. If I'm being honest, I am still very mad at China, because I could not see someone that I loved dearly on their deathbed, and that is a bitter pill that will leave a foul taste on me for a long time, if not forever. This would be my first candidate. HOWEVER, nuking China would also cripple one of the most efficient trade relations we currently enjoy and despite recent tension, still benefit from. There would also be the consequence of killing well over a billion people, over 1/8th of the world's population. The consequences would be devastating, and I don't know if I could bear the weight of being responsible for that many deaths.
France because their culture is absolute shit and always has been, with how pompous and haughty its citizens are. They do have good food though, and no matter how much I like poking fun at them, I have to give them credit for the French Revolution, where the French gathered their elite class and invented a whole new way to execute them with the guillotine. I only wish the bankers that currently run the world still had that fear from the impact that event had.
Somalia because, lol it's not even a stable country and it's the closest thing to a lawless hellscape we have. Low hanging fruit though - if Somalia doesn't even have a stable government, it's not a threat and would be a waste of a perfectly good nuke.
To make this clear, I have no desire to see any part of the world nuked in reality. This is just a hypothetical scenario of what one would do if they were forced to press the red button.
