"as far as anti-Zionism goes, I don't think nukes are the way to go. The blast and remaining radiation would most likely kill things that shouldn't be killed."

Will Israel listen to you?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samson_Option

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dahiya_doctrine

You are letting them outbluff you. Israel will only be destroyed when we do not care about any number of deaths so long as strategically sufficient Jewish deaths are included in that number.

As a True Leftist, I think in terms of poetic justice. It is profoundly unfair that the end of the nuclear era can arrive in such a way that the very civilization which invented nukes can avoid getting hit by any, while only those which had nothing to do with bringing nukes into the world are those to have been hit by them. For poetic justice, the end of the nuclear era (which I too long for) must be preceded by nuclear strikes on Western targets.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_Szilard

Quote
Leo Szilard (/ˈsɪlɑːrd/; Hungarian: Szilárd Leó [ˈsilaːrd ˈlɛoː]; born Leó Spitz; February 11, 1898 – May 30, 1964) was a Hungarian-German-American physicist and inventor. He conceived the nuclear chain reaction in 1933, patented the idea of a nuclear reactor with Enrico Fermi in 1934, and in late 1939 wrote the letter for Albert Einstein's signature that resulted in the Manhattan Project that built the atomic bomb.
...
Born as Leó Spitz in Budapest, Kingdom of Hungary, on February 11, 1898. His middle-class Jewish parents

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Teller

Quote
Edward Teller (Hungarian: Teller Ede; January 15, 1908 – September 9, 2003) was a Hungarian-American theoretical physicist who is known colloquially as "the father of the hydrogen bomb",
...
Ede Teller was born on January 15, 1908, in Budapest, Hungary (then part of Austria-Hungary), into a Jewish family.

The only countries I have so far called for nuking, although for other reasons, happen to be precisely Hungary and Israel. Poetic justice would be satisfied with these two targets alone. But should Israel respond with the Samson Option, I would have no poetic justice problem with Britain and France being hit by Israeli nukes:

Quote
The film reveals how France helped Israel on its nuclear programme in exchange for support in the Suez War. In the mid-1950s, relations between the two countries were warming because of their shared anxiety over burgeoning nationalist movements in North Africa.
...
The agreement with France was unprecedented. Until then, no country had supplied another with the means for developing a nuclear capability.

Quote
The UK supplied Israel with quantities of plutonium while Harold Wilson was prime minister, BBC Newsnight can reveal.
...
Under Wilson, Britain also sold Israel tons of chemicals used to make boosted atom bombs 20 times more powerful than Hiroshima or even Hydrogen Bombs.

In Harold Macmillan's time the UK supplied uranium 235 and the heavy water which allowed Israel to start up its nuclear weapons production plant at Dimona - heavy water which British intelligence estimated would allow Israel to make "six nuclear weapons a year".

Even the US can hardly complain about being hit by Israeli nukes, considering the vast quantity of money it has given to Israel over the decades, no doubt at least part of which was used to build Israeli nukes, not to mention the US itself being the state which not only funded both Szilard's and Teller's research but also decided to nuke Hiroshima and Nagasaki (which Britain also approved):

"I'm perfectly fine with the idea of using drones (provided that their use is proven to speed up the war) to annihilate Israel,"

How? Israel itself is the world leader in military drones, and increasing their lead every day:

Quote
Since 1985, Israel has accounted for the majority (60.7%) of drone exports worldwide.

www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2015/mar/16/numbers-behind-worldwide-trade-in-drones-uk-israel

"and then destroying the blueprints to them."

This is another thing about the information age: anything that has ever been saved on a computer (or digitally photographed etc.) can be endlessly copied, shared and retrieved around the world. If you think you are destroying blueprints, you are probably only destroying your own copy! This is the unending nightmare we live in (known as Western civilization). I have pondered over this issue (how to permanently destroy unwanted knowledge) for a long time myself, and at present I am leaning towards the conclusion that the only reliable way is to breed future generations which will biologically have no interest in learning such knowledge even if they were to come across it (recall Tolkien's description of Hobbits: "no understanding of machinery more complicated than the watermill, forge bellows, and the hand loom"), rather than solely relying on chasing down every last informational copy of the knowledge. Even if the latter approach succeeds, we cannot be sure the knowledge will not be figured out from scratch again in the future, just as it was figured out from scratch the first time, if we leave the same gene pool around for long enough. Only the former approach of biologically eliminating the complexifying tendency - what rightists call (with positive connotations) the "Promethean/Faustian impulse" - is radical enough to do the job.

news.yahoo.com/heres-why-pilot-enola-gay-135700366.html

Quote
Early in the morning of August 6, 1945, a US Air Force B-29 Superfortress, the Enola Gay, took off from its base in Tinian, near Guam, and headed for the city of Hiroshima in southern Japan.

It was carrying a 9,700-pound top-secret bomb named Little Boy. Its pilot was Paul W. Tibbets Jr., who led a crew of 12 men on a mission that would change the history of the world.
...
In a blinding flash, and with temperatures as hot as the sun, the bomb detonated. It destroyed a 5-mile radius, killing an estimated 80,000 people.

Tens of thousands more later died of radiation sickness and injuries.
...
As for the loss of civilian lives, Tibbets, who died in 2007, was unrepentant.

"You're gonna kill innocent people at the same time, but we've never fought a damn war anywhere in the world where they didn't kill innocent people," he told Terkel.

"If the newspapers would just cut out the s---: 'You've killed so many civilians.' That's their tough luck for being there."

This is why I keep teaching False Leftists that "hate" is the most wrongheaded word possible for describing the Western attitude. It is simply indifference.

By the way, the Western attitude is in the process of returning. This is why it is crucial for us to win politically in as many nuclear-armed states as possible. Currently the only nukes I consider to be in safe hands are those in North Korea, Pakistan and China.

The wonders of Western civilization on display:

www.theguardian.com/world/2019/aug/10/russian-nuclear-agency-confirms-role-in-rocket-test-explosion

Quote
Russia’s nuclear energy agency has said an explosion that caused radiation levels to spike in the Arkhangelsk region was caused by an accident during a test of an “isotope power source for a liquid-fuelled rocket engine”.

In a statement released late on Friday, Rosatom said five of its employees had died as a result of the accident and three more were being treated for burns.

The statement was the first confirmation that the agency was involved in the incident, which briefly drove radiation levels up to 20 times their normal levels in the nearby city of Severodvinsk.

Rosatom’s description of the incident could indicate it was testing the nuclear-powered cruise missile Burevestnik mentioned during a speech by Vladimir Putin last year.
...
The explosion caused radiation levels to rise for about half an hour in Severodvinsk, contradicting official ministry of defence claims that there had been no rise in radiation levels. Severodvinsk removed a statement confirming the spike in radiation levels from its website, saying the ministry was managing the response to the incident.

While local officials urged calm, residents in several cities stocked up on iodine, which is often used to limit the effects of radiation exposure.

Russia also closed a bay in the White Sea to civilian traffic for a month, driving speculation that either the water had been contaminated or that a search operation was being launched.

Quote
President Trump has suggested multiple times to senior Homeland Security and national security officials that they explore using nuclear bombs to stop hurricanes from hitting the United States, according to sources who have heard the president's private remarks and been briefed on a National Security Council memorandum that recorded those comments.

Behind the scenes: During one hurricane briefing at the White House, Trump said, "I got it. I got it. Why don't we nuke them?" according to one source who was there. "They start forming off the coast of Africa, as they're moving across the Atlantic, we drop a bomb inside the eye of the hurricane and it disrupts it. Why can't we do that?" the source added, paraphrasing the president's remarks.

www.airforcetimes.com/news/your-air-force/2019/10/14/with-turkeys-invasion-of-syria-concerns-mount-over-nukes-at-incirlik/

Quote
The Air Force on Monday said it has made no changes to daily operations at Incirlik Air Base in Turkey even as Turkish forces continue to push into Syrian territory, which has prompted U.S. forces to pull back.

But concerns are growing over the reported presence of U.S. nuclear weapons at Incirlik, believed to be about 50 B61 gravity bombs. The New York Times on Monday reported that officials from the State and Energy departments over the weekend reviewed plans for evacuating the nuclear weapons there.
...
A senior official reportedly told the Times that the weapons “were now essentially [Turkish President Recep] Erdogan’s hostages” since removing the weapons would effectively spell the end of America’s alliance with Turkey, but keeping them there would leave them vulnerable.
...
The presence of nuclear weapons at Incirlik, though never publicly confirmed or denied by the U.S. government, has long been essentially an open secret. It became even less of a secret earlier this year when a Canadian senator published, apparently by accident, a document containing the bases where the United States is keeping nuclear weapons.

If I were in charge, I would simply leave the nukes to Turkey as a gift, or more accurately as compensation for having to tolerate US troops on its territory all this time.

prophecyinthenews.com/world_news/erdogan-whoever-is-on-israels-side-we-are-against-them/

Quote
former Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James would not confirm or deny the presence of nuclear weapons there. But, hypothetically speaking, she said that if nuclear weapons did have to be removed from that base, it would be a complicated operation. It would require negotiations with the nation that would become the weapons’ new host, James said.

Iran would be the obvious best choice (and again the nukes should be a gift in apology for all the sanctions and slander it has had to endure).

Either of the moves I suggested would immediately and massively reduce anti-American prejudice among the enemies of Israel worldwide, much like how Operation Deliberate Force sharply improved America's image back in the 90s (until ruined again by the post-9/11 invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq). Of course it won't happen now. I do not, however, consider it beyond the limits of possibility that something like this could happen under a future Blue government so long as the anti-Zionist Blue takeover continues as planned.

Quote
Israel has been building nuclear weapons for 30 years. The Jews understand what passive and powerless acceptance of doom has meant for them in the past, and they have ensured against it. Masada was not an example to follow—it hurt the Romans not a whit, but Samson in Gaza? What would serve the Jew-hating world better in repayment for thousands of years of massacres but a Nuclear Winter. Or invite all those tut-tutting European statesmen and peace activists to join us in the ovens? For the first time in history, a people facing extermination while the world either cackles or looks away—unlike the Armenians, Tibetans, World War II European Jews or Rwandans—have the power to destroy the world. The ultimate justice?

Jewish logic: Because the entire world hates Jews the world is wrong and should be punished. Never do Jews arrive at any genuine realization that Jewishness is actually wrong. Occasionally some make overtures in that general direction. The term anti-Semitism is a misnomer and a lie when used solely in the context of anti-Jewishness because most Semitic peoples are not Jewish. Jewish identity is racist, so Jews calling out anti-Jews for anti-Semitism is akin to "white nationalists" calling anti-Whites anti-Racists. Anti-Racism is inherently anti-White and anti-Jewish if it is indeed genuine anti-Racism because both whiteness and Jewishness are racist identities.

Quote
We possess several hundred atomic warheads and rockets and can launch them at targets in all directions, perhaps even at Rome. Most European capitals are targets for our air force. Let me quote General Moshe Dayan: 'Israel must be like a mad dog, too dangerous to bother.' I consider it all hopeless at this point. We shall have to try to prevent things from coming to that, if at all possible. Our armed forces, however, are not the thirtieth strongest in the world, but rather the second or third. We have the capability to take the world down with us. And I can assure you that that will happen before Israel goes under.

Is There a Double Standard on Nuclear Programmes?
Quote
The US has been at the forefront in trying to derail Iran’s nuclear ambitions.  Crippling sanctions have devastated Iran’s economy. Israel has also been a leading critic of Tehran and has threatened to strike Iran’s nuclear sites. But the Associated Press recently reported that Israel’s own nuclear facility is expanding. Why hasn’t the international community scrutinized Israel’s programme as much as it has Iran’s?

“Immoral & Illegal”: US & UK Move to Expand Nuclear Arsenals, Defying Global Disarmament Treaties
Quote
The United States and the United Kingdom are facing international criticism for moving to expand their nuclear arsenals, defying a growing global movement in support of nuclear disarmament. The U.S. is planning to spend $100 billion to develop a new nuclear missile which could travel 6,000 miles carrying a warhead 20 times stronger than the one dropped on Hiroshima, while British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has just announced plans to lift the cap on its nuclear stockpile, ending three decades of gradual nuclear disarmament in the U.K. “We’re seeing this united, uniform response of nuclear-armed states to what the rest of the world is calling for, which is the total elimination of nuclear weapons,” says Alicia Sanders-Zakre, a policy and research coordinator at the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons.

https://barenakedislam.com/2021/10/29/why-is-joe-biden-likely-to-approve-adoption-of-a-no-first-use-or-sole-purpose-nuclear-strike-policy/

Quote
The Biden Administration is reportedly considering changing the long-standing U.S. nuclear declaratory policy of calculated ambiguity to one of “no first use” (NFU) or “sole purpose.” Under an NFU or sole-purpose policy, the United States would pledge never to use nuclear weapons first in a conflict, including in response to chemical, biological, cyber, or massive conventional attacks.

In a spring 2020 Foreign Affairs article, then-presidential candidate Joe Biden expressed his support for sole purpose and said that he would “work to put that belief into practice, in consultation with the U.S. military and U.S. allies.”

Many believe this change would carry real risk, including the erosion of deterrence against adversary aggression and reduction of allies’ confidence in extended U.S. deterrence commitments. Through the years, a large number of senior officials and allies have voiced their opposition to NFU or sole purpose.

I agree with our enemies' opposition to NFU, because we will need to nuke Israel and Turandom (V4+).

If I were advising Biden, I would propose a modified NFU that applies only to former fellow victims of Western colonialism. This would both fulfill the intended purpose of reassuring these countries that the US will not nuke them, while leaving the US open to nuking Western countries as necessary.

"Blackmail" is the wrong word. Blackmail refers to the victim having done something in the past that they want to keep secret, and the blackmailer threatening to publicize what they have done if the victim does not comply with the blackmailer's instructions.

What Putin is doing here does not involve skeletons in our closet at risk of exposure. This is straightforward hostage situation where Putin is pointing a gun at our heads and threatening to pull the trigger if we move against him.

The ridiculous thing is, NATO also has guns, so there is no technical reason why Russia should have an advantage over NATO. The problem is that NATO values Russian lives more than Russia values NATO lives, and Putin knows this. This is why Putin thinks he can get away with anything. In order to stop Putin, NATO must learn to view Russian lives the same way Hitler did.

Lavrov threatens the world with destruction, if it prevents Putin from annihilating Ukraine. Both him and Putin are dead serious. In my opinion, the international community should respond to these threats in a way that runs contrary to Putin’s expectations.

After launching its mad, irrational, and barbaric invasion of Ukraine, Russia has revealed that it’s no longer a credible, rational actor in the international arena. World leaders realize that Russian nuclear threats are best taken seriously, because the failure to do so would be prohibitively expensive. After all, the continued existence of human civilization is at stake. One person is currently openly threatening to destroy our civilization if his ludicrous demands are not met. This is nuclear terrorism on a grand scale – it’s not just some major city like New York that’s at stake, it’s all of humanity.

Giving in to the terrorist’s demands is out of the question, it would only embolden him to make further demands, and inspire copycats. Sooner or later, the world will have to call his bluff at one red line or another, risking a global nuclear war. The only difference is that the longer we appease the terrorist, the more powerful he becomes, and the weaker and more demoralized the rest of the world will be. Appeasement is not an option.

What’s left to do then? Any security service official can answer that: the only option available is to eliminate the terrorist, who is holding the whole planet hostage, trying to force us all to meet his political demands. Not unlike a hypothetical asteroid, hurtling to wards Earth, this is a global problem that demands a global solution.
...
China’s foreign ministry issued a rather harsh, by Chinese standards, statement: “No one wants WWIII. All sides must show restraint around the Ukrainian crisis and avoid escalating the conflict.” Beijing is signaling to Putin that Russia won’t receive financial, technological, or military aid from China. Not even sympathies. And without Chinese support, the proverbial Russian warship has but one course to follow.

He brainwashed his populace into expecting a triumph, but as it turns out, it will be Ukraine parading its troops across Moscow. The problem is that Putin has no other way out. Nuclear war is all he thinks about now. That’s his only perceived salvation from a humiliating military defeat in Ukraine.

Putin doesn’t know what to do next, so his finger is creeping towards the nuclear “button.” That’s why I’m certain that Chinese security service will soon join their Western counterparts in figuring out a way to neutralize the Russian dictator – if it hasn’t happened already. Everyone around the globe will be pooling their resources towards stopping Putin. After all, nuclear war must be averted.

Russia Starts Sea Trials For Its Newest Nuclear Submarine | Signal To NATO Amid Ukraine War?
Quote
Russia has denied Ukrainian reports that Moscow’s missiles struck residential areas in Odesa early on July 1. Kremlin spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, reiterated Russia claim that their “special operation” doesn’t involve targeting civilians. Death toll due to alleged Russia’s missile strikes on Ukraine's southern Odesa region has now risen to 19. Meanwhile, 8 people have died after a Russian missile allegedly struck a residential building in Ukraine’s southern city of Mykolaiv. Moscow has told Ukrainian teachers in occupied territories to switch to teaching the Russian school curriculum. Former Russian spy, Sergey Zhirnov, claims that Russian President Vladimir Putin could use nuclear weapons in Ukraine. Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko told Russia that he is awaiting nuclear warheads to be stationed on his soil. Ukraine's President, Prime Minister and Parliament’s speaker have signed a declaration of intent to join EU.

Nuclear Submarine Belgorod Enters Putin's Navy Amid Ukraine War l Russia's Message To US-NATO?
Quote
Just days after retreating from Snake Island in the Black Sea, the Russian navy has got a nuclear boost. Amid a grinding war in Ukraine, the Russian navy has reportedly acquired Russia’s largest submarine, built in 40 years. President Putin has bolstered the Russian navy with K-329 Belgorod, capable of carrying nuclear-powered long-range torpedoes. What makes the giant Belgorod special?  What is Poseidon nuclear torpedo? Will Putin rule the Black Sea with his nuclear submarines?

UN nuclear watchdog says missing Libya uranium found
Quote
CAIRO (AP) — U.N. inspectors visiting southern Libya found drums containing natural uranium reported missing earlier this month in the chaos-stricken country, the U.N. nuclear watchdog said Saturday.

The International Atomic Energy Agency said earlier this month that some 2.5 tons of natural uranium stored at a site in the southern town of Sabha had gone missing. Forces of the Libyan commander Khalifa Hifter said they found the missing material close to the storage site.

In a statement to The Associated Press on Saturday, the Vienna-based agency said U.N. inspectors visited the area on March 21 and saw the material being transferred to the storage site.

U.N. inspectors found that a “relatively small amount of UOC (Uranium ore concentrate) was still unaccounted for,” it said.

The IAEA said, however, there was no immediate radiological risk at the location.

The statement said investigations were still underway on the matter including reconciling the quantities of natural uranium at the site with those previously verified by the IAEA.

Hiroshima Survivor Slams G7 Leaders for Embracing War & Rejecting Nuclear Disarmament
Quote
The G7 summit wrapped up Sunday in Hiroshima, where much of the summit focused on the war in Ukraine and China. While in Japan, President Biden and other world leaders paid tribute to the victims of the world's first nuclear attack — the U.S. bombing of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 — laying wreaths at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial and planting a tree. But President Biden did not issue an apology for the attack, which killed an estimated 140,000 people and seriously injured another 100,000. For more, we speak with Setsuko Thurlow, who survived the U.S. bombing of Hiroshima in 1945 and devoted her life to nuclear disarmament. In 2017, she was chosen to accept the Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons.

Quote
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko claims his country is taking the delivery of Russian tactical nuclear weapons. Lukashenko claims some of the nukes are 3 times more powerful than the atomic bombs the US dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. Lukashenko claimed Belarus has several nuclear storage facilities from the Soviet-era and has restored five or six of them. Meanwhile, Lukashenko contradicted Putin, warning he would not hesitate to use nuclear weapons if Belarus faces attacks. The Belarusian President said he had the facilities to host longer-range missiles as well, if ever needed.

"We are losing people left and right" Ukrainian ambassador to London, Vadim Prystaiko. For some strange coincidence sons of Mr. Prystaiko are living in Belgium and don't want to die for Zelenskyy.  Meanwhile Zelenskyy is officially conscripting even disabled. In WaPo article "On front lines of Ukraine counteroffensive, soldiers pay heavy price"  by Samantha Schmidt and Serhii Korolchuk, Ukrainian soldier described this last Zelenskyy offensive in this way: “There were fewer than 50 men in the unit, and 30 did not return — they were killed, wounded or captured by the enemy. All five of the unit’s armored vehicles were destroyed within the first hour. We were shelled with mortars from three sides. We couldn’t do anything.” In the first 10 days of this long-awaited offensive Zelenskyy managed to waste dozens of tanks (including cutting-edge German Leopard 2A6s) and hundreds of armored vehicles (including Bradley) along with  7 500 of hapless Ukrainian conscripts on the mine fields, hit by Russian artillery or anti-tank missiles without even getting to the first main line of Russian defense. Adding insult to injury Russians captured Leopard 2A6 and Bradley. Ukrainian army has always been poorly led and marred by political interference and pervasive corruption, but now when it lost almost all experienced soldiers every Zelenskyy operation turns into a wholesale slaughter of Ukrainian conscripts like in Bakhmut.

Despite placing tactical nuclear weapons within Belarus, Russia doesn’t trust their pilots to carry the weapon for fear they might ‘go in the other direction,’ says William Courtney, former advisor to Bill Clinton on Russia, Ukraine and Eurasia.

Putin said Russia had effectively completed the development of the Burevestnik cruise missile and the Sarmat heavy ICBM. According to Putin, no one in the world in their right mind would dare to use nuclear weapons against Russia. He stressed that no enemy would survive in the event of an attack on Russia, adding there was no need for Russia to rewrite its doctrine on the actual use of nuclear weapons.

Israeli Nukes + German Guilt = Global Catastrophe
Quote
The tale is not only waging the dog but threatening it, too.

In this talk Professor Dr. Dr. Wolfgang Streeck first talks about why Germany is again on the side of genocide (as always) and has supplied Israel with submarines, capable of hosting its nuclear-tipped missiles. He then explains how Israel's nuclear triad—which by now is utterly clear they possess—is not only a threat to Arab and West Asian countries, but has political implications up to potential security threats to the West as well.

A genocidal regime with its own nukes. What could go wrong?
