Fox News reports that Donald Trump may consider using nuclear weapons to eliminate Iran’s Fordo nuclear facility

The U.S. military has reservations regarding the success of using a bunker-buster bomb, a non nuclear weapon, to eliminate Iran’s Fordo nuclear facility, buried deep in a mountain. Two defense officials were reportedly briefed that only a tactical nuclear weapon could reach the facility.

    I hate how the Internet has made all these arm chair idiots think that they are experts now on military strategy and weapons.

    But to answer your question:

    No, you do not use nukes. If you really need to get in, drop your bunker buster bombs five times more, you have the airspace as you claimed. Hell, drop twenty of em, still cheaper than a nuke but more importantly YOU WONT BE DROPPING NUKES

    What part of “nukes are different, nukes are the end” do you not understand?

    Once the first nuke drops, you can rest assured that the second will follow soon for -of which I’m sure will be explained as really really- good reasons and then the third will follow closely after because now we found another good reason…

    Nukes aren’t just extremely powerful, they’re also extremely devastating to the world and humanity for a long, long time.

    Once nukes start, humanity is done.

    You. Do. Not. Use. Nukes.
