US Politics on Sidechat | Even as a leftist, this is an insane take. Iran is a fascist theocracy who believes in perfect immortality through death in service of faith. There is no M.A.D deterrence with a state like Iran because they don’t believe they’ll be truly destroyed.

Hard disagree. They’re willing to throw their people under the bus but not themselves. Building impenetrable bunkers even by our standards and a durable chain of command designed to last forever and decentralize is not a suicidal actor’s behavior

Evangelical Christian nationalists in government literally believe we need to bring about the end times in order to trigger the rapture. This country is run by equally as insane religious psychos

What they want is deterrence, not some suicidal nuclear blitz on the Middle East that would guarantee their own ends. Religion has always been a means, not an end

It’s less so that the leaders themselves wouldn’t do it, but the people they put in charge of said nuclear bombs. How many do you think would hesitate like the many times during the Cold War that could’ve started nuclear Armageddon

We didn’t, the supreme leader got popped only when he decided to have an above ground meeting in his public office. Places like pickaxe mountain remain untouched
