thanks for saying this, I wad ready to Don my armor and defend him also, but you already did the Lord work

“The greater good!”

(western) neutron bombs were made for single and very specific explicit purpose: to kill crews of soviet tanks quickly while not generating too much fallout over friendly territory (west germany). neutron bombs are still nukes and still have powerful blast and so on; but while everyone outside of tank is fried anyway no matter what nuke you use, neutrons specifically ignore heavy metal shielding. neutrons are however also stopped by things like air, concrete, and especially water, fuel, plastics and such; most importantly, when first DPICM and then antitank PGMs deployable from considerable distance (think CBU-97 or BONUS, not ATGMs) became a thing, these things just stopped being necessary and were withdrawn from service

against a city you don’t want a neutron bomb. other than tanks, it’s a thing to be used against other nukes, but nuclear anti-ballistic defenses seem a little crazy today so it was phased out too. if you look at actual doomsday arsenals of actual nuclear states, the things stockpiled are plain ol big dirty thermonuclear devices, dial-a-yield from below 1kt to somewhere around 500kt with guidance kit added. even against other nukes neutron bombs aren’t expected to be used today, turns out just bending them out of shape while still in silo seems to be easier

does israel have neutron bombs? probably, would it be effective against a city? not more than regular nukes, and at any rate, just like you say, tons and tons of PGMs are just simpler, easier to deal with and much safer diplomatically

@Sharklaser ugh don’t waste your time, he’s a holocaust denier.

Abbas quotes historian Raul Hilberg to support his allegations that fewer than one million Jews were killed.[13][14][15][16] However, Rafael Medoff of the David S. Wyman Institute for Holocaust Studies denied the assertion that “The historian and author, Raoul Hilberg, thinks that the figure does not exceed 890,000”, and said this is “utterly false”. He wrote that “Professor Hilberg, a distinguished historian and author of the classic study The Destruction of the European Jews, has never said or written any such thing.”[12]

In the book Abbas raises doubts regarding the existence of the gas chambers, quoting Robert Faurisson, on the nonexistence of gas chambers.

So he doesn’t deny that the Holocaust happened…just that it was millions fewer deaths than reported, the Jews were a pivotal and willing part of the plan, and also there were no gas chambers. Cool.

I think the book of Joshua is a bit more on the nose, in this case. Gotta blot out those Amalekites, you know?

Lots of downcopes from angry fascists and historically illiterate liberals

Whom among you can speak your disagreements? Don’t just sulk.

As far as nukes go you are right. Israel has long had a neither confirm nor deny stance when asked if they have nukes.

Everyone knows they do but they have never admitted to it.

This guy is getting shit for confirming that Israel does in fact have nukes.
Thats the real reason they are pissed at him.

Not for the idea itself.

It’s better than r/worldnews. But that’s a very, very low bar.

I think he was only suspended.

Nah, let the nations actions speak for themselves. Duh.

It’s a natural evolutionary step from “just asking questions”.

@jonne collective punishment is so evil.

They got criticized by Michael D. Higgins. This guy is unreal. He is so charismatic and positive and though I don’t know him personally he looks like an amazing human being.

They remember how it is to have your homeland occupied by a neighbouring nation that thinks you are an inferior people.
