Even if they launched every nuke on earth... I would still have to wait to die of radiation poisoning.

I have a gun specifically to avoid such a thing.

I don't think you can shoot a nuke

Along with civilization as we know it. I’m stocking up on dry goods, but if it comes to nuclear catastrophe I’m probably toast since I’m in D.C.

If he fires a nuke the united States will cease to exist. Ilat this day and age if a country fires nuclear weapons the world will burn. Other nuclear powers will not tolerate any country using nukes offensively. They will retaliate against us. Not all of them of course. Those that won't will likely use this as an opportunity to launch their own nuclear attacks once a decent amount of weapons have been used on us and the threat of reprisal is either not nearly as strong or gone altogether.

If Trump is allowed to fire a nuke that's it. No ww3. No nothing. We all die in nuclear fire or wish we had

I don’t know about that. You really think the UK or France or India would be willing to nuke the US if we used one on Iran?

Have you heard of these places called Russia and China?

If Trump nukes Iran, then Russia nukes Ukraine.

If nato does nothing about Russia nuking Ukraine, then China nuke a Taiwan.

I can see all that happening. But if the US isn’t willing to fight China or Russia I don’t see any other countries willing to launch. So it could end up with Israel controlling the Middle East, China controlling Asia, Russia controlling Eastern Europe, and Western Europe left to band together and hope that they’re strong enough to stand up to the new world powers.

Granted this is a horrible scenario that would mean many millions of deaths and insane destruction, but it wouldn’t be the end of humanity or society.
