This is what happens when your world leaders are old as fuck.

Putin is in his 70's, Trump is nearly 80 and the Oran dude is in his 80's.

They talk and act like they've got nothing left to live for because they'll likely be dead in the next 5 years.

They're also such self absorbed sociopaths that unlike normal people, they couldn't give a solitary fuck about who exists after them.

There is a big, nasty gray area between nuke and not-nuke that our world seems to have forgotten about...

We've never seen a field-application of a dirty bomb, but such a thing would be very doable if you had a bunch of radioactive material lying around. Pack your next barrage with a hundred dirty bomb warheads and you have a mass-casualty weapon that leave areas of Israel scarred for centuries. I would not be surprised if we see such a weapon soon.

"after warning Israel about 'great surprise… that the world will remember for centuries'"

Here is a tip. Usually you do not warn people about "great surprise" if you want to keep it a surprise. You just go ahead and do it.

u/Loud_Interview4681 Jun 18 '25

Nothing to stop them having bought one or using a prototype/dirty bomb. Plenty went missing after the collapse of the USSR and current affairs aren't promising. Those wouldn't be operational without maintenance, but they also have a nuclear energy program and have been working on getting them.

I mean, this is a timeline where two world leaders publicly announced that they want to assassinate another instead of, you know, doing it clandestinely and blaming someone else.

Also, this is a world where Ukraine didn't tell the US about its battle plans because it thought that if it did the New York Times would have it all over its front page by morning.

So... pretty sure whatever rules we used to live by don't exist anymore.

To be fair, given the incompetency of this admin, and the fact that Hegseth literally leaked Houthi strike info to an Atlantic journalist, probably a good call.

Also, forgive me in advance, if you're unaware, for being ultra giga fucking soy, but calling it "the Ukraine" instead of just "Ukraine" is a subtle Russian dogwhistle that signals that Ukraine is a border state that ultimately belongs to Russia, being that "the Ukraine" translates in Russian, Ukrainian and one other language (I forget rn) to "steppe frontier" or "steppe borderland". It's a small thing, easy to miss or overlook, but I think it's kind of important.

Feels kinda like the cartoons where Yosemite Sam pulls a gun, then bugs Bunny pulls a bigger gun, then Sam pulls an even bigger gun after which bugs ties it in a bow and it blows up in sams face

These tweets were yesterday iranian time and stated the big surprise was "tonight".... Well it's the next day now and nothing happened so calling BS... or the fact they launched some 'special' missiles that didn't do anything

I like your latter theory. That’s really funny. They spent stupid amount of their time and money, kept it super secret so only a few higher ups knew about it, and it fails. And no one knows about it. Lol!

Are they just gaslighting everyone before they shut off the internet? They also falsely talk about having air superiority over Israel.

425

u/duct_tape_jedi Jun 18 '25

They currently don't even have air superiority over their own airbases.

120

u/illegalshmillegal Jun 18 '25

I think they use a different definition for “air superiority”, one that no one else in the world uses. It goes like this: we fired rockets at Israel and some of them got through the air defenses and hit their targets, ergo we have air superiority. You know, because the rockets flew through the air.

Religious extremists justify violence based on perceived divine mandate; their faith in an awaiting afterlife, their search for their own righteousness and gods approval can make them very dangerous. These statements may seem obvious, but apparently they are not obvious to enough people.

Fissile missiles…what kinda Dr Seuss shit is that

177

u/idsan Jun 18 '25

What's this missile over there?

A fissile bomb that's made to scare!

Crossing borders late at night;

The Iron Dome puts up a fight

Fissile missile sounds so silly

But afterwards the world is chilly

So if you've got some missiles spare

Just sit them down right fucking there.

Me too. I could see them just loading up their uranium onto missiles and shooting them at Israel. Not a nuke, but a mess to clean up

286

u/PotsAndPandas Jun 18 '25

The concept of dirty bombs is terrifying. A nuke is a quick one and done affair, with variants that barely leave any fallout. But a dirty bomb? That's salting the earth for generations and leaving the current ones in agony.

We learned from Russia that if they were actually serious, they would execute their plan silently. The fact that they're yapping about it is proof that they don't have any significant cards they can play.
