2020 election

[C-Mag]

The really scary thing is that Boris will have nukes too in a couple of weeks time.
That free summer could be the ambassador's and everyone else's last ever summer.

Smitty may yet get his thermonuclear war before he shuffles off to the great hockey rink in the sky...
Bet he's supporting a chubby right now thinking about it.

Oh Shit, is this something I should be worried about.
What did Boris promise about using Nukes ?

No Boris wouldn't deliberately use nukes, he'd more likely trip over the tail on his smoking jacket while carrying some smoked quails eggs through to the billiards room and accidentally hit the launch button.
Or more likely he'd inadvertently press some intern against it while getting his tip moist.

If he did, no one would get nuked, that's not how it works.

No, you tellin' me there's no big red button?

Accidentally pushing a button, or doing it on whim for no good reason, will get no one nuked, that's a fantasy peddled by SIFCLF's who want to inflate the danger of electing a politician they don't like.

Actually, it was a joke about Boris's gaffe-prone clumsiness with a little dig at his upper-class background.
Sorry it went over your head.

It didn't go over my head, your joke is simply a fantasy peddled by SIFCLF's on top of it.

Nobody else was confused by this. Pull back and regroup.

Nobody was confused by this. You are just assuming I was, not sure why. Maybe you are just mad about Khalil Mack's paycheck and lashing out or something.

People always play it up to instill their own "project fear" in their "tribe", as if their president/PM has the authority to just unilaterally nuke someone. No president/PM has that sole authority *except* under the sole condition that another country has already launched nukes at them - in which case the decision to *retaliate* with equal force has a decision time measured in minutes, not hours or days.

Even the use of small tactical nukes would be met with severe disapproval by every nation. They are a "big stick" to use as a threat, but short of all out nuclear war their actual use would be met by world condemnation. Even the USSR understood this, heck I'm sure even 'Little Kim' understands this.
