Irans leader ship wouldnt either

they hate the west

so do msot iranians

they few who dont either left or pretend they hate the wets to not get executed

If you think about it

the only time, a country was completely changed

was Japan after the 2 A bombs

Westernization and Freemarkets are hard to avoid, but obviously without the leadership stepping down, you won't get 100% of the benefits. You'll have situations like China that benefits from free market as long as everyone pretends that China isn't what China is. We're getting there, though.

hehe

Freedom bombs.

the Trauma completely redefined its identity

That or maybe the US rebuilding japan.

@Ryoma Nagare and after they were ruled by an american

and having a permanent base.

i mean surely after something like that rebuilding is to be exected

You think Germany or the Soviets would have rebuilt what they nuked?

I just say that an A bomb in Iran, wouldn't be the worst thing, if you could live with the cost of human life.

Nah, the opposite. The regular Iranian is sold on liberty, freedom and markets.

YOu'd be killing supporters

I feel they've been underused in "modern warfare"

@Ryoma Nagare ok Mac Arthur

lol

calm down

Nukes have lasting effects

Could be why.

especially modern nukes

true, but so do 15 years of limited warfare

If you bomb Tehran with an A bomb, you'll be radiating multiple local countries and shit as well.

What Iran needs is a reason to have deplomatic elections.

The US welcoming them to the world stage in exchange for free elections would go a long way.

I bet they'd take it.

I don't think a well used tactical nuke exploding at the correct altitude, generates that much fallout

but probably yeah , and thats why they haven't been used

arial explosion is normal from what I understand, it amplyfies the force or something.

yes, but reduces fallout

the worst fallout is irradiated soil , sublimated and thrown into the air, thats what creates the whole "post apocalyptic" picture people have of an atomic explosion

Pretty sure it still radiates the area pretty heavily as it's dragged though the area with the weather.

but really if you think Hiroshima and Nagasaki, became viable cities only a a couple decades after the explosions, compared to places thatw ere used for underground testing for example

I'm not saying you are wrong

I'm not 100% either way.

just thinking that maybe considering the costs of long wars it might not be that farfetched
