      Yes, everyone will die, but right-wing ideologues are not smart enough to look this far ahead.

        Oh, it’s worse and weirder than that. More than a few hardcore evangelicals are excited by the prospect, because they think it’s going to be the literal biblical Rapture, and that they’ll be Saved.

        That’s not a joke or a sarcastic comment. It’s completely serious.

        We ignore the insanity of these theocratic fascists at our peril.

      WWII was technically a nuclear war. So yes, a nuclear war is winnable, if only one side has nuclear weapons.

      But anyway this guy is an idiot. A nuclear strike on Iran would still be stupid even when they don’t have nuclear weapons (yet).
