One of those things was a random comment when trump came back from north korea, that said something like: after all these years under obama, i van finally rest easy, i can finally sleep at night, now that my family is save and we are not under constant nuclear threat anymore. I get that people are paranoid and scared, and they hide at home with a gun under their pillow. But how the fuck does this thought crosses anyone's mind? From the guy who can barely say nuclear. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 1 year ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] Sarie@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago (1 child) That wasn't even close to a nuclear war. The real threat was nuking the hurricanes. Just imagine what could have happened if Atlantis retaliated. /s permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago (2 children) …Florida sinks into the sea?

At no point in any of our presidents' tenures was North Korea a nuclear threat, regardless of how the US or that president was treating them. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago (1 child) That's just patently untrue. They've never been capable of ICBM's but they have nuclear attack subs that Naval ASW sorties have been tracking for years because they can just pull up to the coast and start firing nukes. In fact submarines are the most realistic nuclear threat we have, the time between launch and detonation is mere minutes compared to the orbital flight time of an ICBM. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] dogslayeggs@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Having nukes is not the same as a nuclear threat.
