MR NUKE SAYS...

“You may be seeing me sooner than you think.”

I’ve always had the uneasy feeling that, when it came to the unthinkable, ultimate showdown, nuclear powers might just behave as badly drunks in a bar carrying guns. When one whiskey-drunk idiot pulls his gun and starts shooting, the others just can’t stop themselves doing the same. Okay so Kennedy and Khrushchev skated by in the Cuba Missile crisis, but that was just two of them. These days, the barroom is a lot more crowded, and when we hear what follows, we do well too well to worry. Or run out angry and amok in the street, crying bloody murder.

(On Aug. 9, 1945, the United States exploded a nuclear device over Nagasaki, Japan, instantly killing an estimated 39,000 people. The explosion came three days after the atomic bombing of Hiroshima.)

There's no ground war with Iran without a draft.

What is too valuable to destroy & how can I hide in the midst of it?

No way to hide from nukes.
But for the other game, the thing they won't want to destroy are good old hard-working proles. You can hide among them. That is, if you can keep your mouth shut. Otherwise - barring a plastic coffin - you'll be doing your hard work in a labor camp.

The most values thing to these fucks is prime real estate. And they have the neutron bomb for that. It kills you and leaves the building intatc.

The US doesn't have any good old hardworking troles. They're 700 pounds, watching Fox News and would rather die than vote for a black dude.
