So they're just going to use tiny nukes then?

Yeah it's definitely not great (any kind of nuclear response is truly bonkers, genie out of the bottle shit) but if I understand correctly they at least aren't talking about glassing the country the way the headline implies

Edit: just still beyond madness btw, precedent leading to dominos falling pretty quick after that, not sanewashing at all, just... maybe a slightly slower slide into apocalypse than instantaneous global thermonuclear war so... yaaaay

lol, yeah. Got to look at the bright side, slow apocalypse is better than a fast one.

Just one or two, as a treat.
