Just want to get some perspective on what people think of the American reaction. I’m NOT asking if it will happen. I’m asking what do you think Americans will do, if anything if this happens. Do you think people will just not care or protest on the streets?
Edit: What would your reaction would be? (even if not American)
I don’t think Americans will react to anything unless it happens on their own soil for a change.
Correct, and 911 was a setup
I don’t think we’ll react to things on our own soil anymore. There have been several moments in the last two years that should have been go-time for a country wide indefinite strike or anything. But every time somebody does something, the news cycle works its magic and gets us to fall in line. There are no more Luigi’s in America
The frog in the pot analogy comes to mind. Americans were sitting in the cold pot while trump stoked the fire under them. They’ve sat there largely content as the temp rises.
But if an attack was launched against the US it would be as if the frog was tossed into hot water. They would jump up and take action.
Now a nuke going off miles away might only raise a stir among the US population if the world sanctions the US.
The US dropping a nuke without consequences might encourage the UK to be bolder in its defence of the Falklands.
Pretty much describes the situation. That Falklands bit is wack too though. Crazy to think there are still places that if poor enough the UK will just be like “You know, maybe we DO still have a couple peasant colonies. Did they really earn the same sovereignty as India and Australia? Nobody will care”
Falklands were never fully settled until westerns came along around 1800. Spanish, US and finally Britain. All the people there voted to stay in UK
Wait. I have this confused. This isn’t the island that one Argentinian cowboy claimed? I’m about to show my full ignorant ass here.
Edit: oh, this is the place I was thinking of. I just have not heard of this side of the narrative. Are the people that voted native Falklanders/Argentine or are they connected to that UK airbase on the island?
Everything I’ve read has it listed as abandoned and then settled first by the US and then Britain. No indigenous natives.
There have been a few colonies since the 1880’s. I guess they were mostly commercial ventures. I know I shouldn’t have partiality to foreign conflicts like this but this was my first introduction to the subject. Youtube / Invidious
Obviously I need to examine this more

Ok, what do you think if a nuke went off in D.C.? Idk what most people would do honestly, probably still go into work the next day?
Its show up to work or get fired and jobs are hard to come by. I dont know about the rest of you but I sure do like food.
911 will be a decent reference. Then that fear will be capitalized for state control and power consolidation, privacy invasion, ultimately making the world a worse place. The same playbook
Why would these sociopaths/amoral materialists care? They don’t even care when their own kids get shot up, as a whole, what price are they paying when it’s Iranian kids who get murdered? They don’t call America the Big Satan for no reason, the Anglo settler colony was built on genocide and slavery and these monsters’ descendants are either proud of it or quietly reap the rewards. There are like four good Americans, the rest are at best just useless and easily propagandised cattle.
