Iran could turn their front line soldiers into beings of pure energy and they could rip the life force right out of a tank.
Why would anyone believe this? Who is ret*rded enough to believe this?
Whatever, punchable face.
USA could develop a more fuckable couch, and ride us of one problem, but here we are.
No one would do that
JD Vance, also known as a couch fucker, could develop pubic hair within the next 15 years, endangering his aim while peeing as he won’t be able to find his micropenis anymore and won’t be able to shave it out of fear of shaving his micropenis off. Couches would finally be safe.
Spread the word.
public hair
I’d rather it not be visible to the public as I’m a member of the public
Loooool fixed the typo xD
Thanks!

I claim that Americans have idiot VP, iVP short.
Not very related, but I just now realised, years old, that the “i” in Apple products stands for idiot and now it all makes sense!
Cool story bro.
It stands for Jack Diznutzov. I heard it from a fella. Very smart guy.
Oh so he’s a Russian plant. Good to know.
Just a reminder that the 9/11 attackers did it with knives.
Box cutters
Kinda wild, I vividly remember getting on a plane to Disney with my grandparents as a child (Pre 9/11). My grandpa had a swiss army knife on him when we went through security. I asked him how he was able to get that through, and he said it’s a small knife; nothing to worry about. It’s legal as long as it’s smaller than my palm. I said what if someone brought a knife like that and stabbed the pilot. He laughed it off and said I watch too much TV. Then 9/11 happened and guess how they did it? How did 8 year old me have more sense than whoever was running airports in those days?
I accidentally brought handcuffs into a flight on August 2001. The TSA agent who found them asked what I planned to do with them.
Being a teenager, the answer was obviously that I kept them in my jacket to pull them out and show my high-school friends how quirky and cool I was. But being a teenager, I didn’t realize how endearing that response would be, so I blurted out the first thing that came to mind, which was somehow better and worse.
“I’m visiting my girlfriend!”
She gave me a slow blink and said “Well, alright then, go get your freak on!” (Or something of a similar sentiment - time has robbed me of the exact phasing.)
Airport security pre-9/11 was pretty horrendous. Hijackings were surprisingly common compared to today, but the difference was that it was usually for a ransom and/or demanding that the plane go somewhere else. This led to a general policy of just going along with hijackers and letting the authorities deal with it later. The most famous example of this kind of scenario is D. B. Cooper.
An important thing to remember about Aviation in general is that every lesson is written in blood. This leads me to PSA 1771. In 1987 a disgruntled former airline employee got on plane, shot his boss and the flight crew, then intentionally crashed the plane killing everyone else. This incident was entirely caused by the poor security practices at the time. The perpetrator’s employee ID hadn’t been taken back when he was fired and because he had those credentials he was able to get on the plane without being searched.
Pre-9/11 security in American airports was wild to me. There had been a load of plane hijackings in Europe before my time so it was always fairly locked down but I distinctly remember San Diego airport you could basically walk in off the street and nearly be at the plane when people were disembarking in the late 90s.
I used to get really really high as a teenager and go walk around the airport and people watch as a teenager. No one checked shit. And this was at one of the busiest airports in the world.
Yeah we had a handful of hijackings in the US too.
We didn’t care until brown people did it.
It had much less to do with the attackers race, and much more to do with the fact that prior to 9/11, aircraft hijackings were primarily done for ransom, not to use the plane as a weapon for a mass casualty event.
Yeah, before that it was uncommon enough and the stakes were so low that it was probably just cheaper to comp everyone involved and call it the cost of doing business.
That’s a big vest. Should be easy to spot.
For reference, the SADM portable nuke was made to be carried by paratroopers into enemy territory. 4 soldier would each carry one 18kg part of the weapon.
A 72kg vest sounds quite the chonker.
This is the same JD Vance that repeatedly falsely claimed immigrants were eating cats and dogs in his home state, is it not?
I’m not saying a nuclear suicide vest couldn’t be done. I’m just saying, JD Vance has claimed lots of things.
Trump is the one who said that. It was during a debate leading up to the 2024 election.
Vance said it too. Pushed it way harder actually.
If lemmy had an equivilent of retweeting, I would.
The Iran war is worse than the fucking Epstein files you weirdo
I don’t disagree, but let me direct your attention to Exhibit A:
She isn’t wrong, with only one addition; he will take down the entire world as well. Clearly.
There is a minimum-amount of fission-fuel required, AND there is a minimum-amount of conventional-explosives required to compress the fission-fuel until it goes supercritical.
That detonator isn’t going to be small-enough to hide in a vest.
Absolute disinformation.
_ /\ _
Do you actually need conventional explosives? I had the impression all they do is reliably stick the big hunks of radioactive material together in a big bomb that needs to be delivered at high speeds and detonate automatically. Wouldn’t it be enough to quickly shove a cylinder into a bigger core, perhaps with a motor or even a tensioned spring?
That of course doesn’t waive the issue of the amount of fissile material, or the fact it needs to be all put together (you can’t spread it around a vest)
He’s talking about a dirty bomb. And, technically, that is quite possible and doable by the Iranians.
It’s a stupid assertion, yes; but the engineering is plausible.
JD should stick to fucking couches, not nuclear physics.
I mean, yeah, the Davie Crockett could fit in a back pack, a really big back pack
It is stupid for even more reasons than that. I’ve thought about it back when North Korea had pretend nuclear suicide bombers march on their military parade.
Even if somehow they manage to cram one in a backpack that is carriable by a person, there is no advantage whatsoever given the blast radius. You will have to use a vehicle of sorts to get near the enemy and more importantly away from your friendlies anyway. Whatever distance you can cover on foot afterwards won’t make much of a difference. Might as well make it vehicle borne.
Also the whole point of a suicide vest is to be able to get in the middle of an unaware crowd or near your target before using it. With a nuke you don’t need to be in the middle of a targeted crowd or get that close to your target to have an effect.
I mean, the W54 was small enough to be carried by a person and I don’t think anyone wants even a 1kt device going off near them. So it’s within the realm of possibility even if it does strain credulity as an actual goal Iran was working toward (let alone a solid justification for this bullshit).
Edit: the W54 weighed 51lb (23 kg).
That wouldn’t be a suicide vest, though; it’d be a suicide fat suit.
“watch closely, because I’m only going to show you once”
I don’t think anyone wants even a 1kt device going off near them
Pussies.
JD Vance makes blithering halfwits sound like Einstein.
These fuckers are so inept at propaganda, it’s kinda sad.
Dont underestimate the stupidity of their target audience, and the arrogant complacency of his opposition. Its why we have him in the first place. Twice. Half of the second group is still probably going to sit out the primaries and midterms.
Are they really inept if 40% of the country believe every word?
Yes.
