President Donald Trump
I assume it's still acceptable to have a Trump thread in a Politics forum?
So this is an obvious lie - basically aimed at
crd isn't the president and is throwing around silly pejorative nicknames on a lightly traveled political message board. Trump is the president and is throwing around silly pejorative nicknames in official White House communications.
It's a subtle distinction, but I think it's important.

Also it was my parody of Trump, I tried to make it as over the top as possible to make it obvious but I guess if you’re a Trump fan you might think I was imitating as a compliment.
The Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) says it has received more than 200 complaints from service members across all branches of the armed forces, including the marines, air force, and space force.
One complainant, identified as a noncommissioned officer (NCO) in a unit that could be deployed “at any moment to join” operations against Iran, told MRFF in a complaint viewed by the Guardian that their commander had “urged us to tell our troops that this was ‘all part of God’s divine plan’ and he specifically referenced numerous citations out of the Book of Revelation referring to Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus Christ”.
“He said that ‘President Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth’”, the NCO added.
Jesus ****ing Christ
It's abhorrent that Polymarket has a market for this. I thought you were joking, but I went on Polymarket and you of course were not.
It is also dismaying that I have spent enough of my life thinking about gambling that I immediately wondered how that market would resolve in the event of a nuclear test. (Several people in the comments were wondering the same thing.)
I was wondering similar about a dirty bomb
Iran could already manage this although my money on the next country to use nukes (not test) is the usa

i mean you could just read the rules listed on the market
This market will resolve to "Yes" if a nuclear weapon is detonated anywhere in the world between December 17, 2025 ET, and March 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
For the purpose of this market's resolution, any detonation of a nuclear weapon anywhere on the planet Earth or in space will be sufficient to trigger a "Yes" resolution. This includes offensive usages, nuclear tests, and accidental detonations.
Use/launch of a nuclear weapon that fails to detonate, a fake weapon that never detonates, or a dirty bomb that distributes radioactive material by means of a conventional explosion are not sufficient to trigger a "Yes" resolution of this market. Only a successful nuclear detonation will result in a "Yes" resolution.
I was looking quickly on my phone and I assumed based on the comments that that the rules were unclear.
But thank God that Polymarket's rules on its "detonation of a nuclear weapon" market are clear. All is right with the world again.

I don't think it is at all likely that any country will detonate a nuclear weapon, but especially not the U.S. I say that mainly because the U.S. is unlikely in the near term to be desperate enough militarily for detonation of a nuclear weapon to seem like the best option. But the U.S. has a demonstrated capacity to elect a leader that is more erratic than the leaders of most other nuclear powers, which obviously increases the risk.
In before the Trump family places a bet on launching a nuke and then does a nuclear test.
It’s pretty sick and twisted to be betting on real world events in a way that could influence them happening. Are you able to bet on someone being assassinated/murdered before x date as well?

You definitely can bet on a leader finishing his or her term, which obviously is assassination-adjacent.

Suitcase nukes are way harder to build than warheads. Plus it's traceable. Global retaliation would be off the charts.
It's about deterance. All Iran wants is to say we have a nuke that can hit Israel.

I know there was a conversation somewhere, I thought maybe here, when it reached like 20% during the Russia shenanigans. But I don't know what time frame that was.

they could bet about $300k right now to win $120k
i think they have much better opportunities out there.
Yes I'm the one who posted it.
There's not very much liquidity in these markets.
The Trump fam could scoop up a whopping $120,000 by detonating a test nuke.
Then consider the repercussions. How does the market react?
Interesting thought experiment, but there is no material financial incentive.

If they factor in the market repercussions they could make billions
speaking of crypto and Canada’s failure
Now that so many of the top leaders of Iran are dead is it safe to say the have a shallower bench than what democrats are working with?
FYI - The betting favorites to be the dem nominee for president in 2028 are newsom and AOC.
Who is the next in line after Trump exactly that we’re gonna be excited for? Fat Girl Cuck Vance? Little Marco? Creepy Cruz? Cokehead Trump Jr?
Creepy Cruz? That is not his nickname. He is "Lyin' Ted." 😆
This is just too much for me, Deuces. Your advanced US military wisdom such as your belief of droned commercial airliners flying into the WTC with such explosive technology causing avalanches of molten steel and the well timed detonation of building 7 will magically be at the mercy of a 25-year-old war game with "unconventional tactics" such as motorcycle couriers and small boa
It's not my wisdom. That was the result of a 250 million dollar exercise/simulation carried out by the U.S. armed forces. The theme was that Iran could deploy cheaper weapons which stymied our conventional large watercraft which were exposed by actual modern battle scenarios to be more relics of cold war intimidation than a modernized, adapted fighting force.
This was pretty much the exact dynamic that played out when Israel commanded us to fight the Houthis about a year ago. The Houthis repelled us and we spent...Google is telling me more than a billion dollars in a short period of time. We had planes falling off aircraft carriers, just the kind of thing predicted in the simulation. And I'm not arguing an ideological position. I'm relaying what the military discovered when it studied the situation formally. If you know better than those results please tell me how you came by this information.
