Memeing aside and for serious, yeah launching nukes would be bad becaus it normalizies their use. Even if China shoots all of them down and doesn’t retaliate, there is now an established precedent. Anyone combating the US knows they will be used and now has an incentive to launch theirs first. Even one hit would kill tens of thousands of people at minimum.
I’m just hoping should reactionaries decide on the Samson Protocol, it won’t be as bad as it could be because other nations correctly predicted how to counter it.
