  • I had some really good friends in high school who were home schooled for k-10, then they did high school like normal.

    They were a little eccentric but had a really good foundation. They were in a home school group thing, so they also socialized and different parents would teach different subjects.

    So it can be done outside the religious weirdo parents situation.








  • Who exactly is doing the “Mutually Assured” part for Iran?

    If the US deploys a nuke in Iran:

    • as long as it’s not an ICBM over adversaries, it won’t trigger immediate response systems. Tactical nuke would probably be the choice.
    • Russia won’t nuke the US back for this. China won’t nuke the US back for this. Iran doesn’t have nukes, though could do a dirty bomb or something – but that’s not consistent with MAD. Pakistan is cozying up to the US for their war in Afghanistan, and India isn’t highly aligned. There’s no way the EU would nuke the US in retaliation, they’d only deploy them defensively.
    • As much as I would want, I can’t see Canada or Europe severing all ties with the US or going to war over it, which would be the only acceptable responses.

    I do not want the US to do this, they absolutely shouldn’t, but I fear they could do it and it would stir up only a tepid response from protesters and not governments.
