      With every party involved being nuclear capable?

          If the rebels in question include several state governments then they may indeed be nuclear capable.

            I don’t think they can just turn on them bombs without some sort of electronic approval from the feds.

              They require presidential authority to launch, but the physical operation of the weapons themselves is wholly independent. This allows for things like retaliatory strikes in case leadership is killed or can’t be reached immediately following an attack. This also makes them vulnerable however, if the people overseeing these weapons and the states they’re housed in become compromised by extremist ideologies.

                Man, I just hope they’re not as stupid as trying to use nuclear weapons on American soil, because it will be the end of them. I mean, even Putin hasn’t dared to use them (yet…) - and he’s in an almost all-out war with Ukraine.
