Instead of pushing for a solution, we move nukes??? It’s time to push back on the military industrial complex and get diplomats working.

We can do both.

But note that "nuclear sub" refers to its power system, not armament. Nuclear subs can carry both nuclear and conventional weapons. This is not a threat to nuke Israel or Palestine.

Edit: per articles quoting the Navy dude, this is a guided-missile sub, not a ballistic missile sub, meaning it only carries convention weapons, no nuclear weapons. That is, Tomahawk missiles.
