Maybe you should enter a defensive alignment with Russia. You could pay them with better nuke power technology. And they would use their weapons to protect you from the US. go back to the old East German model...

AH, no, I would ally with north-korea.

AH, when I say USA=Militiaristic/Expansionist, don't you think that implies, that I don't want anything to with people who spend 60 % of their taxes for military-spending ? In other words, a country with an East-German system ?

Afraid of countries using nuclear weapons:

Pakistan, USA

Afraid of countries leaking nuclear weapons:

Russia, Pakistan (when things there get out of control)

the problem in these days does not come from a nuclear bomb being launched by means of a rocket. It comes from one that is being smuggled in ... me thinks

And learn history. I think you can read stuff now. Not like it was 20 years ago.

Actually, nuking some city in the center of Israel, like Tel Aviv, would kill very few Arabs at all. Nukes are not that powerful people, don't exagerate their power.

A good nuke has around 40 km in complete killing radius. and another 40 with 50% fatalities, IIRC. this would kill tens of thousands of Arabs in Jaffa and Lud, and will kill lots of Palestinians as well.

No it doesn't. A 1 Megaton nuclear device would kill about 90% of the people within about a 4 mile radius, with an exponential drop-off with eery single mile more. I have looked this up several times in books about Nuclear effects. Up to 20 miles out you do get serious injuries, blast damage of some sort and heat damage, plus anyone who was looking in the direction of the bomb is blinded. Still, that is well bellow your 40 km radius, and nukes in the megaton range are rare now.

Not to intrude on your anti-American rant, pal, but 60% is a wildly inflated figure. If you are going to exaggerate for effect, it's best not to double the number.

Frankly, if it's the US using nukes that worries you, you should hope the US's conventional forces stay strong, because so long as we have conventional superiority, there will be no need whatsoever to use nukes, other than as a deterrent (MAD).
