In the Civil War, the casulties that included both sides totaled to 620,000+ men.

If the Civil War was fought today and we had the same proportion of casualties, we would lose five million + men.


Payne is a nutcase in shrugging off 20 million human lives lost for his pet project of playing with nukes.

I think we should launch a preemptive nuclear strike on Keith Payne. After moving him to a secure location (i.e. far away from DC) first, of course.

Just drop him off in North Korea, with an attached note saying, "This man wants to nuke you."

So? Rwandans killed 11% of their own population and the country survived. Cambodians did in 20% + of their population and still made it.

Its gruesome, but you can lose 5% of your pop and still be more than alive as a state. Just look at Paraguay.

Great examples

I suppose those were stable countries beforehand?

I agree with TEF's sentiments.





GePap's thoughts frighten me.

Why do we always downplay the power of foreign nations?!

I was just wondering in Lancer's thread what the hell we needed 5,000 nukes for anyway. (This is AFTER 5,000 are to be reduced in the next few years).

Even we aren't that cruel. He might try to escape to China *shudder*

Let's nominate who gets to ride one of the bombs down.

Hell, you can lose about 1/7 of your population, and still make it. look at the SU.

But denying that you'll be in a world of **** is pointless.

Look on the brightside, its getting more and more likely that we'll get to see the end of our times on this planet

[notyoueither]

What happens when you look on the bright side of a nuclear blast?

Now that's a bunch of rubbish. What makes you say this?

Sorry, but I'm having difficulty wrapping my brain around the article in the OP. That anyone thinks this is a good idea...
