Would arabs/Iranians use nukes if they got them?

Glass supports no one.

You can't nuke everyone; there will surely be survivors that could join terrorist groups. They'd probably be more concerned about not starving to death, however.

If you want battle over which nation committed the cruelest things in the 19th century we could be talking about the extinction and expulsion of native Americans too.

Go ahead. The Americans are bloodthirsty too, although their death toll doesn't approach that of the Belgians. You really are overachievers when it comes to mass murder.

Also a lot of these terrorist groups would be counting on the US to retaliate and overreact. That's how they gain new recruits (people thinking maybe the West is that bad).

Why is retaliation bad? Some think we should just ignore it? They are really are nuts.

At a certain point anger at others turns into anger at their own leaders.

Setting off a blast that brought nuclear retaliation probably qualifies.

And if you nuke the entire Muslim world, well, the entire world will be incensed and welcome to World War III as Europe & Asia tries to overthrow the American Hitler.

Europe may react like that.

In India, we will dance in the streets.

No nukes.

Let's get real about the USA and nukes. We're going to have to be very provoked to do such a thing.
I mean, think about it. President Bush didn't nuke anyone. You all say it couldn't be worse, so..it would seem all is well? Right?

That's not true of strategic attacks by foreign countries.

I can't see Europe just standing by while the US commits an atrocity that would dwarf the Holocaust by a factor of 100.


We would write a very angry letter and would feel smug and superior to those horrible monsters across the pond. We would off course immediately start sending humanitarian aid to the Middle East and the European Union would most likley send troops to the region to prevent further genocidal acts by the US. We would have to start rebuilding their economy in order to prevent starvation and the simplest way to do that is ensure the oil starts flowing again.

We could never supply a criminal regime with such a precious strategic resource, we would have to keep it all for ourselves until democracy in the US would meet the standards set by the council of Europe and the US would hand over their administration to be tried by the international criminal court. :crying:

So if we nuke American missile silos, carrier groups and California, will Obama be impeached? Or do we have to nuke Texas and New York as well to do that?

Why not? You actually helped the Nazis carry out the Holocaust.

It's not the billion people dead, it's the fact that all our old enemies would be gone in one shot.

That would depend on whether there were any left to recruit. This is my point. We tell them that if they can't police their people they won't have a people to police. We will not be nuked twice.

Once again, define "support"

Are you nuking the entire Muslim world? Because if you just nuke Iran, Pakistan, Syria, the rest of the Muslim world will be incensed and you will have new recruits in droves.

And if you nuke the entire Muslim world, well, the entire world will be incensed and welcome to World War III as Europe & Asia tries to overthrow the American Hitler.

I don't have to define support, I'm retaliation nuking everyone. If you nuke everyone you don't have to define anything but 'they won't be nuking us again'.

[Lancer]

See, that's the way of the world. The Arab terrorists nuke us so we nuke them and its all our fault. Well fine. We're strong enough not to have to worry about what the idiotic euros think.

Stand back or get your share of the spank.

We're even strong enough to smile about it.
