Yeah and if we dropped fricking 50 of them during Korea what message does it send to the word about the acceptability of using nuclear weapons in a non total war scenario?

Maybe try thinking more than two steps in front of you.

Maybe the fallout would blow over the pacific and make a bunch of mutated weak skinny men with ear gauges and fat women with purple hair on the west coast

Oh wait it’s already like that

Well, using that reasoning if we were willing to drop 50 on Korea , seems like overkill, then we would be willing to drop 50 on any nation that even tried to develop their own nuclear weapons, thereby insuring that only we had the capability to do so.

I mean logically speaking, we could have dropped atomic weapons on Moscow immediately after WWII and avoided the Cold War altogether.

I'm not advocating that this is what we should have done, I'm simply saying IF we had of.

This is the problem.


We stopped waging war as a total war and started with this bogus path we’re on today worrying about the other country’s people. I’m all for reducing needless casualties but there’s a certain fear factor from being carpet bombed every night.


When you’re at war with country X, you wage tots war on Country X until they surrender.
