We have an Embassy in northern Iraq?

You don’t think there’s radiation floating around every day all day right now?

IMHO Trump and his administration negotiated from a position of strength. The current administration is the opposite. Negotiations with enemies have there place. Weakness in negotiations never does.

You guys should've kept the nukes we gave you JP instead of making us take them back, then you could nuke them yourself.

One has to seriously question the mental capacity and decision making abilities of anyone who believes Nuclear weapons are the answer to these problems.

I am assuming the people saying "nuke em" are just being cheeky right?...right?

I would sure hope so Donnerservivor

Send a squad of BLM over to loot and burn a city or two.

Bit of a difference between ".03% increase in the risk of cancer" and decomposing while you're still alive because of acute radiation poisoning from nuclear fallout.

.....so y'all do understand that modern nukes are at minimum 20x more powerful then the ones we dropped on Japan right ? That's 20x more fallout 20c more radiation..... I nuke isn't one of these things you just drop and go " well golly gee fella it's there problem now !" So yeah let's just drop a buck on a country full of people who already think the west is literal Satan and will start a holy war at the drop of a dime and........ You know what never mind

I gotta say it still ceases to amaze me that after the last what ? Three decades of fighting nonlinear warfare and every buttcrack of the world people still think the bigger is better deal is still the best option. Yeah many if we where still fighting hanz and his goose stepping buddies in liner warfare then yaaaaah !! Saw what happed to w
hen he tried that crap right ? But trying to fight Taliban man like that or various insurgent groups like that's has proven so many times now not to be the thing to do.

What’s the point of having nukes then?

There's a term called mutual destruction. If someone hits us we hit them in turn so no one wins. It's literally just like there to say " hay ! We can but we won't" honestly it's why I roll my eyes when people talk about some nuking us. Yeah go ahead then what ? Gaining land and resources is one of the biggest points of war and you nuke somone with the crap we got now we'll....

Talk softly and carry a big stick.

Can’t believe we don’t have a “dial a nuke” where it doesn’t have to be 20x the A-bomb but somewhere in between depending on the need.

A man still likes to hit his stick against a tree once in a while.

The point is where would you drop in on who for it to actually be effective? A terrorist organization isnt like a dragon you can just blast and be done, it's a hydra . If you don't do you due diligence and burn off each stump after you cut it off ( and that can take so many forms) another two will just pop right back up on its place. Like ok we just big boy bombed this city....ok you too out what 1 ,2cells ? Ma y one or two big shots? Well woopie ! Right across the border there's 30more upstarts with multiple cells ready to take their places. That's what insergancys give traditional millitarys such a hard time

We have plenty of very large, conventional munitions. We don't need to use nukes to teach an important lesson.

Especially when we have to that when the right people are allowed to do there jobs can punch through a house and detonate inside of one room and killing only those occupants.

Wow

The MOAB was a good "love tap" message to ISIS

The plus of a nuke is it keeps killing long after the blast. Those would be cells are on the clock. They can’t hide when the lights come on if they want to be effective.
