It might be strategically stupid for them to do it. Or it might not. The success or failure of their strategy (which probably doesn't and never will include nukes) depends on how we react to it.
If our response was random nuking of Muslim cities, I'd have to say that their use of nukes might well be strategically brilliant, because of the likely response of the rest of the world (including China and Russia, for opportunistic reasons) to our actions.
If, however, our response was to quickly and violently take down the governmental and religious institutions that supported them (as in Afghanistan), then I'd say their use of nukes would be a strategic disaster, because in that case places like China and Russia, and probably even Europe, would take advantage of the opportunity to crush Radical Islam in their own spheres of influence. An added benefit would be that we end up in direct control of the oil in these sh*tholes.
Bottom line is this: responding to terrorist attacks with nukes probably does far more harm than good. IMO it's far more effective to take the "imperialist" route.
Nope. Never was, either. But perhaps you're only pretending to be dense.
Nice to see you back, rdb. Hope you're feeling well.
That is exactly the question I posed and answered myself in the immediate wake of a spate of media whitewash articles attempting to "humanise" the London bombers, one story prattling on about how the good young man helpd handicapped and disadvantaged children...
IF we cannot tell the difference between the quiet, agreeable "man of faith" helping in, and ostensibly contributing to, our communities - AND the vociferous, hate filled, polarising wahaabi-extremist-type...
Once it comes down to their actions, then can we know who we may trust? If so, how?
No, we cannot, and there is a demonstrated consequence already to pretending that we can and may do so!
Therefore, in the name of insuring our own survival and the safety and prosperity of future generations - the muslims have, in and of themselves and the failures of their own communities to what is right despite repeated opportunities, brought down the weight of a narrowing field of options as to how we must deal with them and secure ourselves.
We CANNOT TRUST THEM, NO NOT EVEN ONE!!!
Therefore it is time to start closing mosques, deporting with permanent exclusions, interning, and registering them in stages.
I really do not care where or how it begins - I only care for the future of my country first and shoulder to shoulder for the other countries who would remain democracies and Constitutional republics free of the threat of islam and sharia second - THAT IT BEGIN NOW. YESTERDAY or TODAY.
YUP! Today would be good. Or Next Monday at 9:00am EST.
Like Nike, JUST FRIGGIN' DO IT.
AN ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!
A stitch in time saves nine, etc...

"Let the Final Crusade commence!"
"And you're going to start a real shooting war with all of them."
The same "they" you refer to as "them", you frigging moron.
-PJ
Analogy, after analogy, after analogy...NUKE THEM NOW, before they nuke us...bottom line!
If you re-read the post to which you're referring, it is clear that the "them" I was talking about is the billion or so Muslims with whom we are not currently in a shooting war. Thus, unlike you, I have provided a definition of "them."
you frigging moron
LOL! Do you eat with that mouth?
Nuke who?
