    I’m fairly sure the divided states have more operational nukes than the rest of the world combined. Meaning nuking them will end with near total annihilation of the planet. Accomplishing what exactly?

      Honestly I’m fine with that. Everyone dies might as well stand for something.

      At least I’d die with the knowledge China’s going to absolutely smash you when you have no allies.

        Don’t get me wrong, I am with you on “might as well stand for something” - I just don’t agree with being the party to use WMD. Even if I had nukes and someone was sending their nukes to me, I wouldn’t fire back. What’s the point in taking everyone with me when I won’t be around anymore?

          Because your weakening them for the next guy, likely China in this case. WMD should be a last resort but this is America the only way to fight back is hitting them with absolutely everything. What happens when Trump decides he wants the UK or Australia for a golf course .

          Fuck him we will all go together.

            Leaving the planet uninhabitable and killing off not only civilians as well as countless animals is the kind of pettiness that has me believe humans do not deserve to evolve.
