“No way. Why didn’t LBJ drop the big one on the NV gooks?”
Wasn’t a declared war—is my guess? Goldwater wanted to bomb them into the stone age tho. MacArthur wanted to drop nukes on the Chi-coms in Korea.
I think we would have nuked Berlin to tell the Russians “look what we have”. But the war ended too “soon”. Of course, it’s all speculation at this point.
Then wouldn't this be the best time for them to attack?
Dave Wilkerson (author of Cross & the Switchblade) prophesied in '73 that Russia would eventually attack us with nuclear missiles, and that we would not respond.
1. Our strategic forces and nuclear arsenal are a mere shadows of themselves compared to the Cold War, and I strongly suspect their reliability is highly questionable.
2. Russia and China have been continually moderizing and upgrading their strategic weapons systems and forces. What have we done?
3. You have to have a 'National Command Authority' that is decisive and willing to fight back. 0bama and his yes-men, panty-waist "generals" don't fit that criteria.
I’m reading SECRETS OF STATE by Michael Palmer. Makes a pretty good case for Pakistan as the most likely source for terrorists to get hold of a bomb.
The Vietnam war was not WWII.
All the more reason to drop it. With no possible retaliation. It would have saved 50k lives.
How goofy.
Show the world that we are nuke crazy nuts, and nuke a country supported at the time by Red China and the Soviet Union, and on China’s border.
And for more goofiness, what in the world does that have to with Germany in WWII, in nuking Germany, there would truly have not been any retaliation.
