So we should throw away American lives and many billions of dollars on military adventures being the world’s police? No thanks, that’s not what I voted for Trump for.
So we should throw away American lives and many billions of dollars on military adventures being the world’s police?
So what’s the cost of a few nukes of Iranian origin hitting the US? How much does the total destruction of NYC and Chicago cost? How many people would die immediately and how many later?
Examples:
A very modest Hiroshima sized 20KT air burst over Manhattan kills 287,000; 100 kt kills 583,000; a 1.20mt (B-83) kills 1,800,00 with 3,336,730 “wounded”.
A 20KT air burst over Chicago kills 165,000; 100 kt kills 267,960; a 1.20mt (B-83) kills 676,750.
Current North Korean and likely Iranian warhead size about 70kt but the will get larger - so we should wait until they get on par with us because that would be fair and all our military people could die at home en mass instead of a handful in the ME sandbox.
Since D-Day in Normandy saw 4,000 US boys killed in the first hours, it was not worth it and we should have just called the whole thing off - no more US soldiers blood will stain the European Earth - its their problem - let them work it out. That’s how that would have gone with the German-American Bund holding massive celebrations and parades up and down the US mainland.
Let’s just wait it out since it is just a matter of time before Iran gets bold enough to nuke the US paper tiger and that would be fair.
