Yes, they were quite plentiful weren’t they?
Especially when the Frank Davis-trained ‘community organizer” took office
The PARANOIA was just overwhelming, wasn’t it?
And editors from Scientific American get their credentials in military and diplomatic issues from where?!
This article freely mixes apples and potatoes. Trump is not even close to expending our entire nuclear arsenal on this windbag. Mentioning the launching of 400 missiles is ridiculous. Four would probably be more than sufficient.
The slams on President Trump in this article are obvious. This includes the statements about how the handlers of the launch codes have to pass mental exams.
Liberals have never understood the deterrence afforded by a nuclear arsenal. They have demonstrated that their brand of diplomacy has not deterred North Korea one bit. But they are certain that when someone arrives who speaks brashly to this punk N.K. dictator in his own language, that that is really dangerous.
Remember these articles during the Obama and Clinton administrations?
They wanted Obama and the USA to Surrender to the Rogue Regimes Worldwide, I bet Obama is pissed off as hell he missed out on his chance to Formally waive the White Flagn on behalf of the USA, not much has changed, they are just pissed Trump might stand up and fight for WE THE PEOPLE!
Contacting the four congressional leaders could take more time than we would have to initiate a response. Hence we would get blown up and not be able to respond. The author of the SA article is a communist stooge.
From the editors of Political Scientific American.
Hmmm . . . Let me see.
US has used nukes two times in its history.
President at the time—Truman—was a DEMOCRAT!!!
Why the hell didn’t they write/publish this type of article during the OBAMA ADMINISTRATION?
Liberals have never understood
You can just leave it right there, no need to qualify any further.
Think that bitch from Maine and say that
Any nuclear strike of any magnitude would only take place as a last resort to convince the stubborn enemy that further resistance is futile.
The more conventional form of warfare, pounding targets with aerial bombardment of non-nuclear nature, bunker-busters and MOAB drops, strafing motor columns on the ground, taking out concentrations of enemy war material, breaking up lines of communications, and generally making life quite complicated for the North Korean ruling elite, including Kim Jong Un, would be applied first. If total demoralization of the North Korean army does not then take place, whether Kim has attempted to launch nuclear weapons or not, THEN the decision to use sterner measures is warranted. Whether that includes nukes or not, is a command decision, coming from the top.
Nuclear weapons are not, and never should be, the first option in any military engagement. They are very definitely last resort.
The Editors .....does that go for Kim in NK? I bet it doesn’t to them. Yep read all those articles during the clinton and obama regimes......................NOT!
So Russia or China decides to launch all of their nukes. We react by appointing a Congressional committee to study the issue and try to come up with a consensus.
It will be a short war.
That’s been my viewpoint ever since they felt compelled to weigh in on Reagan’s Pershing II deployment.
Hey, let’s do it by Congressional Committee? Think that’ll get’er done, “Editors”?
“Taking the arsenal off high alert is an important step. But putting another check into the system - removing one person’s unfettered ability to destroy the world - will create another essential, lasting safeguard for the U.S. and the planet.” And a lasting benefit to enemies which have no such restraint ... Putin, Xi, Un, and Khamenei are up and cheering!
Well of course not. I’m so sick of this crap against Trump! Everyday something or someone comes out against this man. Just hope those who DIDN’T vote for him come to feel the same way.
So do these wise “Editors” think we should have consulted with Hirohito beforehand?
How about with the Deep State? Can they keep a secret?
Mitch? Lyin Ryan? Amy’s uncle? How bout “you’ll have to pass it before you know what’s in it”?
Those kind of advisers?
