They fantasize that if we are weak and vulnerable, we will no longer be as tempting a target. Or that we will just shirk any international role of action...and not draw unwanted attention by the monsters who do take over the world....appeasement [ worked so well for Britain and the U.S. in WW-II you know... ]
[ Corrollary assumption...the liberals don't really believe these folks who threaten to nuke us are monsters...they just have "different perspectives."]
Well, some say liberalism is a sickness. If so, perhaps the only cure is to subject the infected to a nuclear attack. Beware those those who survive that though, because their symptoms will expand ten fold as they blame their defenders.
This is part of specific psychosis. They think we are hated becuase we are strong. They think this because the were most likely the kind of kids that were picked on in school. Rather than fight back, they learned to "Hate" those who were stronger than they--both good and bad.
They hate the strong "bad" kids because they were picked on by them. They hate the strong "good" kids, because they didn't suffer the way they did (jealosy). If only they had all been equal in their weakness, things would have been better.
Because they hate those who are stronger than they are physically (and morally), they assume that those who hate us do so for the same reasons.
