If the US gets hit with a nuke we will nuke everyone.
Quit living in Dhimmicrat land. Get real. It will happen before you and your friends at the NY Times have a chance to print an editorial (I'm not saying you're a friend of theirs, I'm saying you're living in the same fantasy).
Hell hath no fury like a nation raped by a nuke.
The real question is are you an enabler?
If a nuke goes off in a US city then reality, as you understand it, ceases to exist. If you don't understand that then you are living not just in a fantasy land, but in an electric candy colored kool aid smoking that really good weed 60s hate America first PC land. You wanna explain to someone from Texas (figuratively) why you don't want to nuke "the rag heads when they've just nuked New York? What would you like me to tell your next of kin?
Wake up and smell the humus or billions will die. YOU are part of the problem, not part of the solution. It's more comfortable to deny reality. Unfortunately it gets people killed. On this subject it gets entire populations killed. We can't afford that. Don't enable THEM. Don't underestimate them. Don't excuse them, or when they do what they do you will get trampled in the fury.
So you're proposing that in the event of a nuclear terrorist attack, we drop nuclear weapons on millions/billions of people that haven't attacked us, regardless of whether it accomplishes anything?
Brilliant.
Tell me though, how would you go about deciding where to drop the weapons? If a Palestinian plants a bomb, are you willing to destroy Israel? If a U.S. citizen is involved, would you wipe out Denver to teach us a lesson?
You've clearly given this a lot of well-reasoned thought, so I'm quite curious to hear how you think it would work.
