Peaceniks.......

This is a repost from 1000 years ago about a bunch of teenagers traveling around Europe warning about the dangers of trebuchets.

Students Financed by Stimulus Dollars Build Grassroots Momentum for Unilateral U.S. Nuclear Disarmament

There. Fixed it.

[OCCASparky]

For all my fellow submariners (and you know who you are):

Have you hugged your TLAM-N or Trident D-5 today?

[17th Miss Regt]

I am sure that if the truth were told, the Russian FSB would be shown to be funding and pushing this using the students (useful tools) as a beard. It happened one generation ago (KGB funding the nuclear freeze and disarmament movement) and it is almost certain that this is happening again.

[17th Miss Regt]

I’m not so sure that the dollars are from the stimulus package. Think FSB or maybe GRU.

[Larry Lucido]

You can’t hug your child with nuclear arms.

Or a chainsaw, for that matter.

Lesson: Only use chainsaws and bombs as intended.

[17th Miss Regt]

Have you hugged your TLAM-N or Trident D-5 today?

Reach out, reach out and touch someone...

[MrB]

Just one question will uproot these guys -

give me one historical example of where pacifism and disarmament avoided war instead of invited it.

[mainestategop]

will China also be protested or is America the only country that can’t have nukes? More likely its the later.

[reagan_fanatic]

Ten to one these idealistic idiots will focus their fury on ‘Western’ powers (i.e., the U.S.) and ignore North Korea, Iran and Russia.

Peeka-Choo!

Guess no teachers have read Herman Kahn

[WayneS]

That which has been invented CANNOT, and even more importantly WILL NOT, be uninvented.

Working towards "nuclear disarmament" is a waste of time.

[a fool in paradise]

The rest of the world won’t give up theirs, and the nations with the fewest are most likely to detonate one first.

It won’t make the world safer for the US to give up ours, it’ll just knock us out of the competition for being a leading nation in this world.

The Soviets almost launched a mutually assured destruction attack in the 1980s and then installed an automated sensing network to give that launch in case a human refuses the command again (or is otherwise incapacitated).

The nuclear genie isn’t going back in the bottle but the stalemate of nuclear missiles has kept the world out of several “hot” wars. I guess these “peaceniks” like hundreds of thousands of casualties. Even Barack prefers it to the nuclear option and has said so.

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

[a fool in paradise]

Barack was working to see that Iran COULD have nuclear power plants (and make their own nukes).

Funny how America can’t have nuclear power OR nuclear weapons but the rest of the world, ok.

[Le Chien Rouge]

Ten to one these idiots also believe that eliminating firarms will reduce crime.......but THEY need armed guard because they are VIP engaged in saving humanity.

[WayneS]

It is so important to him that Ibaraki, at one college campus, used a Pikachu outfit and ran across the campus with a megaphone screaming at people to get excited about it.

WOW! I'm impressed. What committment to his ideals.

I think I FINALLY understand how IMPORTANT "it" is!

[Tax-chick]

Snore. We had these goofs when I was a student 30 years ago. Somehow, the nuclear holocaust never hits before the rent is due, or before finals ...

[glide625]

no guts no glory; they can’t bear the thought of the holocaust that’s surley coming. Best for them to gather at ground zero parties once the missles are launched. It will go far harder on any survivors.
