DONALD TRUMP OPEN TO NUCLEAR RETALIATION AFTER BRUSSELS ATTACK
Reena Flores CBS News March 24, 2016 Donald Trump is not ruling out the use of nuclear weapons in the U.S. fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), according to an interview with the GOP front-runner that aired on Bloomberg TV Wednesday.
Asked if he would consider nuclear retaliation after this week's terror attacks in Brussels, Trump responded: "Well, I'm never gonna rule anything out. And I wouldn't wanna say. Even if I felt -- it wasn't going -- I wouldn't wanna tell you that because, at a minimum, I want them to think maybe that we would use it."
"The fact is that we need unpredictability," Trump said of his openness to using nuclear weapons. "When you ask a question like that, it's a very - it is a very sad thing to have to answer it because the enemy is watching and I have a very good chance of winning. I frankly don't want the enemy to know how I'm thinking. But with that being said, I don't rule out anything."
When pressed on whether he would have utilized America's nuclear capabilities after September 11, Trump said that he would only have used it as a "last resort."
During his interview, Trump emphasized that terrorists "are winning" and "we don't do anything about it."

I would use the LeMay strategy concerning Japan in WWII as a guide. You save Mecca for last, Medina being the penultimate target. Begin with other holy cities: Qom, Sana'a, then the shrines at Najaf and Karbala, and then the al-Aqsa. The idea is to up the ante with each demolition, always saying with each demolition which one is next when the next attack occurs.
This only works if the military bases are also destroyed, so that there won't be counterstrikes, of course, just as we did with the Japanese.
“Also the fallout problem with actual nukes remains. They have to be worth a desperation move that would pollute a large segment of the world with radioactivity.”
You’re at least 40 years behind the times and spouting nonsense that even the Left who use it know not to be true.
calling barry goldwater...it easter and time to listen to and prepare for another “cruz-a-fiction” this time to Trump....cruz-a-fiction is a real POS and so are the media establishment enabling activities
Nuke Mecca, Medina, and Qom and Muslims are reset back to 622 AD. Kinda like rebooting a computer.
Hey, just a thought.

Even today, Hiroshima is a glowing wasteland:

I say we take off and nuke the entire site (Mecca) from orbit...it’s the only way to be sure.
Yes, not all are great leaders like Obama who will tell our enemy our attack routes and how many troops we would send, not to mention the precise day we would withdraw.
Like the Zika virus, Trumpisms have infected the Trumpkins. They use misspelled tweets or pics when their Dear Leader gets caught making asinine statements.
This ass is definitely going to lose the general election that will change our country forever.
So why do you have a problem with that? Wasn't the purpose of building a superior war machine that included B-52's and nuclear weapons to deter warfare?
Apologists such as you remind me of Obama; neither one of your philosophies garner global respect for our military and economic contribution to the world.......
I do not see nothing wrong with what he said. As far as they are concerned now, this country is a bunch of wussies. They have nothing to fear because they know we are not going to do anything. Let them be scared for a change. Vote Trump.
Okay, see, this is all I need to know. He understands that you can't tell the enemy just exactly what to expect. We aren't parents raising children, we are people fighting an enemy, and Trump understands that.
I support Cruz and I agree with Trump here.
And we all know how Goldwater fared in the general election.
Mondale tried to retread that against Reagan. They cailed..
ROCK THE CABAH!
Any of that won’t work in 30-second Hillary hit ad on Trump anymore than how Goldwater was hammered and we all know how he did in the general elections.
Troll? Just because I have the temerity to point out the fact that Trump’s poop stinks?
