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."

Air delivery of “the gift that keeps on giving”; Plutonium..
Ttrump gave the right answer. Never show your hand to the sworn enemy.
I don’t agree, but we’ll just have to wait and see.
And that's how you silence all this BS.
Actually this is one of the more intelligent things Trump has said in an interview. He is saying basically why tell our enemies what we will do and what we won’t do. The title is misleading as hell. I’m a Cruz supporter by the way.
Its not 1964 - expect different reactions.
I still love that song. Combat Rock!
What a propagandist headline.
You're dutifully carrying water...
“And we all know how Goldwater fared in the general election.”
Yeah, those of us old enough to have witnessed it remember John Kennedy being assassinated less than a year before the election.
With the consensus being that no one was going to defeat Johnson riding the coattails of the martyred Kennedy.
But go ahead and keep posting Lyndon Johnson’s old propaganda, the just-give-up Left still loves it and it suits you.
IMHO, the Azoic Era would be more effective..
Perhaps Trump should've hit the dance floor, instead of ISIS like Hussein 0bama, just show that he is "serious"?
When ISIS hits us with a dirty bomb, or worse - an Iranian, NORK or black market soviet nuke, we have to be prepared for full retaliation.
I was told if I didn’t vote for Johnson, we’d have riots in the streets and get into a long, unwinnable war. Well I didn’t vote for Johnson, and darned if they weren’t right.
Yes, there are little nukes, but why? But please bring your data forth.
ISIS isn’t a country. Its evil, destructive terrorists are located all over the world.
So where would Donald Trump drop a nuclear bomb if he wanted to destroy ISIS? On Brussels? On London? On San Diego?
It’s not enough that Donald Trump has given Hillary and the Democrats ammunition to attack him as a racist, misogynist, and xenophobe, he’s now given them the opportunity to portray him as Dr. Strangelove.
Every time Donald Trump opens his mouth, Hillary becomes more and more inevitable in her quest for the White House.
truer words were never spoken. They already use our govt against us.
Simply infiltrate a PC country, and start an organization like CAIR where everyone who raises a red flag about Muslim immigration is demonized.
Terrorists win.
start by nuking Medina,... then tell them mecca is next if they don’t cut the crap
And from that day forward, Jerusalem is neutral territory- all faiths can come as long as they come in peace AND submit to search for explosives...
********************
On the contrary, imho, it makes him an even more attractive candidate, but we shall see.
Medina first, as a warning.
Then Mecca.
