WE'LL SURVIVE NUCLEAR WAR, SAYS INDIA
India boasted yesterday that it would survive a first strike by a Pakistani atomic weapon, but its neighbour would be wiped out in a swift nuclear counter attack.
I would also suspect that the curent PakIndia saber rattling we see right now is just that....... I'm sure that Russia, NATO, etc have briefed both sides as to their fate if they use their new toys........(IMHO)
Stay Safe
That my friend... is pure horse manure.
If they were lucky and launched EVERY thing they had on hawaii, alaska and la or sf... they MIGHT get one of their thirty here... and if it actually made it here, it would probably not work... I can guarantee you this however...
Ours would be there in EVERY major political center of their nation in less than eight minutes... and of the three hundred or so mirved and sub launched nukes, 295 plus would do EXACTL"Y what they were designed to do... there would be NO china... and at worst ONE partially destroyed US city, much like new york... not a small thing, but the economy of scale to consider for China would be unsurvivable.
ANY fool who thinks we actually dismantled our entire neutron bomb program, and that we don't have the ability to deliver it in thirty minutes or less... needs a brain transplant.
the targetting systems on the chinese rockets and their MIRVs, if they have them are OUR technology... and we let them "steal it" for a reason... heh heh... wait till the lights come on, but nobody is at home....
People do not realize how virtually invincible we are militarily as a nation... IF we have the political will to use that might.... the question is do we? The chinese may wonder... and that is dangerous, for THEM.
History SHOULD teach the world... the USA has continually developed weapons beyond belief.. and has proven that they WILL use them on occasion. I would never bet against the USA...
India will crush Pakis in less than fifty minutes... the only problem is how to clean up the radioactive mess and get our troops out of the radioactive wind trails....
If the muslims want a nuke war, fifteen minutes after they THINK they have a working bomb... what would they do if they had some real toys to play with? I think we need to defuse these ticking timebomb muslim nations BEFORE they get some really dangerous toys in their stockpiles that work...
kaboom.
I would've thought with that nickname you might HAVE HAD ONE !!!
SOooooo sorry for the "mix-up", I clearly didn't understand you are one of the FR dullish dolts.
You certainly aren't worth the bother, I wasn't insulting you - just FR sarcasm which is funny if you had any depth.
PS the oprah dig was particularly stinging, since I don't watch her thanks for reminding me she's still on the air.
Ohhh, and it wasn't a DOUBLE post, it was a SIX TIMES...THATS POSTS 127-132....
yes adds up to SIX TIMES I got to read your brilliance...
Normally I wouldn't have 'noticed' much but your CHIMP remark seemed particularly fitting applied to you! Like I said, your screenname would make One THINK you must have some sort of SENSE OF HUMOR...but hey...maybe you do think you are some MAD ROBOT ARTIST hahaha
Usually when people screw up like you did ( or "the computer" did it) wink wink...posters GET that sense of humor about things! DUH!!! (ha)
I am sure that has been considered, but I believe there are more than 100 million of them in India, so that is not a workable option. The US can't do that here either.
It seems that the only long term solution is to keep rooting out any vestige of militant Islamic activity and teaching worldwide. The world will have to learn to view militant Islam as morally reprehensible and to fight it openly anywhere it pops up.
I do not have answers but if both sides are talking about using these weapons we could very well be in a situation where an accidental war like WWI could occur.
Stay well - stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown
Take a wild guess who would clean it up
Ohhh thats funny if they launch against each other it will be seconds before they hit not hours and whos to say that the CHICOMS wont think that enough hasnt been destroyed and they launch on taiwan then what do we deploy our boys all over the world even more and get them invovled even deeper?
BULLSHAT I SAY pull all of our boys back HOME NOW and let these animals destroy each other
