POLL: Should we nuke ISIS?

Does the fact that this is the only reason you objected to mean that you accept the other three I gave?

 

Our using nukes was arguably one of the most evil acts in the history of warfare.

 

no, it probably saved the world from nuclear war, as we all got to see what nukes could do to human populations

 

LOL

It ended WW2 and saved countless American lives.

 

It was both an evil act and a boon. A nuclear weapon means peace for whatever nation has it.

 

i am confident that had we not dropped the bomb on Hiroshima & Nagasaki, the Cold War would have gone nuclear.

 

It sure hasn't meant peace for us

 

Sadly the casualties from using nuclear weapons were very similar to fire bombing places like tokyo
There is every reason to believe that Germany or japan would have used these weapons if they had the alternative... It was total war

 

If we decide to not nuke ISIS because of their proximity to our closest ally Israel, then we should still consider all available means of liberation for the Iranians, since they are sufficiently far from Israel. Iran of course is also terrorizing the heroic folks of Syria through their evil, IslamoMercenary terror. Not to mention their support of terror against Israel and also against American interests.

By liberating Iran, we avert a wider war and a humanitarian catastrophe. Iran's liberation is a rational thing to proceed with.

 

I think we should nuke the next person who uses the word nuke... my god the devastation and destruction of a nuclear weapon and you toss the question around as if it's taco Tuesday

 

...and saved thousands of Japanese, British and Allied lives as well.

 

Biggest lie ever told, made to soothe consciences.

Japan was all but disarmed, had no fuel, was in rebellion, and furthermore the Soviets just declared war on them.

The main object of the bombing were not Japan's surrender, but to offer the Soviets a show of force.

For that, the Bikini Atoll tests were sufficient.

 

Only if we had devided to invade Japan which clearly wasn't necessary.

 

Well at least it does mean America won't start a war with that country. But since We had nukes when we went to Vietnam, Iraq and Afganistan clearly the posession of nukes doesn't keep a nation from starting a war with countries that don't have nukes. Suspect this truth is the real reason for countries anting their own nukes.

That's a joke, right!

 

Death tolls from our firebombing of Dresden was about 25,000. While as immoral as our use of nukes, the death toll and results are hardly comperable.

 

Do you know how many Americans have been killed by ISIS?

 

check your facts, you are way off.

 

Currently, there are only 3 groups of terrorists against whom nukes are viable:
1) ISIS
2) Iran
3) Syria

If we feel that nuking ISIS and Syria is not a good idea, due to the nuclear cloud spreading to our best ally Israel, then this only leaves Iran as an option.

Iran is of course the epicenter of global IslamoTerrorism, helping Assad to commit the Syrian genocide and financing the Palestinian Occupier Terrorists (POTs) against the Heroic Israeli Patriots (HIPs).

I fully empathise with the position of those who say that nuking ISIS in Syria is bad, since it is close to Israel.

Has the time come to plan liberation processes for Iran? The Iranian people are oppressed and terrorized by their Evil Mullah Leaders. If we choose our targets carefully, we can liberate a significant % of the Iranian population.

 

No. No nukes. Too hard to recover from them and the radiation won't cooperate and stay in Syria. Even if we order it to do so.

I do suspect that the Alexanders, the Caesars, the Khans, the Attilas, the Charlemagnes, the Napoleons, the Rommels and the Pattons of history would have figured out a way, if totally unleashed, to wipe out Isis. And all without nukes. There would be some lamentations here and there, but ... yeah.

 

Fair enuf. Hence my proposal above.

 

nobody would attack Russia and risk total annihilation. If we launched our nukes at Russia they will launch them back at us.. all because ISIS got taken out? Never going to happen.

 

We're not just talking about ISIS being taken out. We're talking killing masses of people in neighboring areas. The US would have effectively declared war on the middle east, Israel included.

The world would be so terrified of the USA, that it would be seen as a far greater threat than ISIS ever was.

Meanwhile, in the US and Europe, huge numbers of once law-abiding Muslims become radicalized supporters of terrorism.

 

This info about fire bombing of tomyo

 

So your solution is to guarantee your country's civilians also being annihilated? Dont ever run for office..

 

Drop nukes and even Europe would be against us.
