when people say that a modern nuke is 200 or whatever times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb, that's true but in the least meaningful way possible.

But even so yeah a new nuke vs. a city would be a whole different kettle of fish

He wished it could be as respectable and orthodox as spying. But somehow in his hands the traditional tools and attitudes were always employed toward mean ends: cloak for a laundry sack, dagger to peel potatoes, dossiers to fill up dead Sunday afternoons ...

Mons Hubris posted:

That could just mean dropping 50 nukes on them instead of 2

We didnt really drop 2 in the way he would drop 50

It was more like we dropped one, and we were like "wanna keep going? You sure you're cool with this? Okay"

Then we dropped our other one, and were like "i mean, by all means, stay proud. We can do this as long as we want"

And thankfully they did not call that bluff because it would have taken a while to make 2 more of 'em

It's an approval poll not an election poll

I know but, it's still a national poll, right? From stories I've seen, Trump is still polling really, really well in those rust belt, coal country places that won the election for him. The point being, no one should assume that his job approval ratings translate into votes against Trump or the GOP.

Everyone here saying "oh they won't let Trump actually launch the nukes, he's just fat and dumb" needs to step back and take a look at whose in charge of our government. And I don't just mean Trump. McMaster and Mattis are begging trump to send in more Troops and he's actually resisting. We're been on borrowed time for a while now.

Has there ever been a time since WW2 where the military didn't want to go further than the politicians would let them?

Mattis is not going to concur in a first strike. trump would have to fire him and appoint a new secdef
