I thought the point of SIOP was to prevent that sort of over targeting?

No it was to make sure USAF asset A didn't nuke Navy asset Y. The over targeting was a feature - there were some random bridges in rear end nowhere Siberia that were eating a couple of nukes for good measures.

wouldnt it be dangerous to do such a thing? if it works, trumps emboldened? if it fails, well everyones watching?

Shooting at someone else's aircraft or spacecraft is an act of war. So yes, it would be foolish to do it without good reason. A rational actor would not do so.

One could argue that the current president of the United States is not a rational actor.

I like how Irma is making a 90 degree right turn at Cuba so it can go gently caress up Florida and Georgia after destroying the entire Caribbean.

Meanwhile, people on Facebook are talking about how hurricanes are created by offshore moisture machines to drive up the price of gas.

The worst that happens during an ice storm is that you maybe lose power for a couple of hours. The worst that happens during a hurricane is that your house gets blown away or inundated with 20 feet of water.

We had an ice storm in 1998 where some areas didn't have power for upwards of three weeks and a dozen people died.

Canada and the US have a reciprocal agreement where they don't let each other's felons in. People with DUIs get that kind of letters.

Trump is the inevitable end game of a process that started well over a decade ago. If you think of America as a five gallon of hooch in a shed, the Trump presidency is the burp of gas released by the class and race tension fermentation process. If it hadn't been him now it would have been someone else down the road.

Now whether America spills over or matures into decent hooch, that's going to depend on what happens after 2020 and that's going to be the really interesting part. This is just the "what the gently caress" prelude to actual History.

Last time Quebec had a referendum the government let it happen, but sent a whole lot of people to tell us that they loved us, please stay.

Independence defeated by less than a percentage point, people moved on and now 20 years later the movement is pretty much dead except as a bogeyman in English language media.
