I don't think nukes will be needed. The US is being white-anted from within by disinformation distributed by foreign trolls paid by their governments, principally Russia, followed in order by China, N.Korea and Iran, and possibly smaller players. For whatever reason, from an outside perspective, Republicans appear to be more susceptible to this disinformation. The trolls will achieve everything and more than nukes could. At least if the US was nuked, the people would overlook the political divide and unite against the attacking party/ies.

@Abstraction They probably were until they invaded Ukraine. A few months down the track they are probably a little distracted.
Strange as it may seem, down here at the arse end of the world, Russian trolls are continuing to gain traction in a small group of people. While the US is obviously their main target, it's a worldwide issue.

@novaguy2u Yeah, John Bolton says he believes Putin held off on the invasion because Putin expected Trump to withdraw from NATO. Biden took office in January, and by March Putin has started amassing troops on Ukraine's border; wasting no time in preparing his invasion.

@novaguy2u We’re already toast, I doubt even a nuke would unite us anymore. Republicans would be furiously protesting for their rights to get radiation poisoning. “You can’t tell us not to go to the site where a nuclear bomb exploded yesterday, Trump’s going to hold a rally there!”

Perhaps you have not heard of the security net called Mutual assured destruction.
Mutual assured destruction (MAD) is a doctrine of military strategy and national security policy in which a full-scale use of nuclear weapons by an attacker on a nuclear-armed defender with second-strike capabilities would cause the complete annihilation of both the attacker and the defender.

Even ignoring retaliation, what would they gain?

Do you care to explain what you disagree with me about? I base my opinions and biases on credible sources.
you really should make an appointment soon...

@Diotrephes it is the very fact that you consider any source for such nonsense to be "credible" that makes me worry for your mental health.

When discussing issues, it pays to express them in complete thoughts so that people will understand what you are trying to say. So far you have not conveyed what you disagree with.
Don't be shy.
Simply write: Your views on _____ are pure bull shit for the following reasons:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Then we can proceed to have a rational discussion, if you care to.

Why would China destroy it's largest trading partner?
