Trump is tough I feel like he would have destroyed any threat. And 911 wouldn’t have happened. What y’all think?

Trump doesn't really listen to the intelligence communities from what I've heard. So he'd probably never see it coming. I think his response would have been significantly harsher.

@ViciDraco That's a horrible thought. Harsher than war? Like nuclear strikes?

What would be wrong with a nuclear strike? Means a 5 minute war vs a war that lasts many years @windinhishair
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@marriedplus3 Right. A few million deaths. A large area on earth that is unusable for generations. Nuclear fallout around the globe. No problem.

So you support forcing a raped woman to have a baby, but have no problem killing millions of innocent men, women, children, and oh yes, babies, in a nuclear strike? Are you a real person or just a troll account?

Wait a minute now didn’t we drop 2 nukes on Japan? And didn’t that end that war? Japan seemed to come back just fine. Now I hate death especially of innocent children. But unfortunately war kills people rather nuclear or not.@windinhishair

@marriedplus3 A world war is a far different situation than being attacked by 19 Saudis and Yemenis. The two bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki killed hundreds of thousands of innocent people, and our bombs are much bigger today. Do you think your God condones murdering millions of innocent people? Which ones would you pick to die for you so you could feel good about getting "revenge"?
marriedplus3 · 31-35, M
We have smaller nukes. As well as big ones. I hate war and i hate death. It’s very sad that war is even needed it be great if all nations just got along. But unfortunately sometimes war is needed and our wars last way to long and cost way to much @windinhishair
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@marriedplus3 Well, as long as it only costs a few million innocent Muslim lives to save the US money, I guess you'd be fine with that. You hate war and death, but not if it saves money.

And exactly how would that have worked with 9/11? We already went to war, and the $50 million three-month war promised by Bush turned into two multiple decades-long wars costing over 4,000 US lives and at least half a million of other lives in the Middle East while costing trillions of dollars.

@marriedplus3

I'd say most of the people in Japan knew they were fighting a war with the United States since 12-7-1941.

I doubt most of the people in Afghanistan could even tell you were New York is, let alone that Mullah Omar was harboring Osama bin Laden.

To be honest I never liked bush. He lied about how long that war would last and overall wasn’t a very good president. It should have been a much shorter war. Keep in mind I’m against war overall @windinhishair

@ViciDraco Trump doesn't really listen to the intelligence communities from what I've heard.

Where the hell did you hear that? FAKE NEWS!

Trump DOES SO listen to the intelligence communities.

He listens to the Слу́жба вне́шней разве́дки Российской Федерации and the Гла́вное разве́дывательное управле́ние all the time.
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@marriedplus3 Yes, Bush and Cheney lied. And Trump lies even more.

Listen to yourself--you say you're against war, but you're willing to kill millions of innocent people in a nuclear strike.
marriedplus3 · 31-35, M
Well how many people did we kill without nuclear war after 911?@windinhishair
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@marriedplus3 At least half a million Iraqis. Because of Bush/Cheney lies. So you'd use their lies to justify you killing millions of innocent people with a nuclear strike? Disgusting.
marriedplus3 · 31-35, M
Well what exactly would be the impact of a nuclear strike? Perhaps big enough to wipe out a city? @windinhishair
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@marriedplus3 I suggest you do some reading on our strikes on Japan. Nuclear weapons should never be used again. It is sickening that you treat them so cavalierly.
marriedplus3 · 31-35, M
Japan rebuilt and there ok now. The only reason nuclear weapons are needed is because of other evil countries @windinhishair
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@marriedplus3 Japan still suffers the effects of the nuclear attack. You are profoundly and willfully ignorant.
marriedplus3 · 31-35, M
How exactly are they still suffering from a attack that occurred many years ago? @windinhishair
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@marriedplus3 Educate yourself. Please? The radiation remained high for many years. People still suffer medical issues from the fallout. No one should ever use nuclear weapons again, especially as you have proposed to kill millions of innocent people and save money.
marriedplus3 · 31-35, M
How long does nuclear fallout really last exactly @windinhishair
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@marriedplus3 What do you mean, really? Like it is some kind of fake news? Nuclear detonations create fallout that depends on the size and type of the detonation, weather, topography, height of detonation, and other factors. Some radioactive isotopes have long half lives, which means the radiation will remain in the environment for generations. Cesium 137 and Strontium 90 have half lives of 28-30 years, so half of all the radiation due to those isotopes will be there 30 years later, and a quarter in 60 years, and so on. Both get into the human body readily and induce bone and other cancers. People still get cancer from the Nagasaki and Hiroshima nuclear blasts. There are also reproductive effects.

Your money saving nuclear war plan would sentence millions of people to immediate death and/or medical problems lasting well past 2100.
marriedplus3 · 31-35, M
You certainly know a lot about nuclear weapons. I’m impressed @windinhishair
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@marriedplus3 I READ. Everyone in the US older than 50 has radionuclides in their bodies due to atmospheric nuclear testing done prior to the mid-1970s, when it was banned. The fallout covered the entire nation. Some of the cancers we experience today are likely a result.
marriedplus3 · 31-35, M
I added you as a friend. Because for some reason I don’t hate you despite our differences. Hopefully you feel the same about me@windinhishair
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@marriedplus3 I will reciprocate.
