Aircraft carriers are for projecting power far from your home town. If one is largely concerned with ones periphery, then carriers are luxury.

The Syrian base is a glaring exception to the Russian matrix.

North Korea is pleading to be nuked.

Isn't it odd how the United States harangues and pokes at nations that don't play ball with american industry until those nations develop nukes as deterrents... like the nukes we have, and then we claim they are itching for a fight as an excuse to nuke them.

We call them "unstable" as if we don't have the most unstable government of them all, and we're the one country just fucked up and crazy enough to actually use nukes.

It's how the United States maintains it's title as the largest weapons supplier in the world, by keeping the world at war.

Between incredibly massive collateral damage, and the effect on the attitudes and policy of everyone else in the world, I trust you can't be serious. We've somehow managed not to cross this threshold for 70 years now; how about we go for a hundred?

OR NEVER!

Never is so absolute a goal as to be daunting. With Trump, we may need to settle for 'well, let's not nuke anyone today...'

I know too many people who think a nuke is a abstract concept. One they don't think ever will happen but yet they talk like it is an option.....

Stupid!!!!!!

I am serious. Every day the guy threatens to dump one on us. We see him preparing. It is not like he is hiding his intentions. He is boldly stating that he going to fuck us up. The US leadership has a responsibility to its citizens to dismantle this guy's budding capability...with perhaps lean mean tactical nuclear weapons.

Their existence makes using one an option.

If he 'dumped one on us' then what would happen? Think we'd surrender, or what?

They doesn't get anything they want by attacking us, or anyone. They get lots and lots by talking scary, and making themselves into as big a threat as possible. That image is currency, in various negotiations.

The more you take these bozos seriously, the more they get to play you.
