| Topic | Why don't they just nuke ISIS? |
| adjl 05/23/17 3:14:48 PM #9: | Flame_Hazard posted... I suppose what I'm getting at is that anything could happen in 20 years. ISIS could get bigger. ISIS could get their own nukes. They could get something worse than a nuke that doesn't exist (or isn't known to exist) yet. All a big question mark, with the only certainty being that ISIS will continue to try to become this big nightmare. Whether or not they make it is anyone's guess. Given the constant efforts to prevent them from growing, I wouldn't expect that kind of growth to happen. I'm presuming the question here is "current approach vs. nuking," and the current approach means they aren't ever going to be developing that kind of power. If, hypothetically, ISIS did become a legitimate nuclear threat? Then I think nuking them would be on the table, because the stakes would be high enough to justify the collateral damage. I don't see that happening, though. --- This is my signature. It exists to keep people from skipping the last line of my posts. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
