Sadly, it seems that losing a city to nukes is a near certainty.

 

When it happens, I only hope that we 'think outside the box', and not get dragged into a tit-for-tat. No tomahawks to look like we're doing something. This would be the time to go for the 'schwerpunkt'. Maybe something that was too strong to consider otherwise. Doesn't need to be nuclear, just has to be overwhelming success.

 

And one nuke means the likelihood of more, if something strong is not done to discourage it.

 

(a) 4 planes and no identifiable state actor:

Afganistan and Iraq invaded. Libya opened up.

Iran is next. Syria and Lebanon are poor step children living off the Iranian mullocracy, and fall as dominos.

Wahabis not yet reined in.

Working to re-shape region and wait 50-100 years for moderation and tolerance.

 

(b) 1 nuke and no identifiable state actor = escalation to one step short of inihilation

Identify the real enemy: islam. Put boots on ground in Mecca, Medina, Tehran, Qom, Kabul, Karachi, etc. Utterly destroy all holy sites of islam, worldwide, shia, sunni, wahabbi, and other off-shoots. Build Cathedrals and Temples. MAKE THEM TOLERATE IT. No waiting 50-100 years for the culture to moderate. Done wrong, this hardens them to strike another city. Done right, it destroys their cultural roots and crushes their will to continue. Think erasure of Nazi infrastructure, personnel, and the entire culture and philosophy in post-ww2 germany. Brutally refuse to accept their intolerance.

 

(c) 2nd nuke: Time to change the equation. Anihilation. Get them before they get us. Nuke all holy sites of islam and 20-40 major population centers. 100 million down. Not a victory, but survival. And a clear warning to others.

 

Brutal response is shocking, but more merciful than restraint, when that restraint leads to the loss of a second city. So be firm and brutal...to try and avoid the inevitable 'Dr Strangelove' anihilation response if a 2nd city was nuked.

 

I guess it's extreme, but I've studied the koran and hadiths, the history of islam, and of the region; over 20 yeras I've visited many different islamic countries and talked to scholars and the average man on the street; and I find that islam is extreme. Extremely extreme. It offers me a choice between assimilation into the barbaric hordes, or death and destruction. Sadly, I think it is innevitable that islam will set off a nuke in a us city. It's time to stop the madness and reclaim the future.

 

Other options after losing a city:

(1) Keep 'waiting' for islam to moderate. Diplomacy, UN, containment, will just get you more nukes.

(2) Finde a scapegoat and take some nominal action. Assassination, or invde soe minor country. Does nothing to discourage original party from more nukes.

(3) Pay bad guys to leave you alone. Buys you 10 years, and then 'bend-over'.

(4) Bend over now. Buy prayer rugs. Locate mecca. Accept dhimmitude and slavery.
