gftChris Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 I was suggesting that we are further from nuclear destruction than we were during the cold war. You replied with the usual knee-jerk anti-liberal rhetoric, suggesting that the statement was somehow naive and did not represent reality. In turn Woody suggested that many of your hot-button topics did not in fact represent reality themselves, and so it was maybe a little hypocritical of you to suggest someone else was being unrealistic.

Westside Steve Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Well when you are done gloating over the dog treat you tossed Woody, you might want to ask yourself how long it took for every civilization to start to use the bow and arrow, or the bronze sword, or the musket, or the Gatling gun, or the B 1 bomber, or the guided missile. Now ask yourself how much safer the world will be when every third world shithole has a nuclear bomb and the means to deliver it. Safer or less safe? Your call.

MLD Woody Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Oh yeah, I'm not allowed to agree with other people on here. I forgot about that. An entire group of posters can be lock step on every issue... ... But I can't agree with anyone else if it means disagreeing with that group. My bad guys.

OldBrownsFan Posted May 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Will mutual assured destruction work with Muslims with a fanatical hatred of Israel? Once Iran gets nuclear weapons they will want to follow through with the threats they have already made about wiping Israel off the map. And who knows what the lunatic in North Korea will do with nuclear weapons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gftChris Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 To be clear, i'm not saying it's impossible there's a nuclear strike somewhere, or some terrorists get hold of a warhead and launch it somewhere white, I'm just saying we're further from that than we were in the cold war. That's my opinion, I'm open to sensible discourse on the subject. For example, while ISIS may have the funds to purchase a warhead, I'm not certain they would have a trading partner as easily as people think. Even within the traditionally-not-so-tolerant muslim states like pakistan, they're seen as savages that will indiscriminately destroy anything not seen to be holy enough, so selling them a nuke could backfire in a huge way.

MLD Woody Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 All of this started from the "we're in the end times!" statement. It seems like the only real argument has become the presence of nuclear weapons in the middle east. To say we're in the "end times" though is still pretty crazy.

It was being portrayed as basically a sped up version of a traditional empire like the romans which spread out and eventually collapsed under its own weight. Granted, this was before the latest gain, and I suspect we're in this for the long haul, but I'll believe a (relatively) independent entity like the economist over IS' own propaganda machine.
