so now we should Nuke who exactly?
Ya see, here's how history really happened. This must be the part you missed in w/e the fuck school you went to.
Sometime after the mid 50's a bunch of morons got together and decided you could have "nice" wars. They were wrong ofc, and the crap we deal with these days, just proves it.
Why did we fight "on the ground" in Vietnam? A: It was to prove that the US could fight a "nice" war. Any general worth even one star could tell you.... that won't work.
Only moron generals say... oh shyt the enemy doesn't have high tech armament...so we shouldn't use our high tech armament.
That's the definition of stupid.
WHY did Japan surrender?
A: Cause we made it quite clear, that if they didn't we would destroy them. Utterly. No amount of UN, LoN, crap would have achieved that. No amount of "nice" war would have achieved that.
THIS is the reality. Whether you choose to SEE that is not my problem... it's yours.
There is no such thing as a "nice" war. It's an oxymoron.
Even in a thousand years, when we can, say, pu7ll, off absolutely pin point exact strikes...there won't be any such thing as a nice war. Civilians WILL die. No one likes that, but that is the reality.
To win a war you have to remove the enemies will to fight... simple as that. How you achieve that is different in almost every case.
W/o even too much effort... you want to win a war in say Afghanistan...take out Kabul. I don't mean blow up a few runways or bldgs. I mean utterly destroy it. Probably irradiate a few waterways as well. War over.
Time to grow up and smell the history.
