If necessary, and only after ourselves being attacked on the homeland, I would begin with all of Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. Again, this would be in response to the U.S. pulling out of these regions entirely, telling them that if this is what they want we are now complying. The ensuing genocide among their own people will be on them. Let'em fight it out. And we give them fair warning, any terrorist attack on the United States, however large or small, will result in their immediate extermination.What region do you propose we nuke? Burn which place to the ground, like map it out so we can get an understanding of the size. Unfortunately I think it's too late in the game for that.

And you don't think that borderline homegrown (and other) radicals flirting with End Times would be inclined to go full retard in response? You know how some people self-sabotage by bringing about the very thing they are supposedly trying to avoid? Well, that would be you.If necessary, and only after ourselves being attacked on the homeland, I would begin with all of Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan.

Of course this will never happen because there's too much political hay and money to be made from pretending it's a big deal, but our government not really giving a shit about them or us.
Yep, there will be lots of bodies laying around when it's over, or we can be nibbled to death piece by piece. Time to get it done. Not to worry though. Global warming will kill us all long before this ever happens, least if Comrade Sanders is to be believed.And you don't think that borderline homegrown (and other) radicals flirting with End Times would be inclined to go full retard in response?

Awww, now you've gone and offended me. To which authorities shall I report you? Hopefully you'll meet one of your terrorist friends up close and personal, and I hope it's really sooner than later. Just as the blade enters your throat you can tell them that you sympathize with their cause. See how that works out for you. Bye now.
If you equate WW2 Japan to the present threat emanating from the Middle East, then you should start by nuking yourself first. Do it for national security. We'll thank you later.
