ISIS is a clear and present danger to humanity, with their base of Terror in Syria. Has the time come to nuke ISIS in Syria? Personally I think we should. ISIS occupies a huge part of Syria including the suburbs of Syria. If we nuke the areas that ISIS is in, the bonus is that we also get the Iranians and Assad.
ISIS isn't "a clear and present danger to humanity" any more than the violent factions that deal in illegal substances and services.
That is awesome !!! You sir a a genius. You invented "suburbs" of the country of Syria. That's profound indeed. Prior to this revelation it was only cities that had suburbs.
You can, we can, and we would if ISIS was in one defined area. If we use nukes on ISISS and they are too close too good people the radiation will harm them. it's not as simple as you may think.
Definitely! The best way to stop ISIS's attacks on civilians is to kill all the civilians in the general area and rick nuclear war with Russia, China, India, and any other country in the region that has nukes. The deaths of millions of innocents would sure so ISIS that we are the good guys! 'MURICA! 'MURICA! 'MURICA! 'MURICA! 'MURICA!
Nuke ISIS? How you can imagine it? You think we just NUKE some bombs and war is over? I think it's ridiculous.
At some point we may have to kill as many Muslims as possible. Harsh measures for harsh times. It's a last resort though.
Nah we don't need to Nuke them.....we just need to deal with this from the underground on up. Get into their heads psychologically and take away their belief that they will be in paradise and get to see their God. Anyone caught being a member or supporter can be forced to......not run around and let people know who they are. As being hunted will do that.
You cannot defeat an ideology with a WMD. What it would likely do is distance us from our allies and make us new enemies. It would also be a battle cry for Islamic extremists the world over and a boon to recruitment.
We should only nuke ISIS regions far away from Israel. - - - Updated - - - Well, let the Iranians bring it on. Its about time they tasted our liberation programme.
Yes you can. By wiping em out, you starve the ideology of supporters. For good measure, we finish off Assad and his Iranian mercenaries too.
I urge Israel to make use of their nuclear weapons against terrorists. this would show the world finally what racist beasts the IDF are.
using nuclear weapons against ISIS would kill tens of thousands of innocent people, if not more. and would be considered a war crime.
That's eerily similar to ISIS's way of thinking. Which, for some reason, isn't surprising considering the other things that get said on this forum.
Do you have any concern for the thousands and thousands of innocent women and children you would be killing? Do they matter?
Collateral damage is a genuine regret. But ISIS and Assad (and his Iranian mercenaries) are a clear and present danger. Hopefully, it will not come to nukes, but we must leave all options upon the table. In the eventuality of our heroic US military taking the difficult decision, we should make every effort to evacuate women and children to safe areas.
