i mean, i understand that viewpoint. i dont think any less of people for their religious beliefs, but on some level you've got you realize that there's no way to actually know if any of it is true. you wanna hold yourself to an ancient moral code? sure, do it, maybe it's even a good one. but don't talk to me about how great your afterlife is gonna be just because you subscribe to the right self-perpetuating idea.

exactly.
they sure do wish it were true, but that doesn't make it so.

also all this talk about retaliatory nuking, you do it to ensure that a nuke-toting country that was insane enough to nuke you can't nuke anybody else
that's the whole concept of mutually-assured destruction, it's not about being a richard

correct

the whole goal is to completely destroy or immobilize all nuclear infrastructure and production and paralyze the country to prevent any more proliferation of nuclear materials

if a rogue state really was hellbent on wreaking havoc, they could use the time taken during a conventional invasion to launch more nuclear warheads or scatter partially refined uranium off to the ends of the earth for use in dirty bombs by terror agents for years to come

nuke where the nukes are stored

and boom you got no nukes

[Kearn]

generally speaking a lot of nuclear missiles are stored in reinforced underground structures specifically to protect them from a first strike or are located on subs. primarily what you want to do is destroy the nuclear facilities and command structure to keep anything else from happening

nuke our solar system

[Insert Name Here²]

nuke time itself

[Verification]

nuke our solar system

there's not nearly enough uranium or any other combustible matierial for that matter to nuke the solar system
better wait that 4 billion years for the sun to explode

late reply

And have we trended towards doing that? We still kill stuffloads of civilians, and our government is filled with people who are probably less-concerned than ever with civilian causalities.

demonizing the people in charge is not going to change the fact that killing civilians is never the intention of the US

Ending US-intervention does not mean 'doing nothing'. The best hope for a better Iraq/Syria is to aid the people living in that region, on the ground, who are fighting the lion's share of the Civil War. The Republic of Iraq and the Peshmerga are the ones who are going to push out ISIL, not our drone strikes. We can still supply them with training, military equipment, and intelligence.

SEE I TRIED SUGGESTING SUPPLYING THE TROOPS BUT I GOT CALLED A NEOCON

...do you mean die out?

...do you mean die out?

the sun will go into a state called "nova" in which it will shed it's outer layers which can go really fast and are also really hot

they leave solar nebulas which are considerably smaller than supernova nebulas which look like this:

...except the sun eventually becomes a red giant and explodes into a supernova, not a "nova." i get what you're saying but i don't really think the sun is going to do that. i meant to say in my last post if you mean it becomes a giant and does that state.

... the core of the Sun will experience a marked increase in density and temperature while its outer layers expand to eventually become a red giant.
