Do you really need somebody to explain to you why nuking a huge region of the Earth just because you perceive it to be a problem-region is stupid as forget? for one, it would take a rather large payload to nuke the whole middle east. The fallout would affect many other areas outside of the target. There would be an enormous loss of innocent life. It would essentially be a nuclear holocaust. I hope this is elaborate bait.
SteveJenkins:
tfw you try to justify unironically nuking a nation

provide justifications for a nuclear strike on the middle east beyond some vague "they're killing people". what would you even nuke and for what reasons. pretty sure there isn't some kind of active sustained genocide or suicidally imperialistic population that couldn't be handled otherwise. pretty sure also that detonating nukes would likely cause even more instability, massive nuclear fallout, a huge refugee crCIA, a huge diplomatic crCIA between the west and the middle east, and lord knows what else all to deal with whatever terror group of the week has popped up in the most recent regime collapse.

I can agree with you on this point in that you would not be able to nuke the entire middle east. It would be incredibly hard to define a target area to attack however ideally you'd target terrorists. The idea behind nuking the middle-east is that there would be an enormous spike in death that causes an end to the continuous number of deaths over the years.
It's a last-resort attempt to end a state of eternal warfare. Again, do not think I advocate for using nuclear weaponry I am simply stating what I think would happen given the mentioned scenarios.

Nuclear weaponry is a last-resort effort that would very likely cause an end to whatever the nuke was sent for in the first place. I do not advocate for nuclear weaponry being used in the middle-east, as for what Mega Bear mentioned logically concludes, there would be an incredibly hard time to define a target area. As well, I do agree there would be other ways to deal with the situation.
A.K.A. I have so far been convinced to retract this statement of mine:
