Military Genius Liz Warren introduces bill to ban U.S. from nuclear first strike
Poast new message in this thread
Date: February 4th, 2019 10:24 AM Author: infuriating vivacious university volcanic crater She is nothing short of a Massachusetts MacAruthur:
"BOSTON — U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren wants to make sure the United States never uses nuclear weapons first.
The Massachusetts Democrat has introduced a bill with Democratic U.S. Rep. Adam Smith of Washington that would make it the official policy of the United States not to use nuclear weapons first.
The lawmakers say the United States currently retains the option to be the first to use nuclear weapons in a conflict, even in response to a non-nuclear attack.
They said banning the use of nuclear weapons for first-strike purposes would “reduce the chances of a nuclear miscalculation.”

The Russian system is designed to operate only if the US shoots down the communication satellites and relay aircraft. The system fires an ICBM that has no warhead in it. Instead it has a radio transmitter that relays to all remaining forces that all relay aircraft and satellites are gone and that means Moscow is gone and its time to vaporize NATO. It only works if all other comms are gone. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4194074&forum_id=2#37722127) |

Date: February 4th, 2019 10:35 AM Author: Shimmering Submissive Personal Credit Line Locus For the entire Cold War it was Russian policy with white papers and all to never engage in a nuclear first srike. It was only in 1997 that Russia renounced no nuclear first strike. The party that enjoys conventional force superiority should enact a no nuclear first strike policy to balance the MAD equation. As the US enjoys conventional superiority it should reassure an inferior Russia that any attack will not be nuclear from the onset. This will lower the threshold of use on the Russian side. Failing to do so gives you what we have now -- a Russia that believes even the smallest conventional tactical attack is a NATO first strike and all nukes must be used or lost. Everything right now is on a much tighter trigger than at anytime since 1982. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4194074&forum_id=2#37721957) |

this seems like some 103 IQ reddit tier "game theory" dude |

Date: February 4th, 2019 11:09 AM Author: Shimmering Submissive Personal Credit Line Locus To raise the threshold of use on the other side and to actually potentially free up your conventional forces so the other side doesnt automatically think a small conventional attack is WW3.

Date: February 4th, 2019 11:19 AM Author: slap-happy affirmative action not seeing the logic here, honestly. if you're attacking someone with a small number of conventional forces, they will either respond in kind with conventional forces, or nuke you in retaliation if they're desperate. in neither scenario does renouncing your nuclear first strike capability make any difference

Date: February 4th, 2019 11:20 AM Author: seedy razzle people who are hurt rehab i think a lot of people misunderstand what our nukes are aimed at.
they are aimed at military targets and there are not enough of them to destroy all military installations of our enemies. we are not wasting nukes by aiming for skyscrapers in tier 2 cities.
and personally i don't think any power in today's world would ever consider just unloading all of its nukes as a dead hand final act.
first, our military will survive. In all kinds of various outposts around the world and probably in various mainland bases or reserve facilities that are missed. NATO in europe, well, not so much.
second, we'd need to keep more nukes in our back pocket so others not party to the exchange don't take advantage. |

|
Date: February 5th, 2019 12:34 AM Author: ungodly school The use of tactical nukes will increase the chance of all out nuclear war.
Simple enough for you to understand douche? |
|
Date: February 5th, 2019 12:43 AM Author: umber racy rigor coldplay fan Sure, that's simple enough. The problem is your observation is so vague it is worthless.
To what extent does the use of tactical nukes increase the likelihood of a massive nuclear exchange? Are all uses of tactical nukes equal when it comes to such risks?
|
|
Date: February 5th, 2019 1:06 AM Author: ungodly school A major city being nuked is so terrifying, the mere increase in chance should rule out taking the risk, the probability doesn't need to be quantified.
In any case a tactical nuke would be used in the middle of a war and would be followed by at tactical nuke retaliation. Panic, destruction, minute by minute thinking, fog, what's the point of quantifying the probability of an out of control reaction? It's high. |
|
Date: February 5th, 2019 1:19 AM Author: umber racy rigor coldplay fan Approaching this question with such BS platitudes is a BS cop-out. As the poster below noted, if we face an existential threat and the only way out is the use of tactical nukes, we will use them. There is no question about it. Given this reality, the government can ensure it continues to reassess this question in a pragmatic and honest manner, or it can ignore the issue by passing silly laws and being completely unprepared for this eventuality should the situation arise, which will only compound the problem.
