US warns of nuclear response
The White House says no options have been ruled out
Washington has said it is prepared to use nuclear weapons if necessary to respond to any attack with weapons of mass destruction (WMD) against itself or its allies.
"The United States will continue to make clear that it reserves the right to respond with overwhelming force - including through resort to all our options," a White House strategy document released on Tuesday said.
nuclear response
When are we going to get past the idea of using retalitory nuclear weapons. How can we expect other countries to control their use of such weapons with such a gun-ho approach?
The United States will continue to make clear that it reserves the right to take the world to the brink of destruction (and push it over) if it sees fit. I'm sure Britain will back them up as well, which makes me even sicker.
Time and time again we witness escalations of conflicts from war-like reactions rather than peace-like intiatives. Now we are talking about gaining the advantage in conflict by propagating more refined, target specific nuclear weapons. Are we moving into an age where the use of nuclear weapons will become the norm? A scenario the world has fought against since hiroshima. Will the disarmament of the global killer nukes be replaced with the armament of millions of smaller target-specific ones?
I maybe over-reacting or ranting but, although I am used to not trusting my country's or her allies' government, I am not used to being scared of them. And this scares me.
