Nuclear 8/11

Actually I tend to see scenarios like this less in terms of terrorists somehow getting a big nuke but in terms of North Korea finally snapping.

Man, that's brilliant! After years of everyone in Seoul, Tokyo and Washington having collective nightmares of a big-haired lunatic in platform shoes Kim goes and attacks China? I have to say it fits his MO perfectly - completely insane, absolutely unexpected and explcable only from an absolute conviction of superiority.

I actually think that the net outcome would be an increase in world happiness, though. Chinese occupation in NK means they finally get enough to eat and are free-er, the world can stop worrying about Kim's nuke and missile show, and people had catharsis and closure. Unless you were unlucky enough to be cast as a player in the catharsis bit, obviously.
 
China nukes america
simply put there is no freaking way a bunch of fundys are going
to successfully steal a nuke and sneak it successfully out of the
country and hit a major power with out some level of aproval.

In this case China is fully justified in using nukes aganst our country.

Cherico

I think you're wrong on both accounts.

a) They don't have the right to nuke the US because fanatics from that country have launched an attack, unless they have evidence that the US government assisted in that.

b) More to the point there is the difference in nuclear power between the two nations. Some Chinese official might hit out wildly if they identify Americans as the source of the attack but anyone with any sense will be seeking to stop him. China can hurt the US if its limited number of long range missiles work as expected but the US retaliation would be overwhelming. For that reason its quite possible that even if the Chinese government thought that some US officials were involved they would seek to blame someone else. [Possibly getting revenge via other means]. A head to head with the US in nukes is just too suicidal.

It's also missing the point as to why American Christian "Fundies" would want to nuke China? I mean seriously, that makes no sense whatsoever...

Then start your own thread. There is absolutely no reason to clutter up the page with conversations that died three years ago.

You bumped a three-year-old thread for no reason and added absolutely no content whatsoever, which you have something of a history of doing. In fact, I wonder if you have interest in adding anything to this site at all or just in begging for treats like a dog.
 
Wow, I had totally forgot about this thread :p

If the fact that it hasn't been updated in three years hasn't clued you in, I wasn't really planning on continuing this. Heck, I don't think I even had 100 posts yet when I made this one.

In response to a question in the Nuclear 9/11 thread.

On 8-11-2001, in China, a group of Christian Radicals/extremists/whatever from the Southern United States smuggle in 4 black market suitcase nukes on cargo vessels sitting in harbour and detonate 3 of them in the port cities of Shanghi, Guangzho, and Quindao. The fourth had been smuggeld overland and detonated in Bejing.

Now what happens

Maybe the oxygen is a little thin where I live but I am wondering how one can link these words...Christian-Radicals-Extremists. Now I know that there are a lot of whack jobs out there but to link the words "radical" and "Christian" seems to imply someone who really intensely follows the teachings of Jesus Christ. Anyone with half a brain and who can read a Bible should be able to see that nuking three Chinese cities is definitely not condoned in Christian teaching. If these "fundies" can't figure that much out, they probably don't have the marbles to be able to smuggle nukes into China.

There's crazies in every religion.

It's amazing what you can squeeze out of holy books if you really want to, and unfportunately the ability of self-deception is unrelated to practical intelligence. Have you ever read Hassidic philosophy? And they have a faction that believes Israel should exterminate all Palestinians. If that works, so does a Christian radical nuclear terrorist. Better, actually, because if you look at Christian theology from the right angle, it really doesn't matter much what you physically do to people.

Immanentising the eschaton is a bad idea that seems to have been around for a long time.

You're expecting extremists to use logic and reason? :p But seriously, the Bible has been twisted and perverted by many groups to justify actions that are most certaintly not condoned by the bible. A group that wants to do something like this will find some way to justify it with a quote from the bible no matter how out of context it is.

lol! it's all kool and crap, i just thought i would say hello and all. did not mean to piss people off.:cool:

Eh, didn't mean to be rude but I just got back from 10 hours at work, with 1 1/2 hours waiting for the base I'm working at to come down from FPCON Delta so I could leave. (it was an exercise, not an actual threat, but we were still on lockdown) so I was a bit irratable.

But on the other hand, please quit necromancing old threads, you should have sent me a PM first.
