Do they think this is still 1945 and the u.s. is the only country with nukes? Even after we used it, we realized what a fucking colossal mistake that was.
Now, at least a dozen countries, that we know of, have nukes. The first one to set off a nuke will set off a destruction of the world that will destroy almost everything on it, as other countries will fire theirs in retaliation. Do t and newt think we will be the only ones to set one off?
Gods help us all.

3. I guess this got him some attention.

Which was the whole purpose of his post. It’s been many years since this guy was relevant.
