As always, Albert Einstein seems to be a few steps ahead of everyone else in the world.
The Russell-Einstein Manifesto, published in 1955, describes a possible nuclear attack on New York City.

How should we react to such an attack?
The Russell-Einstein Manifesto gives 2 options for responding to such an attack — “Shall we put an end to the human race; or shall mankind renounce war?”

It’s a dilemma.

Fortunately, Frank has given us a way out by discovering a third option: nuke the moon.

Would Obama nuke Pyongyang if the Norks nuked Seoul?

No, but Seoul would.

Would he nuke Iran if LA were in ruins at Iranian hands?

No, but he’d go to the UN for a strongly worded resolution and issue a strongly-worded apology for the US supporting the Shah.

Would the public demand his impeachment?

We’d never know because it would be ignored at the WH press briefings, and the MSM would ignore the public demands.

Would the Congress declare war and force his hand?

THIS Congress? ROTFLMAO.

I was thinking that sounded similar to the plot in Sum of All Fears. The book, not the weird movie that was reinterpreted by Hollywood to be something other than the book.

Desert Elephant,
Amen! You and me both, brother!

About .025 second after I submitted that last comment (#24) I thought it might sound a bit too goody-goody, like I’d thought I was the only one praying.
If I offended, ‘Oops! Sorry!’
What I meant was that it’s an encouraging sign –
a spontaneous, unplanned plea for God’s intervention at one’s sudden realization of the enormity of a problem beyond one’s strength is an indication of clarity of vision –
We Always need God, but when things are going good we tend to overlook it!

“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”

II Chronicles 7:14

It’s better to cry, “God help us!” than, “Game over, man! Game over!”

Nunya,

Even though I hate Dhimmicrats with a passion, I was pragmatic enough to know Hillary would have at least interjected a modicum more sanity to the POTUS position that hObama.

4 of 7,

Let’s just say that despite my many flaws and innumerable sins, I’ve been taking numerous showers in the Blood of the Lamb of late and fervently entreating The Almighty for the return of Sanity.

It’s hard to believe (and majorly depressing) that not too long ago, the Scariest Scenario Ever was “President Hillary.” My how we’ve fallen indeed.

Obama has a safe bunker. He would not want to murder 200 to 1000 million more people by retaliating (depending on who attacks us). He would see it as compassionate to not retaliate. After all, war isn’t the answer. He could negotiate a new peace from his bunker. After all, America has brought a nuclear attck on itself.

I, uh, don’t think that’s much of a good idea for a novel. Republican majority after next election season, followed by a very brutal, very quick war. What was left of N. Korea would be re-integrated with S. Korea, missile shield development would become national priority number one.

I guess it would be interesting to speculate on how it would effect American foreign policy though. Would preemptive warfare become the norm?

Why do libs hate war anyway? Seems it’s been pretty danged effective: end slavery, stop Hitler, etc.

I’m seeing a lot more “God help us!” comments lately.
I’m glad I’m not the only one praying.

I was disappointed we didn’t respond with nukes after 9-11.
Isn’t that why we supposedly have them… as a deterrent ?
That was the day they called our bluff and it’s been all downhill since then.

The Norks really don’t have anything to lose and that’s what makes them scary.

I say starve ‘em out.

The Japanese Navy can handle whatever Kim decides to throw around.

F*ck ‘em all. War sucks.

I think we already know the best way to handle all of this: Nuke the moon.

First, I just wanna say, that lately, I feel like DE is reading my thoughts and is way out in front of what I write.

And ussjimmycarter: “…double spaced for emphasis this time.” LOL.

He’ll respond! Don’t worry! Hans Brix will scurry to the UN for the drafting of a Really Really Really harsh memo which will be double spaced for emphasis this time. N Korea and Iran will also be placed on Double Secret Probation by the UN and Barry!!! That will take care of the crisis! Now on to a VAT Tax!!!

“Liberal president refuses to respond to threat, military forces him out of office, sends him and friends to Alaska timber industry, begins restoration of Constitutional governing. Hooray!”

I think Alaska would be too nice… I say we ship him and Nancy Pelosi and friends to Soviet Canada!

If someone nukes us, one of our intrest, or allies you can bet O will respond. He’ll respond by bowing, shaking there hand, give them rainbow colored unicorn farts, hugs, kisses, DVD’s, I-pods, a signed copy of his book, a great big thank you, and then aplogize for us being in the way of their nuke.

If something is “unthinkable,” how are you thinking about it? “Thinkable” is a funny word, though…

To be honest, at this point, I’m REALLY, REALLY praying for a military coup to happen soon. To prevent “The Goldberg Scenario”.
