MSNBC had a ribbon moments ago saying Trump says he'll nuke ISIS.
No confirmation anywhere, yet.
Also on that network the scoop is the GOP establishment is lining up behind Cruz, only a little behind Trump in craziness and the most hated man in the senate, but on money issues not just a conservative but a certifiable tea-bagger.
Update, OK, the ribbon was grossly misleading.
Donald Trump Won't Rule Out Using Nukes Against ISIS
In an interview with Mark Halperin and John Heilemann of Bloomberg, the Republican presidential frontrunner refused to rule out using tactical nuclear weapons in the war against ISIS.
“I’m never going to rule anything out—I wouldn’t want to say. Even if I wasn’t, I wouldn’t want to tell you that because at a minimum, I want them to think maybe we would use them,” he said.
No, not at all the same thing.
Weird enough and still a horror, but not the same thing.
It would be impossible to use nukes, even so-called tactical nukes, given they have more explosive power than the bombs that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki, in a purely counter-force way against ISIS, anywhere in the world.
So this is just a ludicrous threat to annihilate not only ISIS Jihaders but all human beings, including entire civilian populations, in areas controlled by ISIS.
For instance, that entire swath of Syria and Iraq in which these Muslim madmen have set up their Islamic State.
And that would be a wholly senseless war crime far beyond anything seen since The Second World War.
A suggestion entirely typical of the mind of the man with the greatest and most profound support for the nomination of the Republican Party for the office of US President.
