not really... they have gotten tons of different kinds of weapons already. And in the middle east, where security isnt as strong guarding facilities, it is possible if there is a nuke they might possibly be able to aqquire one in time if they are allowed to gain strength like they are doing.

I'm definitely not the right guy to answer this but I believe I've read somewhere that it's not the nuke that is the issue North America needs to worry about, its will they obtain the ability to launch a long range missile. I think that we know they might could make a nuke but they can launch it from their ME safe spots all the way here the way I remember it.

Nukes are the nightmare scenario --- but we're gradually reaching the point where technology will make conventional & terror warfare laughably convenient.

Who needs Toyota pickups, and military rifles --- when in 5-20 years, trouble-makers might be able to fly hundreds of laser-beam drones from their laptop computer? Just like playing a video game.

Or crash the power-grid, water system, or banking system.

Even worse, eventually the technology will become self-aware. Then we'll need John Connor to fight the machines.

Going to assume it would be insanely difficult to smuggle a nuclear device into America. We'd probably know before the device even traveled 500 yards in Iran, Pakistan, North Korea, etc.

But who knows, maybe I'm being a bit naive with regards to USA intelligence/surveillance, and maybe I've seen too many James Bond movies. I mean, ISIS was supposed to be the JV team, and look how that turned out. Maybe I shouldn't have 100% blind-faith in USA/Western intelligence & foresight.

Anyway, as you said --- the real threat with nuke is long-range launch. There are a few ME nations with long-range capability, but I think Europe is their max range? Also, as of now, I don't think ISIS has even sniffed any of the long-range facilities. If there really was a danger, I'd imagine USA would finally take off the gloves. Letting ISIS capture some shithole village is one thing, but I doubt we'd let ISIS capture a big-time military facility.

Always the threat of a rogue nation (Pakistan, North Korea, Iran) --- or a nation falling into chaos & revolution, and then the bad guys capture weapons & bases.

I just wish it would become mainstream that if you see a Muslim, whites are allowed to torture and kill any Muslim on American soil. I hate Muslims. Nothing but dirty and ugly pieces of shit. Shave your beard and give me that dirty towell on your head to beat you with it. Ugly fucks.

If they agree to only launch terror strikes that are already planned, and not come up with any new ones, then they can have 2 nukes in 10 years......That's how Obama and Kerry would negotiate.


Of course NBC News would say that it was a good deal.

Think the technology to make a nuke, a rudimentary 1970's should be out there in the black market, along with crooked scientist looking for the highest bid... Turkey doesnt have nukes? Cause if they do, pretty sure they would sell one to IS.

The issue is the long distance missile like FunkMonkey said, they need to build a silo for that, and US and Russia would know immediately they are building something along those lines...

Imminent that they get any & every kind of weapon eventually.

Again...The only way to secure worldwide safety for every other county is to go wipe them off the map completely.

Coordinate with Russia, France, and anyone else who wants a piece of their land to split amongst us and go get it by cleaning house with bombs first & then go get the rest done by invading.

It's come down to kill first or be killed.

No more time for being Mr nice guy.

Other animals have become extinct.

They're animals too so we won't miss them a bit...

I have to agree. Wipe them off completely.

As crude and barbaric as this sounds this could be the only solution when all is said and done

Difference is these people seem to really enjoy killing. They cherish the bloodbath. I dont think thats the same feeling as us Westerns. We can kill, and we will, with deep regret.

If they got a nuke they'd aim it directly at Israel. They wouldn't think twice about it.

If you don't realize that they already have nuke capabilities you're crazy. I think they had that before they officially became ISIS or ISIL whatever. They just need to make ti count when they let it rip.
And for the 44th time here, you guys watching nothing but FoxNews need to get your head out of your ass because they own your mind and soul. WAIT WAIT let me finish the nezxt line for you... don't watch MSNBC either becasue they are crazy left now, they were not too bad prior to giving Sharpton his own show, that is when I swore them off. Life in the USA under Bush and Obama are the pretty much the same, you people only make it seem different in debate forums.
