If you kill the enemy, you won't be able to keep the fascist military society up. You won't stay in power.

Similar to why the US doesn't just vaporize all of its enemies in the ME.

Or maybe because you can't just vaporize an entire civilian populace just to eradicate a minority insurgent population. Think before you post mouth breather.

That's how Heinlein wrote. Have you ever read Stranger in a Strange Land?

Holy shit that was one hard novel to get through. One character was such a Mary Sue (Jubal Harshaw), where literally everything he said was considered to be like some form of gospel that couldn't be reputed.

Was no surprise, Heinlein had the exact same philosophy.

Fuck that novel.

No, not at all. We wouldn't be able to survive that considering there are other nuclear powers in the region and allies of nuclear powers in the region. Look up mutually assured destruction and stop being 12.

>Oh, yeah, Russia would end the world over Iran? Or NKorea?
these questions were posed in the 40s and 50s. It's currently understood that a nuclear power would need to respond to nuclear provocation (even salami tactics) because the opposite would mean submission, loss of influence and deterrence.

Most of the world would react pretty horribly if you just started dropping nukes on Afghanistan, even if they have no diplomatic relations with anyone involved. Not to mention nukes have lasting effects like fallout and whatnot. You made a dumb analogy. Quit being 12 anon.

>>83868517
>The questions were posed but not answered
they won't be answered until your horizon consists of ash and more ash

the point of deterrence is to never actually answer them. Watch Fail Safe

>>83868093
According to the book, (based on the movie) the bugs live deep in the ground so nukes will just make the surface unhabitable and won't harm the bugs.

According to the comics, the bugs also live deep underground and the federation want the resources so they won't make it into a "nuclear wasteland" (I think it was in the "dominant species" comic).

What the fuck are you doing, man? In the book it explicitly describes the drop trooper going down to the surface and fucking napalming the otherwise non-hostile bug settlements.

We talked about watching Predator 1 yesterday since the whole 30th anniversary thing but I ended up sleeping early so he watched old cowboy movies that he loves with my mother. Today we both have nothing better to do so might as well watch them instead of going through the worst part of Twin Peaks S02
