I find this kind of ironic as when I was in 1st or  2nd grade, I was already thinking of moving to Hawaii (remember duck and cover?) because 'No one in their right mind would bomb Hawaii, it's the only gas station between East and West (so to speak). 
Logical thinking at that young of an age I must say. 
Unfortunately, that theory no longer holds true as there are those out there who would blow themselves up with a nuke at their family reunion in their hometown in the name of . . not gonna go there.

There are also those national leaders who would nuke Hawaii as a show of strength, so that the destruction is more isolated from the US mainland.  Less chance of a retaliatory strike if the mainland is not facing a "last resort" scenario.

I've said this before.
When they had the bogus
NUKE attack scare,
All I did was give my wife a kiss, said I loved her,
cracked open a beer and waited for nothing.
Blowing Honolulu away wold be a God send
to the rest of Hawaii.

These people aren't stupid.
All they have to do is be patient.
Democrats are destroying America.
All they have to do do is sit back and watch.

What they need to worry about
is the people left over after Democrats
are defeated.

just been exposed to high yield radiation?

Yet another example of why I refuse to engage with this character.   The ignorance is astounding.

Lolz at the ignorance. Too much Missile Command.

The fact you even posted this clearly shows immature personal attacks is really what you enjoy.

Did someone forget to feed you dinner when you were playing Atari tonight?  Ran out of chicken sandwiches at Popeyes?

So you got pissed off constantly loosing at Missile Command that you had to join in others' immature personal attacks.

What a sad pathetic looser life you have...

good thing you are so highly educated and reserved that you don't do immature personal attacks

because then you would be a sad pathetic looser
but you are better than that, as you have always stated, and are not racist either
we are glad to have such a learned and worldly person to learn us racist mortals on this forum

If you're going to insult someone's maturity and call them pathetic, maybe you ought to at least spell the words correctly.  Makes you look ignorant ... more so than your "expert" military lectures do.

They attack me, I return the favor, and you attack some more?

Got it!

Whatever...

I admit I yielded to the Missile Command imperialists. It was a pretty hard game. The trackball would get slippery from the sweat. The ICBMs would just pop out of nowhere and obliterate my bases. It was a tough game that yielded low scores.

I did not quote you or your screen name. I did make an inference to Missile Command - a popular video game from the 1980s.

One of the few games I actually played well, too.  Never liked PACMAN, Frogger, or most of the other machines that were sitting in strategic locations waiting to steal my money (when I had some!).

There was a Qix game in my dorm basement that took some of my laundry change, though ...  Gotta do something while the clothes get clean other than studying!   

If so, then what are the greatest weapons of mass destruction good for?

You already stated the answer yourself, it is a deterrent from other people using nukes.

Once again, there is no evidence that China has any intentions for a war of conquest of North America, unless the US thinks the South China Sea is part of the American empire.

Because we have a strong standing army.

No, I meant if Canada or Mexico ever had the sufficient strength to militarily invade the US and the US felt they could not stop the invasion, the invading forces would get nuked as soon as they got near the border.

No they wouldn't. The fallout, both nuclear and political, would be so great.

You already stated the answer yourself, it is a deterrent from other people using nukes.

Yes, it is.  But if your country is facing a 20th century type land invasion from the only nation capable and willing to conduct an illegal invasion, the American empire, good luck thinking your invasion army and navy will not get nuked.

Because we have a strong standing army.

Not true.

I remind you again, it has been the American empire and its military that has directly or covertly participated in illegal invasion/overthrows from Hawaii in 1893 to the present.  China has not done anything similar during that time frame.  Anything else is pure imperial chicken hawk speculation.

No they wouldn't. The fallout, both nuclear and political, would be so great.

I disagree with you there.

As seen with the Vietnamese, who were willing to risk every man, woman, and child to fighting the Americans, so no different for America, if it thought Canada or Mexico somehow could be successful of taking over the country.

We are perfecting variable yield nukes to allow tactical usage.
I have always said most people are fighting the last war and not the next.
Looks like I'm not the only one that has figured that out.
Nobody would be stupid enough to invade America.
Democrats are doing a good enough job.
Our citizens are better armed than most the world's Army's all combined.
Our real power is the Navy and most people don't have a clue what it can do.
It is a big damn Ocean I look at every day.
Aloha.

played Ikari Warriors online...the nostalgia
anyone remember Microworlds across the street from HCC?

Yup.

You too huh.

Well, takes one to know one.

I guess their Navy expansion is just for humanitarian efforts?
Again, I am not saying China is out there planning on invading us but the fact we have a strong standing army certainly give them reason not to.

As seen with the Vietnamese, who were willing to risk every man, woman, and child to fighting the Americans, so no different for America, if it thought Canada or Mexico somehow could be successful of taking over the country.

So you really think America would nuke the entire southern or northern border?

An ocean based invasion would be a very poor choice. A better option would be to come in through Canada or Mexico. Luckily we have pretty good relations with our neighbors.

The smartest way is probably what Russia did. Foster division in out country and let us burn down from within.
