China treating Uighur Muslims like Tibetans?

[Anomalocaris]

If the cruise missile had a nuclear warhead attached, I doubt we'd go bankrupt before before the Taliban went dead.

The political reprecussion of using nuclear warheads against foes who have no nuclear weapons would likely far outweigh the benefit of killing some taliban. For one thing, every country that could equip itself with nuclear weapon but who hasn't chosen to do so would likely now do so. Each of these country would now want in its back pocket the ability to stay a nuclear strike from the US with an ability to retaliate with a nuclear weapon.

Within a decade the world would be fully nuclearized, uncertainty in political and diplomatic alignment would skyrocket. America's comparity advantages in threat of technological terror would plummet.

The world would eliminate the niche for any nuclear superpower. We would be by far the biggest loser.
