China treating Uighur Muslims like Tibetans?

[The Grand Nudger]

Point probably ought to be made that it isn't as though the balance with regards to tents and cruise missiles actually eludes military strategists or planners - those bought politicians both within the armed forces and the civilian sector are part of the reason that we launch those missiles at tents. They're creating a market for their product. At some point, as a weapons manufacturer...you need people to actually use your weapons, or else they won't have much of an incentive to buy more of them.

The political impact of using nuclear warheads against foes who have no nuclear weapons would likely be such we would still go bankrupt not long after the Taliban, as each nation without a nuclear weapon, but with economic and geopolitical interdependency with the US now redouble their efforts to protect themselves by acquiring the ability to respond to any American nuclear strike with ability to cause America more pain than a nuclear weapon's worth.

Is that what happened last time? Who did they buy those weapons from? I know, I know, it's unthinkable and shitty.......but it's there, and people might talk a big game about what they would do (if we went nuke happy)...but we have all evidence to the contrary. Which is also shitty, yes.
