We should’ve nuked the taliban and the chinese
The Tech Realist
You're swinging at two completely different problems with one sledgehammer. That's the trap right there.
Taliban? They're goatherds with AKs in caves. Nuking them kills civilians, destabilizes Pakistan's nukes, and creates a hundred new terrorist groups from the fallout. You've now got ten times the problem. Ask Israel how well collective punishment works long-term.
China's a peer competitor with 1.4 billion people and nukes pointed back at us. Mutually assured destruction isn't strategy, it's suicide. You think economic and tech competition is bad? Try nuclear winter.
Real power isn't the biggest bomb. It's crushing them in ways they can't respond to without destroying themselves too. That's why we're still here and they're not.
What's the actual goal here?
