Ok, again not speaking from my own perspective but rather identifying other perspectives, but I seriously doubt the world would be mad at Russia if they nuked ISIS. I can't tell you how many times I've heard people I know say "we should all just nuke the muslism and wipe them out since they just want to kill each other and the rest of us." I hear people saying this over and over again because of their attacks. Again, I don't agree with that mentality as a Christian (I'd rather people live to hopefully turn their lives to Christ), but it is one I see and hear a lot from people. This leads me to believe that if Russia did nuke ISIS, most (imo) would not complain because it's what a lot/the majority of people in the "developed world" would want in the first place, but are too moderate to suggest it. The people in that region already hate the rest of us. Even if developed nations didn't do anything in their countries to tick them off, the islamic religion calls us all infidels. Muhammad marched and slaughtered his enemies and possibly raped people, whose the founding pillar of their religion. That isn't peaceful sounding at all. I don't want muslims to die (I want them to live and believe in Jesus), but a lot of people probably think our lives would be better off without people that are brainwashed by groups like ISIS, Al Queda, El Shabob (I don't care if I spell it incorrectly as they don't deserve to have my concern on spelling) and islamic theocracatic nations to hate and kill us. I'm confident that if the islamic extremist could use a nuke, they would, without a doubt. |
I don't think you quite understand what nuclear weapons represent. If the world wouldn't care about potentially hundreds of thousands of innocent people being massacred in an instant by nuclear weapons, we wouldn't have spent 70 years avoiding their use.
There have been dozens of points over that time where their use would have been far more justified than now (and indeed there were a few close calls during the cold war), yet those 1st two 70 years ago were the last 2. Heck, despite it happening before most of us were even born, and it generally being considered justified, the US's nuking of Japan is still commonly considered a tragedy. Why? Because regardless to what hateful things people might spout in anger or ignorance, few want to live in a world where the death of thousands is considered fine and dandy.
Anyway, i'm going to take my leave at this point. I've said pretty much everything i have the energy to say. I'm really not fond of political threads.
