Arkansas state senator suggests US nuke allies in order to deal with ISIS threat

[DonViejo]

Wow. I think it's "get the net" time in Arkansas.

-----------------------------

kansas state Senator Jason Rapert took to Facebook to suggest that the best way to “quickly turn things around” in territory captured by Islamic State extremists would be a “strategically placed nuclear weapon.”

“With ISIS spreading all over the Middle East and Africa and Islamic Extremists carrying out violence in Europe, the United Kingdom and even in the United States, I wonder why the civilized world just sits by when we have weapons that could wipe out these barbarians where they are concentrated?” he asked.

“I believe,” Rapert continued, “it is time to annihilate the strongholds and pursue the rest till we have them all captured or killed. A strategically placed nuclear weapon would save the lives of our soldiers and quickly turn things around.”

“It is time for the insanity to be stopped.”

It is unclear in the borders of which nominal United States ally Rapert believes this nuclear weapon should be “strategically placed,” but there is no scenario in which fallout from a nuclear explosion would not endanger lives in staunch U.S. allies like Israel.

Earlier today, Rapert took to Twitter to claim that opposition to his plan indicates that “liberals love ISIS”:

9. HUH? Where did you get that, never said anything close to that.

2. He doesn't acknowledge all the innocent people that would be killed.

They don't even exist to him. He doesn't even see them as human beings. He doesn't care that croplands, food and water resources would be destroyed and poisoned for generations. He advocating genocide and that makes him no different than any of the other brutes he proposes to destroy. His only distinction that sets him apart from the rest of the bloodthirsty horde, is the sheer murderous scope of his madness. Like them, he is a sociopath and has no place any civilized society.

[Depaysement]

3. All that plus

A wee bit of blowback.

4. Glad

that his state doesnt have US ICBM or hosts nuclea-capable bombers.

What if there was a (touch wood) Daesh (proper name for ISIL/ISIS) terrorist in his backyard? Would he nuke them and nuke his house as well?

5. Also not forgetting that

the tactical nuclear bunker busters he talks about was an idea scrapped by the GEORGE W BUSH ADMINISTRATION.

6. Only if he would emulate Maj. Kong on the first one.
