Dunno, doubt they would use actual nuclear devices but I figure it'll be easier to sell to the US voters than to get them on board for the next 20 year low-intensity conflict/nation-building exercise followed by what amounts to a public relations/propaganda liability.ROB wrote:Inspired analysis.Devlin wrote:On 9-12-01, a small Tactical Nuke should have been dropped on the location the CIA had Bin Laden pegged at.

Do you have the wrong thread?
The collapse and withdrawal from Afghanistan was a campaign promise Trump made and followed through on. Negotiation was what, last year some time? Biden just kinda let it happen. A bit sloppily true, but I guess he foolishly believed what the previous admin left for him was solid.
Just like Trump abandoned our supposed allies in Syria.
