Do we really have to take military action to Syria?

@peter jeffrey cobb,

When a Member Nation has weapons of mass destruction, They rationalize on different ways they can use them. They are making plans on how to use them. Members agreed to not use them. They should not own them.

That's a direct contradiction.

@cicerone imposter,

Yes I agree. If the member has weapons of mass destruction, surely they have some kind of battle plan on how they will use it.
And they agreed not to use any. So yes it is a contradiction.

Well, someone in Pentagon planning probably has worked up plans to fend off an invasion from Tierra del Fuego. T'ain't likely. . . .

No, not very likely. I've just checked the FBI website and it's only flagged as an amber alert at the moment.

A Nation member should have to prove they are not going to use weapons of mass destruction by destroying them. Why would a member not destroy their weapons of mass destruction? Unless a member has some battle plan that it is intended to be used in? That would be premeditation to use weapons of mass destruction.

The United States retains nuclear weapons so that we can deter others from using nuclear weapons against us or our allies.

Were there to be a program that reliably eliminated nukes worldwide, we would likely agree to it. But absent the reliable elimination of nukes from all other nations, we will never give up our nuclear deterrent.

More slimy Uncle Sam dribble, Oralboy. Wipe your chin. The US has no allies, it only has people and countries that it uses. The US will sell anyone down the river in a heartbeat.

The US keeps the largest arsenal the world has ever seen, all manner of weapons, bigger than the next four or five countries combined. The US greedily sucks up most of the energy on the planet all to keep in place its criminal ability to steal from the poor of the world.

All this reminds me of the (probably apocryphal) conversation between JFK and one of the USSR Foreign Ministers.

They were discussing nuclear disarmament…and JFK asked, “What would you do if we both proceeded in good faith…and at some point after we supposedly destroyed our complete arsenals, you found out that because of a mistake, you still had some nuclear devices in stock?”

“Well,” came the reply, “first we would immediately notify you of the mistake. And then we would issue our ultimatum.”

One of the facts of life that some people like to ignore. It is a matter of self defense now. If we destroyed all our nukes how long do you think it would take North Korea to nuke us?

@RABEL222,

Are you planning on using one of those weapons of mass destruction?
Are you premeditating it?

@peter jeffrey cobb,

Only as a threat to anyone who was thinking about using it on us. Do you know what a deterrent is. Both you and JTT should go back to the Delbert cartoon. I think the meaning went right over your heads. Or are you one of those guys who likes to argue just for the sake of argument.

I agree with you! I wonder where these guys have their heads? If we eliminate all of our WMD's and only rogue states have them, what do they think will happen?

DUH!

@RABEL222,

Yes they have been used in the past in conflicts.
But we agreed not to use them. So there is not rationalization to "yes but we will use them in case there is a conflict." That is premeditation to using weapons of mass destruction.
A Nation member should not own weapons of mass destruction.

You and CI are so dumb, not that I'm telling you anything new, that you can't even comprehend that Peter has you both tied up in knots.

Then you would be the only rogue state not to have WMDs. But you could buy WMDs back all the WMDs from all the rogue states that you have supplied with WMDs, using, of course, you little sheeple's money.
