“This is the price of freedom. Violent nuts are allowed to roam free until they do damage, no matter how threatening they are." — violent nut Bill O’Reilly, October 1st 2017, proving at while satire may not be dead, it can’t keep up with real-life insanity
Isn’t this why NK and Iran are being allowed to develop nuclear weapons, to end the existential threat of nuclear destruction the U.S.A. represents to advocates of global socialism?
And for those of you who think someone being able to have a Nuke small enough for ANYONE to use is fiction, we had them in the 50s…https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davy_Crockett_(nuclear_device)
In Neal Stephenson’s “Snow Crash,” Dmitri Ravinoff, aka “Raven,” used a nuclear device as personal protection. It was rigged to detonate with cessation of his brain activity. Everyone around him was very protective of Raven’s well-being.
Mr. Bolling has summed up North Korea’s raison d’etre for nuclear weapons precisely in his last panel.
All their saber rattling and missile testing is to get the world to pay attention to them and respect them as a world player. They’re like a little child who craves attention – negative attention is better than being ignored.
I seem to recall Vernor Vinge’s “The Ungoverned”, in which the military from the Republic of New Mexico invaded Kansas. Unfortunately, the invading army made the mistake of attempting to cross the property of a nuclear-armed rancher…
I hate to say this, but when I heard that the mass murder in Las Vegas was carried out by a single, white, middle-aged male, with no known political affiliations, I breathed a sigh of relief.
Imagine the hysteria coming from Washington and the alt-right had the shooter been an African-American, Hispanic, or Muslim ?
I fear it would have opened the floodgates of repressions, retaliations and draconian legislation in the name of protecting the U.S. against “terrorists” – foreign and domestic.

When we declare worldwide peace we should remember to send out thoughts and prayers to all the newly bankrupt weapons manufactures.

Nuclear bomb seekers have never needed reactors.
Power reactors destroy bomb cores, safely and forever, like nothing else.

The 911 terrorists used planes as weapons. Shall we ban planes?
