I just don't understand why you automatically assume fallout or radioactive rain would fall on the country that launched the nuke,even if they are neighbors. What is it about the word RISK that you do not understand, my friend? Repeatedly, I have said that no president will be mad enough to take this RISK. No country is mad enough to risk* nuclear contamination on its own land by attacking with nukes to a neighbour.* Message 18382763 I said no country is dumb enough to nuke a neighbouring country, even if they are bloodthirsty enough. I did not say the risk of poisoning your own land and people is the only reason not to nuke a neighbour. Message 18382637 I doubt if Israel is run by people mad enough to nuke a neighbouring country and risk* poisoning of their very own Holy Land.* Message 18382545 So you see, it is not me who has "automatically assumed fallout or radioactive rain would fall on the country that launched the nuke", it is you who has not read my posts before replying to them.
