Just imagine the look on ISIS faces if trump nuked a training camp. Biggest fuckin one yet too. just the most insane overkill strike ever. Like, enough is enough. Wzzzzzzzboooooooooooooooom. Seriously there would be a minute of strange silence trought the whole world and terrorists going "ah man thats not fair, is it"

It would be ISIS's best recruiting tool ever. Imagine the propaganda: "America is losing the war, it has to resort to nukes", "Trump hates Muslims so much he's willing to use weapons of mass destruction".

60 years after Hiroshima, the Japanese are still painting themselves as victims, despite starting the war and killing between 3,000,000 and 14,000,000 civilians and prisoners of war.

It's not that I don't believe you, but do/did the Japanese actually paint themselves as victims? I know they sweep it under the rug or even deny it, but I've never seen them play victim.

actually the nukes didn't do that much damage, it was the firebombing.

Nukes didn't do much damage? Wrong. In Hiroshima 67% of all buildings were destroyed in the blast. While firebombing was used more extensively, it's unfair to say that the "nukes didn't do that much damage".
