#1 Interesting list. I would buy native / domestic expertise from some, others when pigs fly.

Actually, if Tsar Putty or Dr Hu (or the ISI) deems it useful to add a proxy, then any country could be the next nuke player.

Too bad we can't (read: won't) do much (read: anything) about it, either. Would it help to mention that both Patton and (maybe) Chiang Kia-shek were right?

This is another place where Fred's new-found pithy saying (xbalanke's "If this weren't so despicably evil it would be funny.") would fit so well.

The world will probably be awash in them in another 20-30 years. I won't be here.

#2 I still think the first nuclear exchange will be between middle eastern countries.

#3 I think the first will be truck carried and detonated in a large western city. My 2 cents. I pray I'm wrong.

#4 Or a freighter in an U.S. or Israeli port.

And I bet Kerry and the gang already have their speeches about 'moderate response' and 'consulting the UN' already written.

Lol. You're so brave. And clueless. These just be werds, dipshit, and you just be a gutless shadow in the ether.

#7 I was gonna say something. Then I figured anything I said would be a dull butter knife to your Ginsu

I agree, "Takfir" is a big thing with Jihadis. One thinks the other is more Islamic then the next. So they blow each other up to "pure" it out. Of it wasn't for the fallout, I would be all for it.
