The reason I ask is that during his time as leader of the UK Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn said he would if becoming Prime Minister refuse
to retaliate if the UK was attacked with nuclear weapons by a foreign power.
We love Jeremy in the UK but was he right?
Much criticism resulted by those who said he was a threat to National Security and also because he had previously had talks with both Hamas and the IRA.
During the 1970's it was estimated the 8 well placed Nuclear Missiles would wipe out all life in the British Isles.
Consider that a full-scale nuclear attack on the US would involve both first & second wave strikes.
All life in the North & Central American continent will be dead within half an hour - there is no escape!
If the President launches a full-scale retaliation along with NATO allies you will kill not just millions of innocent Russians, but put so much radiation into the atmosphere that within a short time all life on Earth will have perished.
The answer of course from both a morality and Christian ethics point of view is of course Jeremy Corbyn is right!
How can we even consider being jointly responsible for destroying all life on earth barring perhaps only the cockroaches?
All Nations must unilaterally get rid of their Nuclear Weapons whether the Russians & Chinese do or not!
A nuclear arsenal is essentially a major deterrent to all out war but when you announce you would never use it, it kinda loses it's purpose. What an idiotic announcement to make, even if he has strong convictions against their use.
It's like going into a fight after you announced you'll only throw light slaps no matter what they do.
No, it isn't!
I would, and expect everybody else to defend themselves with whatever degree of violence necessary if someone has made it clear they are going to kill you, no matter how slight your chances of overcoming them.
Under nuclear attack, there is not a snowball's chance in hell you are going to survive. Retaliation is pointless unless you want to kill people who are totally innocent and risk killing all life on Earth.
you are a real dumbass--someone attacks us with nukes--and we should do NOTHING??????!! IDIOT
They won't attack us with nukes if we don't have any in the first place.
Why would anyone attack Ireland, Iceland, Switzerland or Papua New Guinea?
If Iran or NK wipe out NYC, DC, Philly , Chi and Boston then I won’t lose any sleep
Whatever about them I think a strike on Las Vagas could only result in an improvement.
