Nahncee @ somewhere above:

“Agree. As wannabe-human beings they’re simply not cutting it”

No, it is not they are not human, they are, very human. With all the foibles and weaknesses that entails. It is more like Bob @ 85 or so:

“…Some of the women out in the country have never been to the next village four miles down the road in their entire lives.”

Nahncee, you expose your lack of knowledge of the rest of the world and betray that your view is provincial – your province is all you know. There are some places in the world that would mess up your mind very badly. Afghanistan is one of those places that time, mostly, forgot. BTW, being provincial doe not mean backward, it implies limited.

Pakistan is a worry because they have nukes. It may be that we will have control of the warheads if things go sideways. I hope that is true BUT things could go so badly wrong we would lose them. And yes, triggers or guidance or arming could be cobbled together. They are fairly simple machines. The trick is making them safe – 99.99999% safe is no mean trick. But if you do not care, then no so much. Also, getting them delivered is not that hard. A dirty bomb could be more destructive than a functioning nuke to support systems. Hell, you can shut down the capital of any state for a few days with a letter with talcum powder in it. Happened here.

With 0bummer and Co. so feckless, the bad actors are gathering and making plans. When the message or messages are delivered will there be any body home?
