It is relevant to the argument if the high gas prices is worth the sacrifice.

Criminal that DOOM will have endless remakes but Duke Nuke 'em seems to have disappeared.
(There's some fun clips out there of the voice actor of "Duke Nuke'em...which was a ridiculously over the top piece of digital misogyny, reads portions from the then insanely popular and even MORE ridiculous and over the top "50 Shades of Grey". Imagine Arnold Schwarzenegger doing an audible version of the book in full Terminator character and completely serious.)
You probably had to be there.)

Do you know when was that estimate done and what transpired since then? A small hint... that intelligence was grossly out of date. Care to guess by how much? You can easily verify it and report back....
Uh huh... buried. Now we play whack-a-mole unless they give up on the nukes.... that's the net effect of having a fanatical regime hellbent on acquiring nuclear weapons. And you seem to love the idea of them having it as you said so yourself.
Just as we weren't under any imminent threat on December 6, 1941, nor on September 10, 2001.... or how the world was under no threat during Anschluss or invasion of Poland. Naturally, in your world, nuking Tel Aviv would be justified, wouldn't it? Not to mention, it wouldn't have any effect on us, nor would it be in our national interest.... right?
The back and forth is pretty fun when you're dealing with highly ignorant, highly partisan, and highly opinionated people who think they know everything and claim they voted for Trump...

Don't take my word for it, go and read about it. It was perfect.

POTUS telling us that we should have to bear additional sacrifice was terrible statement to make.

Newsflash. They don’t have nukes. And they wouldn’t have nukes for the next 10 yrs, esp after last years June bombing. Source: our own U.S. intelligence.
Nuclear weapon is the new boogeyman. NK is even nuttier than Iran, yet they never got bombed like Iran. Weird. Oh wait, I know why.

Shy must have access to all those TS briefings that we don’t! Thank God he’s here to share.
