The Atlantic Council, one of the most influential foreign policy think tanks in the US, advocates nuclear first use when US territories are not threatened.
fucking lmfao
As much as I hate it, I'm upvoting this just so people can finally get a grip about how fucking insane the AC really is.
Even weirder since China is one of the only two countries with a no-first-use nuclear policy (the other being India).
This is pretty much just inviting the mainland to nuke Taiwan (and the US?) by nuking them first.
If any nukes get used against China, all gloves come off. China's NFU policy is pretty clear on that.
New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington? All wiped off the map. That's the cost of a nuclear first strike against a conventionally-armed foe.
The US is treating Israel and Taiwan as though they are American territories. This is the natural consequence.
