By that definition almost no city has been razed. There were buildings remaining in Dresden, Cologne, Hiroshima. Do we want to quibble about about the semantics of mass destruction?

Where did I say no buildings had to be left to be considered razed?

would you consider any of the Ukraine cities to be on the same level as Dresden, Cologne, Toyko, Hiroshima, and Nagaski?

They may all be worldwide brands, but they are all U.S. companies. However, removal of those companies from Russia would accomplish nothing other than improving the overall health of Russians. I fully support their continued sales in Russia.

I bet if you took a deep dive into these companies the international legs operate independently.

All corporations pay zero taxes. The consumer of the corps goods pay the taxes. Taxes are just the cost of doing business, just like raw materials or labor. It's simply added to the cost of goods.

I couldn't imagine not automatically retaliating. You lose either way, but why let the aggressor go unscathed if you see nuclear attack as essentially an endgame or the victim too weakened to be a major power and ready for the predators?

Because Europe is expendable?

No offense to the Europeans, but if Putin executed a tactical strike of say 50 Kt on a military target not in a populated area, would we up the ante by striking more than one target of our own knowing the explosions would grow to the east and west?

Nuclear brinkmanship is not an easy political play regardless of who's in the White House or the Kremlin. Where does it stop once it starts?

And China takes over the world...

I did see they weren't targeted at all which I find unusual if one is throwing around hundreds of warheads. Whether it comes from us or Russia, one might think they'd get hit in some strategic areas and targets.

You guys need to understand that this place has been a hive for trumpism and I've already been hacked by Putin on twit. volnation has a VERY large audience. That is why I am so careful. I'm seeing signs of being invaded again. Why did ras just disappear after three days of 24 hr propaganda?

I don't normally work with the mentally ill, but if you need me to arrange for you a safe place to stay, then I can do so.

There are any number of militarily important targets in Tennessee.

As stated: ORNL, Fort Campbell, Holsten Army Ammo Plant, Alcoa, Mid South Naval Activity, even NFS in Erwin could throw up enough fallout (with a ground burst) to make certain areas of the south uninhabitable for a thousand years.

True. Never said otherwise. People believe that when you raise taxes on corporations they're paying a bigger share. They're not, the price if whatever they make/do goes up. Whomever purchases their goods or services pays the increase plus a mark-up. Same with raising the minimum wage. If they person gets higher wages then the product goes up thus nullifying what gain they have due to inflation.
