    It's been interesting to watch centrist liberals adopt the arguments for nuclear brinksmanship that used to be the preserve of truly unhinged figures like JAMES Burnham, Douglas MacArthur, Curtis LeMay and Gen. J.D. Ripper.

        i'm a somewhat left of center liberal, and I still think nuclear war is bad. I also think Nate Silver and Matt Yglesias are bad too though, and Chapo and Jacobian as well. Where is my tribe at?

        Nuclear war is bad but the taking the least confrontational posture & loudly telling that to your adversary is bringing us closer to it every day

        rather than Ripper this one from General "Buck" Turgidson "were to immediately launch an all out and coordinated attack on all their airfields and missile bases we'd stand a damn good chance of catching 'em with their pants down."

        you know, nuclear war is very very bad. it would be a horrific disaster that would thoroughly destroy the ecosystem and would end humanity as we know it. BUT..

        I honestly don´t know what is the end game for them. Like the solution for a regional war is making Europe a radioactive wasteland?

        Is that the centrist liberal position given that the centrist liberal President keeps rejecting it. Or are we using liberal to mean conservative?
