Make a deal with the aliens to save myself and several of my friends and family....and then still possibly betray them if the opportunity arises.
Whatever we used to reach their planet would be a damn sight more effective than a 50 megaton bomb.Ace of Spades said:I meant more if we were to counter-invade, assuming we had the technology to reach their planet.YawningAngel said:Feel free to correct me, but why is using nuclear weapons on our home planet a good idea? That way, the aliens can win just by provoking us into nuking our own planet and mopping up.Ace of Spades said:I would refuse. Assuming the alien was true to its word, integrating into alien society would not be something I'd be willing to do. Plus I'd love to see an enemy which we could actually use nuclear weapons against.
In any case, any alien with the technology to actually get here could crush us effortlessly anyway, so the answer to the OP is "HELL YES".
well nukes is sooo last year now days you use hydrogen nukes much more effective and cleaner, if you go for pure H-bombs you get (more or less) a big hole and some water (A lot less radiation) I could live with thatAce of Spades said:I meant more if we were to counter-invade, assuming we had the technology to reach their planet.YawningAngel said:Feel free to correct me, but why is using nuclear weapons on our home planet a good idea?
