It is easy to buy 100 Astros or equivalent MRLS, but it is not
easy to build 10 nukes.
U jolly know that we cant afford to operate 100 Astros in terms
of manpower.
Alternatively, we can have 50 aircrafts armed with guided
missiles, and accurate intelligence of where the 50 Astros are. If
we take the initiative of first attack and wipe out the Astros, or
at least keep them out of range, we are ok. I think this is
feasible, and I believe there are more than one feasible
alternatives. The number of planes and astros or any MLRS may be
hypothetical, but the principle consideration is the same.
Do you see the threat of 50 Astros? Do you see that it is much
easy for them to launch 40 Astros at us before all 50 Aircraft can
be off in the sky? Do you see that the Astros are strategic weapons
and our 50 Aircrafts are not and do you see that it is to our
disadvantage?
As i had said many times, there is a limit for Singapore to match
the race with conventional weapons, over that limit, Singapore have
to go WMD style. That apply to Israel, Pakistan, Japan and
Taiwan.
But that is a lose lose situation. It is not a deterence,
A lose lose situation is a deterence. Read MAD.
for Malaysia or Indonesia can afford more land and more
population to be destroyed than we do.
You are damm sure that they are willing to lose 22 million
people (for malaysia) for just 4 Million people?
I do not see why are they at an advantage in terms of population
and land when we launch 10 nukes at them, destroying 10 of their
cities. The cost for them is too large for them to pay.
Has the Isrealis nuke prevented anything? no. Will China be
deterred from attacking Taiwan if Taiwan had a nuke? no, i think
China will attack first. Is India afraid of the nuke from Pakistan?
I think now India will not hessitate to throw a few nukes to
destroy Pakistan nukes first if war starts.
You are bloody wrong. The Isrealis nuke had ever since detered
conventional war on Israeli soil for many years, although war had
been wage before when Israel went nuclear, the ME countries now see
that attacking Israel will be damm costly with 500 Nuclear warheads
in their hand. Do you see potential security challenge from Jordan
, Egypt and Syria now? And why do you think Iran want to go
nuclear?
Comeon, India will not hessitate to throw a few nukes as well as
Pakistan as well as Russia to US in the Coldwar, as well North
Korea currently. But it is because of a nuclear deterrence by
someone, somewhere that prevent such shit to happen. If North Korea
do not have a credible nuclear deterrent, US will think much less
into going a war. Same goes to the other example
Please do not disregard the deterrent effect of a nuclear
arsenal.
We should take note that nuke or any other facility producing
WMD in singapore will become a primary target for terrorists, or
commando attack even before war starts. A leak is enough.
Comon, Tengal Airbase had been for years a potential taget for
terrorist and Commando attack. Remove it ok?
When nuke is used, we know that God is not with us anymore. For
the sake of all mankind, may nuke never be used.
For all respect, it think this is native of you to think like
that.
