So NBC wants nuclear war.
Seems they just asserted that our soldiers are REALLY being killed by the Iranians.

Isn't NBC owned by General Electric. Doesn't GE make nuclear weapons?

Wonder if Russia & China will mind the fallout.

8. Clearwater, Fla, the GE Nuclear trigger plant is located there...
...that pretty much clinches it for the 20 suitcase nuclear bombs, they'll certainly have triggers for those

4. GE is huge
they make everything.

If the world were plunged into a depression, they'd lose much more than they'd gain if we started a war in yet a third country.

6. Nuclear war = the only compasionate way to end ALL problems.
At least the rich don't survive. And if they did do, they'd quickly envy the dead.

10. However, they seem to act as if they thought they were exempt.
Like a short, brutal life in a palatial fallout shelter under a mountain somewhere is preferable to having to put up with us riffraff.

9. And the aircraft engine business...
Probably believe the US can just make a few Air Force bombing runs and the Iranians will roll over & meekly accept whatever the big white x-tians tells them to do.

"From fighters, helicopters and transports to the next generation of unmanned aircraft, GE's military engines provide the necessary power and reliability for any military application. GE's engines are proven in service and continue to operate in critical missions around the world."
