Somebody's off his meds again

Sadly, No! brings us what has to be the most bug-fuck psychotic screed purporting to be sound, rational foreign policy advice ever typed between bouts of electroshock therapy:
Adam Yoshida's Masterpiece, "Nuke Iran"

Favorite line:
"Of course, once the decision to use nuclear weapons in any capacity has been taken, there’s no real reason to limit their use."

I keep seeing Adam in black and white astride a nuclear bomb, cowboy hat in one hand screaming, "Yeeeeehaaa! YEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAWWW!" I get the feeling this poor, sick individual saw Dr. Strangelove and thought it was a gripping drama about men with "the right stuff" making the tough choices...a utopian vision of the future.


General "Buck" Turgidson: Mr. President, we are rapidly approaching a moment of truth both for ourselves as human beings and for the life of our nation. Now, truth is not always a pleasant thing. But it is necessary now to make a choice, to choose between two admittedly regrettable, but nevertheless *distinguishable*, postwar environments: one where you got twenty million people killed, and the other where you got a hundred and fifty million people killed.

President Merkin Muffley: You're talking about mass murder, General, not war!

General "Buck" Turgidson: Mr. President, I'm not saying we wouldn't get our hair mussed. But I do say no more than ten to twenty million killed, tops. Uh, depending on the breaks.


I think one of the commentors sums it up best with:

It took him two months to write this because his keepers kept retightening the bindings of his straitjacket and knocking the crayon out from between his toes.

Dude is completely off his (wing)nut. Not to mention the fact that he's CANADIAN and keeps saying 'we' need to nuke them. Uh, hello, douchebag? You're one of the Holier-Than-Thou from the North. You have no nukes.

Yeah one of the commentors responded to him talking about how an attack on New York City would effect "us", reminding him he was Canadian and how unlikely it was that there would be retaliatory nuke strikes on Moose Jaw.
