Why don't we just nuke ISIS, ISIL, whatever they're called?

Are you sure you're not trolling?
It really seems like you have no empathy towards people living in that region. It's like you see them all as enemies, or maybe not even human. You do know that there are millions of people there that are terrified of ISIS and that just want to get by in life and take care of their loved ones. They are no different from you or I. You know that right? Maybe spend some time reading about the culture and the people, the good people and not terrorists, of the region.

I almost peed hahaha
not with nukes...obviously.
You make the red area a radioactive area so the ISIS that decide to take the risk to cross that area end up with three arms.

you can't put a price on sparks
well on the southern route below the red circle, I was thinking a line of napalm.
why restrain yourself?
also, i need you to color in the area you are thinking for the napalm, preferably with orange flames
No because when the wrong people get in office, they will use that to get rid of anyone they dislike plus innocent people die.
Politics and global issues are complicated and not as simple as you think. Plus ISIS is more like an idea of that group. You kill that group, another takes their place with the same or similar idea.

OP, you're no different than ISIS.
Pretty sure he doesn't know what the word "consequences" mean.

Sounds effective, if a bit sociopathic. And downright amoral. And largely evil in every way. To be fair, that's like shooting a fly, rather than swatting it. Moral implications aside, it's hugely impractical and downright pointless. You can't 'nuke' an organisation spread far and wide throughout the Middle East. Bringing back the issue of morality, are you joking~? Or do you squash ants for pleasure?

Why don't we just drop nukes on every region of the world that's having problems right now?

His plan involves murdering millions of innocent people. I think if he's serious he's actually worse than ISIS
Still don't choose to believe he's serious though

Obviously !
Man seriously wtf? Unless the nuke is made out of chocolate and candies. Do you realise how many innocent people you would be killing who just happen to be living in the wrong time at the wrong place?

You are aware that the radiation doesn't just stay where the bomb was dropped right?
Ha, I see people saying this a lot on these forums. I think maybe you're spending too much time on GAF. Visit most other forums on the internet and you will find people with this kind of viewpoint. I personally know people that think like this, I kid you not.
I do admire that you really want to believe people don't think this way, I wish it were so.
I thought it was ketchup.

Oh, you're so full of it. You're not really this stupid.

... I say, come to think of it, we should adopt this mentality a bit more often. Rather than using food packages and other forms of humanitarian aid to help cure poverty, we should just nuke any downtrodden, destitute areas! That'll eliminate the riff-raff, I say~! The serfs needn't bother us any longer, for if they do become a liability, we should just nuke them!
And if a manhunt is on in a poor area, then we should just nuke it in order to kill whoever we're searching for~! Oh, I slay me~ This nuking business knows no bounds, does it, my esteemed ladies and gentlemen~?

For real. We nuke hot pockets, occasionally pizza bites. Nothing more, nothing less.

... Pretty sure that would happen anytime you try to use a nuke to kill large groups of people unless you're fighting space aliens or some shit.
To answer the op, IDK why we have nukes at this point. Most places that would warrant one in a fight would just try to nuke the US right after and "terrorist" normally mix in with non terrorist and shit so nuking them would just breed more people in the area who hate the US for fucking with them.
TUESDAY, 8:03PM, WASHINGTON D.C., THE OVAL OFFICE
TTUVAPOR, THE NEWLY ELECTED PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, STANDS FACING THE WINDOW. MEMBERS OF HIS STAFF ARE SEATED AROUND THE ROOM.
RAYMOND GARRISON, SECRETARY OF DEFENSE: "Sir, I've just got word... Boko Haram has kidnapped a dozen girls in the deep forests of Nigeria. These girls are as young as ten years old and are being forced to marry some of the men."
TTUVAPOR: "How horrible! Do you have any recommendations?"
RAYMOND GARRISON: "We're obviously giving any relevant intel we have from aerial drones and our satellites to the Nigerian government for use to track them down. From our perspective, I recommend a measured approach of limited aid to the Nigeria governme--"
TTUVAPOR: "Nuke them, Raymond."
RAYMOND GARRISON: "Sir, that seems like a really disproportionate response to this situation. May I suggest something a bit more... measured?"
TTUVAPOR: "Have you ever been to Chernobyl, Mr. Garrison?"
RAYMOND GARRISON: "Uh, no Mr. President. I can't say that I have."
TTUVAPOR: "Well, I haven't been there either. But my aids tell me it's quite nice there now. Sure, a few malformed animals here and there, but perfectly livable. A nuke would solve our problem. We can live with a few more Chernobyl's if it means saving those girls."
RAYMOND GARRISON: "But sir... you'd kill tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands more simply to save a mere dozen girls! Surely... surely that can't be America's approach?"
TTUVAPOR: "That's the problem with you Washington insiders. Never thinking outside the box. I've seen a documentary once, and I hear some of our own soldiers saying 'nuke them' adamantly, and you know what?"
RAYMOND GARRISON SIGHS DEEPLY
RAYMOND GARRISON: "What, sir?"
TTUVAPOR: "They're the ones who would have to fight these beeke haracha people, not you or I!"
RAYMOND GARRISON: "Boko Haram, sir."
TTUVAPOR: "I swear to fucking God I knew I should have appointed Ted Cruz as Secretary of Defense. Goddamned intellectuals..."

Nothing more severe than "thats probably not a good idea because x". I think the general populace would be behind the general idea though.

Agreed.
While I see what you are trying to indicate it isn't quite accurate. The blast zone you show has a radius of 50 miles, the Tsar Bomba had a radius of 22 miles. The most powerful US nuke tested is a fraction of that size and nothing close to it is even in an arsenal anymore.
While it is nonsense, there are areas of yellow zone that could be nuked without the blast radius exceeding the boundaries.
I love you.
