German Political Adviser Claims US Considered Nuking Afghanistan

It’s no secret that American history is littered with examples of truly horrendous crimes, most of which were committed by our own government. In the past, the feds have been known to confiscate wealth from American citizens, conduct scientific experiments on unwitting and unwilling subjects, round up citizens into internment camps, and commit genocide against native ethnic groups, among many other crimes.

In recent years our government has apologized for these incidents, and has tried to convince us that its brutal nature is all in the past. Of course, nothing could be further from the truth; especially in regards to the use of nuclear weapons against civilian populations, which our government has never apologized for. This actually makes sense, since they probably don’t even view mass civilian casualties as a crime in the first place. As our recent overseas wars have shown, our government still has no qualms about inflicting collateral damage, and no amount of apologizing for past crimes can cover up that fact.

So, unfortunately, it shouldn’t come as any surprise that the US government would consider using nuclear weapons in a modern conflict, which may have happened according to a recent article published in Der Spiegel. Make no mistake, our government is just as savage as it has always been.

The United States considered using nuclear weapons against Afghanistan in response to the September 11 attacks, Der Spiegel reported on its website Saturday.

Michael Steiner, who served as a political advisor to then-German Chancellor Gerhard Schroder, told the German daily that the nuclear option was one of the possibilities examined after the attacks.

“The papers were written,” Steiner said when asked whether the U.S. was considered using nuclear weapons in response to the attacks orchestrated by Al-Qaida’s Osama bin Laden, in which almost 3,000 people were killed. “They had really played through all possibilities.”

Steiner added that Schroder had feared that the U.S., which was in a state of shock following the attacks, would overreact.

Could you imagine? Our government may have actually considered using nukes against one of the poorest nations on the planet. What kind of sick mind would even put that option on the table? Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time that our government has considered using nukes to quite literally level the playing field.

President Eisenhower threatened to use nukes during the Korean War, if the cease-fire agreement fell through. President Johnson left the nuclear option on the table during the Vietnam War, when US Marines were under siege at Khe Sanh. Even Bush Sr. made it abundantly clear that if Saddam Hussein used any of his chemical or biological weapons during the Gulf War, that the Iraqis would feel the wrath of our nuclear arsenal.

So this latest revelation isn’t as shocking as it would be in a sane world. The US government is still the unhinged genocidal war machine that it was in previous eras. And now that tensions are rising with nuclear-armed Russia, we can only hope and pray that cooler heads will prevail once again.

  1. Are Germans really questioning other nations brutality? Friggin hypocrites.

  2. 9/11 was done by Israel, Saudis, & The U.S.

  3. Why is the inhumanly wicked lie of 9/11 still glossed over here, leaving readers to believe Bin Laden was the perpetrator? Yes, agree, that considering to nuke Afghanistan was horrific, but why not tell us too, that the same bstds thinking of nuking Afghanistan, were responsible for 9/11 and not Bin Laden! Jeez, especially as for some years now, how the US gov murdered their own people in cold blood, has been known all over the planet!
    9/11 was a done deed, nuking Afghanistan, a proposed one, so why let the 9/11 atrocity ride here, instead of exposing it — even by adding it in between the lines — of the most odious and worst criminal betrayal ever visited by a government on its own people. Neither will the American people or the world ever forget 9/11.

  4. Nuke Afghanistan? It ALREADY looks as if it had been nuked!

  5. The threat of nuclear weapons is always with us, as “all options are always on the table” as they say. After the false flag 911 attacks the use of a nuclear bomb in Afghanistan would have not only been a monumental criminal action in its own right, but would have ruined the Afghan poppy fields.

  6. We are all luck we have not been nuked by USA ..with Bombers flying around carrying Nukes …The Russians save us from a Nuke war during Kennedy era

    Nuke the Arabs would only get them more fired up in a war that has been going on for 2000 yrs…we need to Nuke any one pushing Any religion

  7. I believe it was a mistake by the U.S. in not using nuclear weapons against Iraq and Afganistan in the initial invasion stages in those countries. Many lives of our military were lost and/or permanently disabled as well as those of our allied countries because we didn’t use all of America’s military arsenal to stop the evil Muslim leadership in those countries. The U.S. could have exterminated all radical Muslims in those countries as well as eliminating other radical Muslims, as in ISIS, who would fill the void. Now the empowerment has introduced another much more capable and determined evil player, Iran, no thanks to Obama the enabler. The best solution before Iran enables more radical extremist and terrorist Muslims to migrant into European countries and the U.S. our military should take a bold step in doing to Iran what they want to do to America but do it now before they have the nuclear capability. By unleashing our nuclear power now on Tehran, their military infrastructure, and all their nuclear facilities American could bring all the other extremist Muslim countries into thinking and knowing they could be the next country to feel the rath and determination of America’s military to the elimination of all Islamic terrorist and extremist Muslims who choose to force their believes on others.

  8. Umm We DID Nuke them you guys. Ever hear of depleted uranium? Shock & awe? Those flashes were thermite & nano particles of still radioactive uranium. The both countries are covered in the dust of this stuff & permanently contaminated. Soldiers who deployed into these areas breathed it in & are dying of cancer. Birth defects have soared in scope & number. It is still going on;another evil hazardous waste disposal scheme for PROFIT just like fluoride [you tube Dr. Bill Hirzy testifies before Congress] & coal ash chemtrails to control weather & keep us sick so they can sell more drugs.
