That is literally why tactical nuclear weapons were invented.

And the president does not need approval to drop a nuke.

and where have they been used against people?

Ah, because a weapon hasn't been used against people yet, it can never be used against people in the future, right?

If they were so practical, they would be used in practice instead of things like MOABs. Do you think all the hubbub over nuclear weapons is just based on nothing? Russia has directly threatened using nukes themselves and yet haven't. Tell me, why do you think that is? Reality is on my side here, all you have to go by is "there is a possibility they could be used!!" but that's true for anything that exists.

Only an idiot would use a tactical nuke, but Trump is a huge fucking idiot. This is the guy who wanted to nuke a hurricane.

Again, israel would not allow it and this is all being done for their sake.

Because Donald Trump cares what others say he is "allowed" to do

Considering how pro-israel he is, actually yes.

He is more anti-muslim I would say.
