Retired Air Force Lt. General Thomas McInerney said on Hannity that it would be no big deal if there’s a nuclear war, because most of the dead would be North Koreans. I’m sure South Korea, Japan, and China are glad to hear that. > **[Fox analyst: Millions will die in nuclear attack, but don’t worry, ‘they’ll...](https://deadstate.org/fox-analyst-millions-will-die-in-nuclear-attack-but-dont-worry-theyll-be-mostly-north-koreans/)** > > In an appearance on Sean Hannity's radio show, retired Air Force Lt. General Thomas McInerney reassured listeners that in the event of a nuclear attack on North Korea, the people of the hermit kingdom would be the ones who suffer the most casualties. ---

But Japan is watching this (as I’m sure South Korea must be as well) and this is proving everything that the right wing nationalists in that country (and even the lefties) have been saying for years, which is that the United States “umbrella” isn’t real. It’s just an illusion. If this becomes the consensus opinion, then we might see Tokyo start more aggressively demanding a ‘realignment’ of US military forces. ---

If we launch nukes in response to a conventional attack, we’ll be the worst villains of the 21st century so far. ---

From that, even odder… _On September 6, 2016, along with 87 other retired US generals and admirals, he endorsed Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump._ Whilst respecting their service, I dunno why the endorsement of 100 ex-generals or a 100 CEOs should weigh heavier than that of a 100 ex-mailmen or 100 child nursery assistants. And no, high office does not imply greater knowledge. ---
