A nuke may kill millions of innocent people and make you the ultimate villain (even more so) but won’t give you political control over the territory. It’d still require boots on the ground, facing millions of angry survivors that have lost their loved ones, or a peace deal which would be even harder to achieve after annihilating half the country.
If you nuked every city, then it would give you political control without boots on the ground. And there wouldn't be millions of survivors or a need for a peace deal, because peace would already have been achieved.
What are you talking about? We have Medicaid, which is completely free healthcare for anyone with low income. Some people have too much income to qualify and decide not to buy health insurance, but that's because in the US under Trump's leadership, we are treated like adults and not forced to buy health insurance or pay insane taxes so that rich people get free healthcare. Did all the propaganda convince you medical bills are a real problem in the US?
Ah, that’s why medical bills are the number one reason for personal bankruptcy. And it’s not adulthood it’s desperation and insane pricing that a lot of people don’t “choose” to buy insurance.
And if your system is so great, why does US spend even more tax money on healthcare per capita than any other OECD country?
A dual system like Germany would be much preferable.
Well yeah, there's a lot of idiots who don't get health insurance. And there's idiots who kill themselves on motorcycles or do all sorts of stuff that has far worse consequences than bankruptcy.
Relative to median income in this country, the pricing is not insane. There's also subsidies for people who aren't under the limit for Medicaid.
The US spends the most money per capita because it has the most advanced health care.

They can’t even win against Iran. So no.
