    We have avoided nuclear. But we have made preemptive attacks when we thought needed.

    It already has. Twice. In 1945.

    I am confused. Didn't Hiroshima and Nagasaki occur AFTER Japan bombed Honolulu?

    Indeed they did, but PH was not the end of the Japanese threat, the war or deadly attacks on US forces. 

    In the current world, I don’t think we will see another such strike, but having Caligula in the WH doesn’t inspire much confidence that it can’t happen,

    Thank you for your reply Walt. Apologies for being so ignorant but what did Hiroshima and Nagasaki pre-empt?
