Though that might send a message to the aliens, if they nuked them, they would most likely kill every human being in the vicinity also. So its kind of a lose/lose situation.

That is the whole point - the aliens will experience loss too - not just us.

By not nuking the aliens, they have a 'win' and we have a 'loss'.

We lose nothing by nuking the aliens, in fact by nuking them we gain many things. The aliens will come know that there is a penalty for their actions and that they will be forced to pay it every time.

*I do hope that there are people in charge with the balls to nuke any aliens that pull this crap - no matter where they are pulling it over.

That is the whole point - the aliens will experience loss too - not just us.


I offer a one-up for your scenario: it's possible the nukes might not be any more effective than bows and arrow against tanks.

Even so...in the above scenario, I might choose to drop nukes anyway. Why? Because even if it doesn't hurt them directly, we would not be providing food for them. And if the premise is that we die either way, I would prefer to destroy humanity by my own hand than allow an alien race to do it.

One shoots ones own dog rather than allowing a stranger to do it.

Skyline Movie...a warning?


Jeez, I hope not. I was watching Toy Story last week. Imagine if it's a warning that toys have complicated private lives when we aren't looking?! Maybe Star Wars was a warning that gold robots are gay? The immensity of these warnings!

Probably the same kind of warning that was issued with the release of Earth vs. the Flying Saucers in 1956!
