    I don’t know if you wanna bomb DC. I like a lot of the monuments and museums there. Can you just gas it instead?

      They’re the only country with experience in burning the White House to the ground. Just let them do their job.

        It was the British and they didnt burn it to the ground so I’m not sure why people think thats what happened. It was a retaliation attack for the US fighting in Canada, sure. But they weren’t Canadian troops.

        They didnt burn it to the ground because the building burnt too fast for them to get the fire hot enough. The outer walls and bits inside were still standing. I believe the British even ate dinner in the house because the chef had prepared it for the president or something but I couldn’t find a source for that.

      Aside from the government parts, a lot of DC residents are at least non Republican voters, I suggest narrowing down the target area some.

        There are like 15 conservative/republican people in this entire city, and that’s only because there is one in the white house plus his crew. It’s definitely the bluest place imaginable, in the USA at least.

      A neutron device will suffice.

      Nice and sterilized of all the virulent filth infesting it now

      The people we wouldn’t like would scurry away from there the second things look bad, so no need to bomb it. Just have to hunt them down with boots on the ground really.
