Yes, we're beyond broke.

There are some groups of people who wish our death, regardless of anything
we do or don't do. Nuke em back might not be a sufficient deterrant.

Exactly. *How well did ignoring Hitler, the Japanese

And with the WMDs of today, ignoring what goes on in the
rest of the world is simply reckless. *As for nuking them back, how
about a country like North Korea? *They already have missles that

US military action as being done out of revenge, yet that is
exactly what is being proposed here, instead of preventing

The wars with Japan and Al Qaeda were started by the USA. As will be
the open war with Iran.
The USA needs perpetual war to further enrich it's wealthy
kleptocrats.
Now you have pulled out of/buggered up Iraq, a new war is needed.
