Agreed. No one has a clue. I don't think even our own military and clandestine services understand the growing threat. Everyone keeps asking what the October "surprise" is. This is it. The US will be facing down Iran and/or Russia. The voters will go for the current CiC, as they always do. Obama's little stunt with usurping Congress about immigration matters will be lost in the threat of a nuclear exchange.
Another clue that most Citizens don't get is that we are NOT the only super-power. Russia still has enough nuclear warheads to blow this planet apart. I have never understood why just because we have more warships and better equipped military, that we are supposedly safe and cut back. Hell, we can barely maintain those barbarians in Aftganiscrap.
Add Pakistan, India, France, Britain, somewhat China to the mix, and we are the only super-power? Really? Just how many nukes does it take to destroy the economy of a nation and bring commerce to a screeching halt? 1 in DC? 2 on separate coasts? 3 or 5 spread out around the US? And what about Iran or the Norks selling dirty bombs to our enemies?
On the up side - our Tridents that nobody knows where and when they are with their nuclear warheads give me a warm fuzzy feeling...haha. To remind you, if a nuke were to go off on American soil, it has a radioactive signature as to where it was built - even from Iran.
I agree with your comments and assertions. You’re right on target. Sadly...
“...On the up side - our Tridents that nobody knows where and when they are with their nuclear warheads give me a warm fuzzy feeling...”
Don’t get too fuzzy. Those missiles cannot be fired unless authorized by the POTUS. I highly doubt the POS we have right now would allow it; especially if the trail led to an islamic nation. This fruitcake would probably welcome it.
