Fact is he stopped missile defense when we know now that Iron Dome stopped thousands of warheads.

If tiny Israel can do it, we could be completely immune from nuke strike.

But nooo cant have that with evil democrats.

Well, they are not going to wait for us to build iron dome. We are going to get nuked.

The Earth is not going to die even if hit with 50000 nukes.

Are you smoking dope? I did not say the Earth would die. The point I made is that if many thousands of nukes were unleashed on us, we Americans would die. We would not survive a strike of 10,000 nukes (at one time the Soviets had more than that arrayed against us). The point our Freeper friend Alter Kaker made is that only a few hundred would make it hell for us.

The Earth will always go on, for a long time after we're gone. Go back and read what we posted.

If the Russians shoot first and we wait for the first wave to detonate before replying, we’re going to be at a severe disadvantage.

You are full of misinformation. Iron dome has intercepted hundreds of rockets, and not all of them. Some got through. I'm not knocking Star Wars type missile defense, it's a proven technology. However, we need to be real about this. They types of rockets that Israel has intercepted are inferior in capability as compared to what the Russians, Chinese and others can send our way. MIRV missiles can not only scatter multiple independent guided warheads after a single rocket launch, but they can also send out multiple dummy warheads and chafe to fool a missile defense. Remember that Iron Dome rockets only have a single warhead to rebuff an attacking missile. Throw a smart missile at it and Iron Dome may have problems.

Because our current Resident is a traitor who LOATHES American superiority. His stated goal has been to take our nuclear arsenal to ZERO. He even toured the Ruskies through our facilities.

Our side has been cut back by someone who has stated that it is impossible to “win” any war.

This is what being more flexible after re-election means.

Just as a matter of academic interest, how many nukes would it take to cover every, single, square inch of the planet in nuclear fire?

They are deployed in different areas.

But Obama is part of the "Zero" dream to reduce nuclear arsenals to ZERO. His on board but the Russians, North Koreans, Iranians, Pakistanis, et al are not.

Welcome Neighbor.

We live south about 20 miles....all flat terrain. When I lived in Cal, I was able to see the glow of lights from the bunkers at the Concord Naval Weapons Station. I used to be a bit uneasy about that but figured, I'd never know what happened.

Perhaps, but what about their allies, and the missles they distroy before even launching?

The Truth is if the Russian Navy is even halfway effective We won’t be able to launch a great many of them warheads.

The same is true vice versa, of course if Obama stays in office the point is moot as we probably wont be able to launch any of them until Washington D.C. is distoroyed along with Obama.

That is indeed probably the biggest popular delusion about nuclear weapons. Theses Bombs simply aren’t as big and devastating as we have come to imagine them over the years. One of them could take out the heart of a city but most of a modern cities along with most of the population would likely survive.

“If the Russians shoot first and we wait for the first wave to detonate before replying, we’re going to be at a severe disadvantage.”

If we have a leftist political hack like Obama in office we are going to be at a severe disadvantage until he is killed. Then we will still be at a severe Disadvantage because so much was lost before he was killed.

Even before the first bomb’s fell he gutted the military and turned it into a bunch of sodomite bunkers were no man is safe. A man is 1000 times more likely to be raped in the military than anywhere else post Obama.

Who want’s to serve in a unit like that, i sure wouldn’t. Due to Obama and his army of sodomites this country is as screwed as its poor men in the military. This is not only true because we can’t defend ourselfs its also because we can’t/wont perpetuate ourselfs. Instead Obama swings the cultural and demographic doors wide open to foreign invasion and replacement with poor Central American clutre mixed Democratic politics of Radical hate and envy.

America is dying under Obama, and our land will be torn asunder its only a matter of time. If the Russians nuke us, that might actually give us the means towards a revival by riding us of much of the urban political demographics that is strangling us.

Maybe in the end like Sodom and Gomorrah that is God’s plan for America going forward. Only instead of Ash & fire stones from a nearby eruption it will be Russian nuclear fires.

Not all will get through. And with lasers and espionage and covert in place agents you need more than the minimum. Additionally you have more, you can use the fear of overwhelming power to keep the lesser powers in check.
