Again, Russia and China could dictate terms to a wounded USA standing naked without NATO backing.

Boy, you have a negative streak a mile wide.

First off, any bombs that went off in LA and New York would pretty much piss of to a point where nothing would be out of reach for us.

We would not call our troops back to help clean up, give me a break, we would set them loose upon the nuts that did it.

The military is useless in these situations at home, a natural disaster would be handled by National Guard troops Emergency management etc,they are trained for it.

2nd of all,, if we were actually weakened, the topper comes off the nuclear bottle and we tell Russia and China to chill out or get one down their chimney.

We have as much power as we want to display, whether we lose 10-100,000 citizens or not.

We are far from helpless, and your tomes of doom are not at all what would happen.

Do you claim to have expert knowledge on this?
