They're not gonna fire a nuke at America. Even if they tried it wouldn't make it.
As a general principle, I agree with that. The only caveat is that Mr. Ronery is a bloody whackjob. That said, I'm not sure that his lieutenants would be nutty enough to go through with it even if he is. Insanity is not particularly infectious, though the 9mm brain hemorrhage is surprisingly virulent on occasion.

Agreed. As I said, our ABM capability is still pretty marginal in all likelihood, but it is not entirely flacid either. I am pretty damn sure we can splash a random 1960s era ICBM if we really needed to. I fully expect that we have Aegis assets sitting offshore that know a thing or two about ballistic missiles.
