We have weapons capable of executing a first strike fully deployed.
They also have a National Missile Defense already, with not just the Moscow System of 200 interceptors around Moscow...but 8,800 SAM-300s around the periphery of the country. All NMD capable.
To say that the S-300 is NMD capable is to grant that same honorific to the PAC-3 Patriot. Do you?
Hence they kept the Strategic Framework Agmt secret from the public.
If it's secret, how do you know about it?
And you didn't give a straight answer about whether or not you work for a defense contractor.
False. Fully deployed? B'wahahahahahaha! And W eliminated our entire MX force. How many Minuteman IIIs have we got left Smart Guy? And what is their CEP and range after they were "upgraded"? Guess what, in both cases...those essentials went down after Xlinton's improvement program.
The Trident D-5 is the only possible first strike weapon...and we would need three times as many as we have to actually execute a first strike necessary to take on both the Russians, Chinese, Iran and Korea. And we have already forcibly dismantled four Trident submarines from SLBM carriers, converting them to mere tactical cruise missile carriers...and W is elminating another 4. Guess you don't know much about strategic targetting in nuclear planning either. You probably think we can get by with a couple hundred warheads and a mere launch-on-warning strategy (which, btw, we are not actually following...we are publically and officially in a "take it on the chin" policy. And as far as retaliatory capability, he is ignoring serious risks to the policy of stationing so many of SLBMs at home port, rather than constant deployment as we used to with Blue and Gold teams. And W cut our B-1B force in half...and parked them all in one base...just saying "hit us here."
They also have a National Missile Defense already, with not just the Moscow System of 200 interceptors around Moscow...but 8,800 SAM-300s around the periphery of the country. All NMD capable.
To say that the S-300 is NMD capable is to grant that same honorific to the PAC-3 Patriot. Do you?
They are not equally capable. The SAM-300 have a substantial number of nuclear warheads deployed in the field to maximize their NMD potential. The PAC-3s don't. Nor do they have the closing velocity of the SAM-300. But our PAC-3s are certainly a useful starting point technology for a terminal defense against the cruise missile and Ship-launched SCUD threat....but guess what.... They are not deployed for the homeland.
The U.S. home territory is almost completely wide open...except to the single axis of attack from North Korea.
Hence they kept the Strategic Framework Agmt secret from the public.
If it's secret, how do you know about it?
I am not going to hazard any officers. This is a perversion of our national security laws. Using them to muzzle the publication of knowledge of dire threats to the U.S. (first started by Xlinton, and now W), and insane commitments made by a CIC who could not care less about actually deploying a real NMD.
Disprove a single contention. I have postulated what it does in effect. You deny it. Clearly W ("The Man of his Word") has promised to keep our NMD limited to futility. The burden is on you to disprove it. Everything else checks out. You get a copy of the Strategic Framework Agreement. Go ahead. Try.
And you didn't give a straight answer about whether or not you work for a defense contractor.
First, it was an implicit insult, presuming first that if anybody were a defense industry type that they couldn't argue from anything other than a venal self interest, and don't value the country over the industry. This is an insult to all Americans, not just those who work in the defense of the country. Second, that kind of liberal inference is at base, symptomatic of Left-Wing-think. And this assault really shows where both of you are coming from. Just like liberals, you are projecting courrupt venality on everyone else. No shred of public or civic duty in either of your worlds.
Hence, I am not going to answer a question like that...especially to ones as malific as you guys.
Nor would you...who hides behind a pseudonym.
