Well, that’s one of the most incredibly dumbest things I’ve ever heard. What constitutes them being threatened? They damn sure know that any nuclear detonation is going to result in a response in kind.

You sure about that?

Has Clinton's doctrine -- which changed our posture so that we would absorb a first strike without retaliating -- ever been rescinded?

Please spare me any Cowboy George huff-n-puff-n bravado about how he'd never let that go on, nosireebobonwheels.

Thanks.

Might or might not. Depends on a lot of factors such as whether anybody cares if Grozny is nuked by Moscow.
