nobody can prepare to win a nuclear war. Rubbish! You have just ceded them Communist Goal #2
"2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war."
The only to "win" a nuclear war is to convince your adversary that you ARE willing to "play the game". It's called MAD if you recall and it worked for over fifty years. The bad news is it only works if you are dealing with a rational opponent (which leaves Iran a wild card!)

PS We need to make it crystal clear to the ChiComs that ANY attack on our space based defensive systems will be considered an act of war and will result with a full blown nuclear response on their homeland and assets deployed on and under the sea. They need to worry about that for a bit lest they get cocky.
