Give me break. America has the muscle to incinerate anyone but we just had “peace talks” with the Taliban. The virus itself,like Islam, will cut America by a 1000 cuts. The enemy knows it doesn’t take an overwhelming firepower and military capability to kill us. If America is floundering like a dead fish,the military will die with the fish.
The Russian Strategic Rocket Force survived the fall of the USSR almost fully intact. I wouldn’t count on the fall of a heavily nuked up country to just lose control or ability to destroy the world.
