Of course Russia should be on the list. Personally, I'd also have EVERY other nation that has ICBM capability, to include Britain, France, etc.
Contingency planning does not say anything about who you plan to attack. It says what you plan to do if you are attacked by any given power. Makes sense to me.
Agreed, but the broadcast of this information (at this time) was a poor judgment call, IMHO. Look at the reverse, if Russia announced publicly she was re-aiming, fine-tuning, and fueling up her ICBM's to target American cities (just in case.)
I'm thinking this would go over like a turd in the punchbowl, here, huh? Ya think?
