Welcome Noob!
Anyways, the Mooselimb pretender is setting us up with a bolt from the blue, sunday knock out punch. Hopefully, we can get some patriots to get rid of this guy come Novemeber, else, this treasonous behavior will get us all killed. The entire nuclear arsenal is for deterrance, and to still have nuclear weapons left after having to use them to deter further aggression.
Looks like we will fight the next nuclear war as counter-value targeting (cities) rather than counter-target (silos, sub piers, bomber bases, nuke storage) locations.
absolutely
those who have never been involved in targeting do NOT realize how many (many) warheads must be figured for use against hardened targets (military and national C4) to give a reasonable probability of neutralizing them
attacking Russian Chinese or Iranian nuke silos, roaming subs, mobile launchers and underground bunkers is not the piece of cake like attacking an undefended city like Hiroshima
Fewer weapons means our real target options are pretty much going to be civilian and strategic civilian infrastructure (coms, energy, C4 where we can find critical nodes not hardened)
Next comes the question of national will
if they threaten to attack (or preemptively) attack our military, nuke sites or nuke platforms, even our pipelines or target our computers and electronics - oR THOSE OF AN ALLY - does president obama have the “will” to retaliate against their cities?
What do ya’ll think????
