Followed shortly by the nuclear annihilation of the USA, which is what we will deserve for voting Biden, if we don’t already deserve it for many of our other votes of the last 50 years.
I suppose in his typical fashion, he won't even require any reciprocal actions from the russkies or the chicoms?
Six boats. That's pitiful. The UK has four Vanguard-class SSBNs, and France has four Triomphant-class SSBNs.
I don’t actually think Biden, when elected, is going to do anything other than resign from office post haste. I keep reading, Biden is going to do this and that, but it’s all a laughable joke.
Biden would rubber stamp into law anything Schmucker and Policy hand him.
Guess I'm out of touch. I thought our secretive nuclear equipped Tridents that cruise around the world was our first line of nuclear deterrent. I thought land based ICBM's were becoming obsolete. As for high level bombers, there are so many ground to air missiles that supposedly can take them down.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
” faster, more combat-ready, and more responsive than strategic bombers and missile submarines”
Nothing is more reliable, or FASTER than a Trident D5 sitting 1,000 miles away. Nothing.
And bombers are far more responsive than any missile as you can call them back.
The author’s hyperbole got in the way of an otherwise good article.
Joey will insist they test a few on the US .
Relax, Biden will contract the job out to China (with a handsome payout to Hunter Biden for handling the paperwork). Nothing to worry about. /s
Single warhead ICBMs are a Russian warhead sponge. It takes two warheads to take out each ICBM silo and ICBM command center, 800-1000 russian warheads, which leaves the US in the numerical superiority after a first strike given the treaty enforced equality of 1550 warheads and bombers.
ICBMs are not necessarily on a hair trigger since a russian first strike would not leave the US in an inferior position with remaining weapons, but actually a somewhat superior position numerically, even if it went perfectly which is no guarantee. If the Russians can’t strike first and disarm or significantly reduce our retaliation then there is deterrence.
Get rid of the ICBMs and we will have 800 warheads that will be freed up for the russians to retarget, plus that would have required a HUGE massive attack on the mainland US to even hope to be successful that can then be focused on SSBNs and Bombers. Two bases each plus those bombers subs deployed which is only half the inventory (ICBMs are 98 percent ON LINE) and hiding at sea which can have issues with Anti Sub Warfare and Anti air defenses... The idea with a “Triad” is that no technological advance can make all three vulnerable at the same time.
God these liberals are stupid and it may be our demise.
We had the same ilk back in the 1970s, 80s, and 90s.
The left will double down on globalism and exporting all jobs and everything bad for this country. If Trump loses then Americans deserve it. They know wth is going on with illegals, exporting of jobs, and globalism in general. Yet they want some establishment crook in office? then what can be done.
Bidens first payoff to the Chinese.

Actually, Harris will auction all US military equipment from ships to planes, from tanks to rifles to pay for the Green New Deal and all the costs associated with Open Borders and free stuff for all comers.
The whole concept of “minimum deterrence” is flawed.
Why in gods world would you want the absolute minimum, on the very edge of NOT deterring? Wouldn’t that ENCOURAGE our enemies to cheat/lie/seek advantage to break the point where deterrence fails?
It denies the advancement of technology and weapon development, assuming we are at the advantage.
All while the russians have deployed their first generation of hypersonic thermonuclear weapons,,,, while we catch up.
“Bidens first payoff to the Chinese.”
And Russia, and iran, and north korea, and....
We might be surprised. He might demand a healthy piece of the action before signing them away.
