I want to know what people think about this. I personally don't want to have to threaten nuclear attacks, but if it comes down to the survival of the nation as a superpower, I think we'll have to. Hypothetically the advanced arsenal could act like Great Britain's Navy or ancient Rome's legions, forcing the U,S,'s primacy upon other nations, rendering any war against us unwinnable. There are obviously flaws, as the article points out some of them. I just wanted to hear some different perspectives. |
ROFL. Hows that nuclear factor working out for the US in Iraq?
25,000 dead and wounded, billions upon billions lost, allies have lost respect for us, and enemies no longer fear us.
And no matter what, China and Russia still have their sights set on us because our leaders share your attitude that we SHOULD dominate the planet.
There is no way we can take out either countries entire nuclear weapons arsenal
