The problem of nuclear weapons is that once first and second strike capabilities are achieved, raw numbers become meaningless. Having a capacity to obliterate the enemy multiple times over is no true strategic advantage, neither militarily nor politically. You can only kill an enemy one time.
What is needed is a defense that renders nuclear weapons obsolete. More missiles merely perpetuates the same madness, and arms limitation treaties are an absurdity by definition.
"What is needed is a defense that renders nuclear weapons obsolete"
As I seem to remember, we had a president that supported this idea.
I'm not sure the 1550 limit on Strategic Deployed Weapons is sufficient to destroy anybody multiple times over, if you consider the enemy also has that many deployed weapons, or many many more which is almost certainly the case.
Did you know that Moscow in the late 80s was targeted by almost 450 weapons (US & Brits) because of the missile defense system (adding over 200 more weapons).
Or every major bridge in New York City was targeted with two 2 megaton weapons delivered by ICBM.
Overkill?
You think?
Lot of disinformation out there, probably more so here than anywhere.
See, MIRVed ICBMs are acceptable for the Russians and Chinese because "They would use them the right way" but unacceptable for the United States, who, presumably, wouldn't.
I guess Pavel is right because we have zero MIRVed ICBMs. And even destroyed the BUS on which we could re-arm them with three warheads like they used to have.
Now if they could do something about those pesky Trident SLBMs which are now limited to six warheads instead of the fourteen they could carry.
We should pay attention to Dr. Pry, even act on his recommendations.
Especially in regard to EMP, potentially from many sources other than foreign military.
We should also pay attention to the defectors from both Russia/China, but no, we are "So much smarter than they are."
One thing you to admire about the Communists, they sure as hell know how to stick to a plan.
Most Americans don't want war with the average Chinese citizen, average North Korean, Russian citizen.
Most countries are led by traitors who are taking orders from who knows who.
On gettrr, I have tons of Chinese who HATE commies.
The Rothschilds have been starting wars whereby people who would probably enjoy each other immensely ard killing each other.
