Putin withdraws from Nuclear arms treaty......Game on

[airplanemechanic]

Russia is a Paper Tiger. So what.

You do realize this "paper target" can wipe out 180 million American lives in 30 minutes?

Assuming their ICBM's work.

They have thousands of them. If even half of them work we're done.

 

[Pilot1]

The Russians can't use their nukes. They depend on western oil and natural gas sales for ALL their revenue.

 

[iceberg]

Time to build an orbital launch station and weaponized satellites, as we know damn well they will.

Oh shit, that's right. They are still our taxi up.


Never mind...

who needs nukes - just make some God Rods and drop them from space.

Changes nothing.
They aren't ready for MAD anymore than we are.
In a conventional war we'll clean their clocks and they know it.
They go nuclear in the face of defeat and they know we will as well.
They can recover from conventional warfare. Nuclear? Not so much.
They know better than to enter open warfare with the US,it'll never end well for the Russians.

We won't survive a nuclear exchange. There is a real chance they will. Russia is HUGE.

i don't think "survive" is a good word to use when it comes to nukes. even surviving is just dying slowly.

The vast majority of Russia is frozen tundra with no growing season to speak of.
They have the same problem as china...the inability to feed their troops or the people who would be manufacturing their military equipment.
The US has a huge advantage when it comes to manufacturing and food production.

If you dont think Russia has food stored in Siberia to survive a nuclear exchange you're nuts.

All of our food would be contaminated. Like I said, we have no where to run to. They do.

Well the theory with Nukes is Mutually Assured Destruction. Except for a complete madman, or terrorist, a leader of Russia wouldn't launch nukes at the U.S. because we wo do worse to them. So you'd have mass destruction of both countries. Nobody wants that.

until a few nukes land in the heartland and all of our food growing regions glow in the dark.
