    Another preposterous pile of BS .. I gave you a number of exampes .. so no need to rely on anyone's insistence. Which one did you disagree with - or is it you that is "full of it" once again projecting your failings onto others.

    Syria - Indonesia - El Salvador - Guatemala - Iraq - all examples of supporting oppression.

    El Salvador

    Is this your idea of freeing people from Gov't oppression ? -- dragging children over barbed wire "until the flesh hung from their bones" in front of their parents ?

    LOL .. denial of history - running around crying "Bull Bull Bull" .. is not an argument for much.

    Nor is your - cherry picking out the part of the post that shows your laughable claim is preposterously false - much of an argument. .

    Sorry to burst your fairy tale bubble mate .. but history is what it is.

    You think Russia would empty its arsenal on the US... ridiculous.

    You think Russia would want to decimate the US so that it could not take over the facilities, land, factories, etc... ridiculous.

    You think that every detonation would be a ground burst so that tons of radioactive material would become fallout affecting the entire earth (including Russia)... ridiculous.

    Do you have any idea of the three levels of casualties caused by a nuke? You sure don't seem to...

    You seem to have no clue at all about the difference between a ground burst and a high altitude burst... read up on it.

    You seem to think that preliminary strikes would be executed to give us warning... ridiculous. (The whole idea of using hypervelocity weapons is to have the nukes delivered so quickly that there is no warning... no reaction time at all).

    May I ask what your military experience is? Watching Rambo movies perhaps?

    All 6400 are not immediately usable.

    One wouldn't think that the ruling class would relish living like moles at best or hunted down wherever they pop up elsewhere.

    Wrong! China fought Soviet Union and Vietnam fought China:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Soviet_border_conflict

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Vietnamese_War

    This is semantical discussion - what is a true communism. Give me 2 communists and we will have 3 'true communism' definitions. Why? This is the humane nature. The same with Christianity, Judaism or Islam.
    What is the true Christianity - Protestant, Catholic or other? What is the true Judaism - Orthodox, Conservative or Reform? What is the true Islam - Sunni or Shiite?
    The problem are humans, not the system.

    Whats ridiculous - is you putting words in my mouth -- things I did not say.. You think Child molestation is a good thing -- Ridiculous.

    Did not say that .. "Ridiculous" you like putting words in the mouths of others.
    You think being sodomized at both ends is a good thing ? ... Ridiculous to put words in someone's mouth isn't it ?

    I alluded to two of them .. the third being obvious -- check reading comprehension perhaps. .. third being (the blast.) Second (direct radiation exposure from the blast and secondary /indirect radiation) and first being perhaps the largest cause of death - folks killing each other in the ensuing anarchy.

    So .. what other than the blast did I not mention ? Impress us with your cluefullness. The rest of your post being more moronic false accusations -- and nothing to defend your silly claim that a nuclear war is winnable .. or address any of the points I made.

    Your predisposition to gab about gay acts is disturbing.
    The three levels of casualty are "catastrophic" (instant), "delayed" (death takes about three days) and "latent letahlity" (death ensues in about two weeks"). When planning nuclear fires, these differences are important. Traditionally it takes two people to remove a casualty from the battle area. So if you delay death, it will remove assets (both people and transport) from the battle area. This could be important depending upon what your objectives are.

    Are we at war yet? When will Russia destroy us with nuclear hellfire for sanctioning Putin and his goons?

    You forgot the biggest one: one side thinks the other is weaker than they actually are, and thus the former miscalculates and strikes when they shouldn't.

    Didn't say they were .. you were the one that claimed the entire Soviet Arsenal would not wipe out the US .. reality being that they would not have to bring any out of storage to wipe out the US - the fact that you don't know this is laughable given - 10% would turn the US into a contaminated wasteland - from which recovery would take decades in best case senario - the entire continental US contaminated at around 200 blasts - ... 640 .. 3 times the number required.

    Your claim that 6400 would not do it >>>?????? Get over it mate .. Russia can wipe the US off the map .. and us them.. Neither US nor Russia reduced their arsenal by 80-90% - so they would not have the capability to annihilate each other. Do you really think that is what the US and Russia did ?

    Don't let these hypersonic glide vehicles keep you up at night - Sure we have no defense against them .. but we were undefended against a full scale attack by Russia anyway. Getting way to easy to attach each other with nukes .. Tactical nukes being the perhaps the most moronic .. not that we should not have a few for special purpose applications .. but never to attack Russia - or any other nuclear nation - or any non nuclear nation for that matter .. thus breaking the seal and setting precedent .. as the "Do as we say not as we do" policy so often goes .. and then backfires when others Do not do as we say .. and Do what we did.

    Short range nuclear cruise missiles launched from subs - (thanks to Russia violating the short/intermediate range treaty - cause we forced them to by destablilizing nuclear detente by violating the ABM treaty - then putting ABMs on Russia's border) - are the fastest way to attack en mass

    but hey .. least we don't have nukes in space yet ! which I know you are gunning for aye mate ! :) :machinegun::machinegun::chainsaw::chainsaw::cheerleader:

    I never said anything about the "entire Soviet arsenal". They would never use it ALL in one attack. So stop making stuff up. I never said "6400 wouldn't do it". Back away from the bong, take some deep breaths.
    We have many possible defenses by the way. From holdovers from "Star Wars" like "Golden Pebbles" to the recently refunded ABL to CHAMP. You really should kniw something about your subject matter before posting. In the interim, stick to what you know... gay rights and transgender issues.

    You are a liar.

    1) I never said anything about the "entire Russian arsenal.
    2) The US never violated the ABM Treaty. It withdrew from it as it was allowed to do after informing the Russians before hand as required.

    We have only one hope to solve this: somehow nukes must be made obsolete. Once a new weapon is developed...no, once it is used effectively in battle, there has been nothing to stop humanity from using it until it is made obsolete. So let's hope that whatever makes nukes obsolete is a defensive advancement akin to the castle.

    It's only the history of every weapon ever developed and used effectively. It's used by everyone until a new weapon, or defensive application, renders it obsolete. Humanity has never gotten together and said, "We aren't using this weapon anymore", with any effect.

    Air defense weapons are a good example of what you say. First came heat seeking or radar guided missiles. Then came "chaff" to confuse missile radars and heat dissipators to confuse heat seekers. Then came "Stinger RMP" with a Reprogrammable MicroProcessor to defeat the countermeasure and on and on. To that extent and lots of other examples you are correct.

    But nukes don't exist by those rules. A megaton on New York will kill folks in Baltimore. There will be no second chance.

    Actually it isn't simple "nukes" that are the threat. But nuclear warheads combined with ballistic missiles which have been extremely difficult to stop en masse for a long time.
