Could our arsenal destroy Russia assuming;
1)The Russians/Chinese haven’t developed the technology to track/stalk our missile subs undetected and sink them before they can fire.
2) Assuming that with our subs lost, we have enough land based nukes to survive a 1st strike.
3) That if some of our land based nukes survive 1st strike, there are enough of them to severely damage Russia. WWII proved the Russian govt. and population are willing to absorb unthinkable casualties.
4) That our nukes would even work. As far as I know, our arsenal hasn’t been upgraded since whenever. They might not detonate and would just hit the target with a thud.
5) That obama would even order a retaliation. Considering how much he loathes this country, he may welcome a nuke attack against us as payback to whitey.
6) If he was willing to retaliate, would he survive long enough to order it? A Russian sub off the east coast could vaporize DC 5 minutes after launch if not sooner.
7) The Russians don’t have a suitcase nuke in DC that would obliterate the govt. and Pentagon before they launched a strike against the rest of the US.
You can track a submarine from space.
