A very interesting short film on an Ohio Class Ballistic Missile Submarine with great footage aboard.

Below will be posted links that further explain the technologies.

None of this is classified and all is in the public realm.

Amazingly.

But that is how unstoppable and capable this deterrent is.

All well and good but it doesn’t seem as though we need to fear Russia or China for this very reason.

The guerilla warfare of terrorism cannot be fought with this type of weapon.

We may be like Great Britain trying to fight America in the Revolutionary War. They were using conventional techniques. We weren’t.

"The guerilla warfare of terrorism cannot be fought with this type of weapon."

So true.

That's why we have another fail-safe deterrent: 300+ million guns in private hands.

What kept us safe during the Cold War was that the Soviets knew we would retaliate in kind to a nuclear attack and that they could never locate and destroy all of our ICBM missile subs in any preemptive strike. The threat of mutual assured destruction kept any uneasy peace. However today we have potential nuclear armed enemies who are led by nut jobs (North Korea) or Islamic fanatics (Iran) who are not deterred by fear of our nuclear arsenal and who are increasingly convinced that a President like Obama would never use our nuclear weaponseven if they attacked us.

However, would even Obama allow US cities and military assets to burn without retaliation?

I believe he would.

And he wouldn't bat an eye.

You are correct sir. He would gladly and willingly accept nuclear strikes on American cities. What better way to kill off millions of patriotic Americans, than by enemy nucs?

The POS couldn’t stay in that bomb shelter under the White House forever. All the elites must think they won’t be affected by all this. They are pure Evil.

Exactly. These POSs think they are insulated from all the bad things that could happen. They are not. The peasants will be coming over the hill, with their pitch forks.

He has already destroyed our economy. Who thinks he does not want to destroy the rest of the US?
