You're just another fruitloop expecting to see hordes of long knifed muslims storming the beaches at Malibu. Keep your big government kneepads on...Just don't expect divine protection from it for your servicing it.
Those “cave dwellers” have hit us, in this country, not over there, more than once, and each time it is more daring and deadly.
Comparing the cold war to life with 21st Century terrorism is apples and oranges for one main reason, the one factor that completely changes the dynamic. The Russian/Soviet government and its people wanted to survive. That’s important to understand, it was the basis of Mutually Assured Destruction, the deterrence that for over 50 years kept things in check. Great expense and effort was made for communication and control on both sides to prevent a nuclear war. Despite the hardware and grandiose plans, neither side truly considered these weapons as anything but defensive.
Our enemy now has no such inhibitions.
One last thing. I have mention 19th and 20th Century thought, and you display it very well. It’s not the Muslims storming beaches with scimitars that worries me for you are right, they currently do not have the means. It’s that radical looking for allah’s virgins with that suitcase nuke outside Richmond, DC or your home town that changes my attitude. They don't need a navy or air force when American Airlines will do.
A too quick look at your post would wrongly suggest that you are supporting a man instead of a trade-obsessed neo-Neville Chamberlain mouse.
If long-knifed Muslims stormed the beaches at Malibu, it would probably be a social improvement over Muffy and Skipper. They should avoid inland California and "redstate" America where the guns are.
I cannot imagine how slaughtering America's islamofascist enemies amounts to fearing them. Another paleodelusion no doubt. I also cannot imagine how the paleowhatevers think that their candidate paleoPaulie and so many of their paleoselves assuming the Monica position toward the islamofascisti is somehow useful compared to slaughtering the SOBs where they live in major clusters in the Middle East rather than in my backyard or yours. Preventive attacks make more sense than mere retaliation after the fact. Regrettably we let Muhammed El Kaboomski strike the WTC and Pentagon first. We ought not make that mistake again.
