So will they - that’s the point of their build up - and the time will be less than 15 minutes as both will have boomers.

Lets see:

USA: 334 Million / 2 = 167 Million

A nuke exchange was also the topic during the Nixon’s 1972 meeting with Mao who told him essentially the same thing: after we are still a big country, while you are reduced to a small state; we can afford it, you cannot.
