Perhaps, everyone's vision is different Max. We clash, but you know what is going on. I admire that. Stay safe. I say that now because one day quite soon I believe it will not be so easy to log on and talk shit.
I do know that 300 is insufficient, Thunderpussy--> Gayfly--> brASS. But it's really none of your business.

Ya, I saw that. That's disastrous, imo. Who knows how the START treaty is enforced? Is there room to cheat? Probably. Even still, 300 isn't a credible deterrent. Not unless the military has better toys they're not telling us about (which I'm sure they do). I agree with Max - the world is fucked up and there's enough nukes to light up the planet, 50 times over. The unfortunate nature of our reality is we need them to keep the peace. Ron Paul isn't the dove you think he is. He's a big supporter of SSBN's and has said we should build more of them.
I never understood that myself. How is a defensive device considered an offensive weapon by anyone? You like to speak in riddles. Is a fence that keeps out intruders defensive or offensive?
The thinking is that your opponent (with the shield) can launch a first strike, and (with the shield) defeat your retaliatory strike. Since there's no longer a threat of MAD, the shield gives the country with it a "go" on attacking.
Too bad you weren't born 60 years ago. You would have been a a strategic defense genius. Now you're just another insane person.
Roughly half of the triad is Trident SLBMs on Ohio Class SSBNs, and they're great, but we still need to maintain the other two legs. Obama has a dream of eliminating nukes altogether. Maybe he's trying to cram that down our throats like Obamacare.
