That's why they call it M.A.D [/quote] Well the point of MAD is that even if the first strike takes away most of the adversary's nukes the remaining stuff is enough to destroy the other side many times over. The first strike would need to destroy all the nuclear missile subs too. It can't done at the moment. Part of the MAD was anti ballistic missile treaty -- GWBush withdrew America from that in 2003 ... Putin's new nuke systems are a response to putting antimissile installations on Russia's borders [/quote]

Over the years I've read military strategy that insists it would billions to one for a foreign power to actually be able to hit US soil in real time. The missile or whatever would be destroyed before it hit.
But is that really true? Those of you who know, what do you think?
Are any other boomers 60 plus being triggered back to the sixties with this stuff?
I think the whole Iron Curtain scare must have affected me as a child. I started having flashbacks to those TV reports we used to see on the news in the 1960s. My anxiety is through the roof. I'm pacing and raging.
