#1 this is b'cause the powers that be want desperately to keep the anti nuke squirrels off their backs.

Which misses the whole point of the anti-nuke exercise render the U.S. incapable of seriously threatening the existance of other world leaders.

Conventional strike has ppl like Tov. Putin and the Peking gang scared silly-- we can decapitate, punch out silos, etc, in an hour or less w/o crossing the nuclear threshold. Nobody else has anything close to that capability. Even terrorists/spies/freedumb fighters/etc. have long lead times, and are a one-shot with lower reliability.

These guys have the mental image of a JDAM on top of an icbm or slbm. Pinpoint accuracy plus less than 30 mins warning time. Add in the mental image of Saddam hanging 10, and it is flop sweat tiem!!

This is the same reason they were scared silly of the Pershing II-- the leadership had 18 mins from launch to get out of the kill zone, and they knew they couldn't react that quickly.

#2 Well that's all nice, but why don't we build some secret 16/70 MK11Teen guns to back this up? Throw some steath shit on 'em, mount 'em high speed electrified railsroads, hell yeah! 2 thousands lbs. of armour piecer Wily Pete could solve all kinda problems. I guess we might need assault railroads tho... this is where we must be Frank and start building the bridges now.
