#5 Given it won't be a barrage, but a handful at best, with limited ability in targeting, their most likely targets will probably be Big Blue metro areas. Karma is a bitch.

#6 The blue cities will be able to defend themselves with an impenetrable barrier made of print-outs of editorials making fun of RWR's "Star Wars" plan.

#7 Whoah buddy, can't launch nukes without turning in, in triplicate, an environmental impact study, with consideration of Native American relics, to the EPA. In the meantime the Sierra Club will be reviewing how green your ICBM systems are.

#8 The only reason cold war era strategic bombers (BUFFs) are still in use is because of rotational maintenance and active mission duty.
When has anybody fired a ICBM, other than TV art?
StarWars was an offensive economic depletion strategy. Not a defense.

#9 Does anybody really believe the Russian push into the Crimea is strictly about the composition of population demographic? The region should be stabilized as Russian just about in time for Russia to reassert itself as, perhaps, the only dominant space power.

#10 In this Age of OWG-NWO = future Space Govt-Order, Global Prompt Strike, Orbital Strike, StarStrike, + Space Defense, etc, the best methods remain either preemptive strike, or in alterna hitting 'em at their missle platforms i.e. point-of-launch.

As things stand at present, unless something changes the US can defend itself only in mid-phase or post-mid-phase flight after an Enemy ICBM, etc. has already effectively or successfully launched.

The above being said, IRAN = US' CO-SUPERPOWER SIBLING + BFF IN THE ME + GULF, WHILE NOKOR = NEEDS NUKES TO DETER PEACETIME ANDOR WARTIME CHINESE TAKEOVER OF THEIR COUNTRY FOR ANY REASON. + HENCE TO FOSTER OR ENABLE DE FACTO INTER-KOREAN REUNIFICATION, AKA "CHANGING THE STATUS QUO" IN NE ASIA.

Again, Russia + China + Iran, etc, cannot rise to OWG Globalist desired "US-style", "Nuclear", Co-Superpower Sibling-hood unless the US per se voluntarily or unilaterally falls back across the World giving up its Cold War + post-Cold War, post-9-11 power-n-influence to the former.

* PROBLEM/FUBAR = GLOBIES HAVE NOT YET ANSWERED HOW MUCH IS "TOO MUCH", OR HOW FAR IS "TOO FAR", FOR THE SUPERPOWER US TO GIVE UP TO ITS NEWFOUND CO-SUPERPOWER SIBLINGS OR OTHER, + WIDOUT BEING EXISTENTIALLY THREATENED.

Lest we fergit, the "American Dream" is now the "North American Dream", where among other MEXICO + CANADA + GREENLAND NOW HAVE A DIRECT/ACTIVE ROLE IN US DEFENSE + NATIONAL, GEOPOL SECURITY, i.e. in stopping any + all Enemy ICBMS from reaching CONUS-NORAM soil.

* FYI WORLD MILITAY FORUM > US NAVAL INTELLIFENCE [USONI] REPORT: CHINESE NAVY WILL ENTER THE EASTERN PACIFIC [EASTPAC] IN FIVE YEARS [2020]. CHINESE ADMIRAL ADMITS THE PLAN HAS FOUR STRATEGIC MISSLE NUCLEAR SUMARINES CAPABLE OF STRIKING THE US FROM HAWAIIAN OR EAST ASIAN WATERS.

* SAME > EX-NANJING MILITARY COMMANDER: RECOVERY OF TAIWAN IS ESSENTIAL IN ANY EAST ASIA WAR INVOLVING CHINA East, South China Seas, Koreas]AGAINST ITS NEIGHBORS ANDOR THE US. CHINA MUST PREPARE CONTINGENCY PLANS IN CASE OF ECONOMY, ISLAMIST-LED RUSSIA COLLAPSE.

Again, the USDOD must have felt a heavy sigh of relief on news of the delay of the Chuuk independence vote from the FSM, as per seeing "We want 1/2 of the Pacific by 2020" China + PLAN getting into Chuuk/Truk Lagoon = Japan's WW2 CENTPAC HQ. = behind Guam + "too close" to Kawajalein + Ulithi Lagoons.
