That's quite possible.
I think if there was an exchange of nuclear weapons, the surface of their country would most likely be so radioactive, they'd have to spend their remaining days living underground in this massive city they built. Most of the population would be dead or dying; their ability to grow food would likewise be compromised. All in all, I think I may have mentioned it somewhere, life as they knew it pre-war, would be over as it would be for us as well.

Think 3rd party for 2024 folks. Clean up America.
Once I tell you that we agree to disagree there will be no more discussion between us in the thread so please don't waste your time continuing to argue your points because I will not respond.
The realists are those who allowed other countries to possess nuclear weapons in the first place and within decades, yes? One must allow the enemy to build such a weapon and become strong enough to in fact 'return the favor' before any 'creation' of a mutually assured destruction policy, yes?
Y'all have had to be saved throughout history, your policies in themselves are assured destruction. Never again.
Of course, I believe something quite different. Most people would not know the war occurred directly. Even here that is true. Go online and use one of the scenario creators. Scale up the size of a nuclear detonation on the nearest likely target just to see how big it would have to be before you noticed it.
In most places, the neutron-induced gamma activity hot spot might be a few hundred meters across. Rain water might carry some radioactive debris to eddy points that would be very dangerous.
Who am I kidding? Most people believe the movies.
Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.

Sounds more like "busy work". Why not just have a sub and deep sea divers bury one near a few major US ports with an ELF radio trigger? Can be set off by a satellite signal. Given the size, even if it was buried 3 miles offshore, it should certainly be able to destroy or irradiate the target.
Like the Neocons could prevent other nations from obtaining nuclear technology. You demonstrate that your ideology is hopelessly misguided with that statement.
Realpolitik is an intelligent way to manage foreign policy. And you can look up that old article from FT about what the world would look like today if Neocons were expelled from power.

You stood idle while other nations developed nuclear weapons and the ability to deliver them. Hopeless is what that was, forget the misguide part. Mutually assured destruction was, go ahead and build and threaten, be confident you'll be destroyed should you strike first. Correct?
Realists haven't shown intelligence managing foreign policy, in fact, you've been an utter disaster. I remember reading that article Peter, the reason the author was mentioning the world being different was to promote more of his ivory tower idiots into positions of power, it was a job resume, you're just not learned enough to know the difference between OP and analysis. Yet.Realpolitik is an intelligent way to manage foreign policy. And you can look up that old article from FT about what the world would look like today if Neocons were expelled from power.
And please try to remember.....Peter.....Neocons would have had to have 'power' for many more decades than you give them credit for in order to change the world. As well......you live today....in the most stable economy, peaceful existence, and higher standard of living than almost any human in history save for me....as I enjoy the same lifestyles and standards, I'm mush more highly aware and learned on our topics of conversation. Thus, I teach you.
