a nuke first strike on russia and china is the ticket!
yessir, and nevermind those russian and chinese missiles are underground, and our first strike missiles would put megatons of radioactive dirt into the air… just nevermind that, because the nuke fimbulwinter will shade the planet for at least four or five years, and that will be the end of all the exxon/AEI bullshit denying global warming.
from the council on foreign relations foreign affairs March/April 2006…
“the sort of missile defenses that the United States might plausibly deploy would be valuable primarily in an offensive context, not a defensive one — as an adjunct to a U.S. first-strike capability, not as a standalone shield. If the United States launched a nuclear attack against Russia (or China), the targeted country would be left with a tiny surviving arsenal — if any at all.
At that point, even a relatively modest or inefficient missile-defense system might well be enough to protect against any retaliatory strikes, because the devastated enemy would have so few warheads and decoys left.”
