Understatement.

A couple of well placed bombs in 12 ( are there that many ) electronic chip factories would end civilization in its current form.

Just 50% or less of the oil wells being destroyed would do it to

So here is a twist in the plot, tensions are very high,  we anticipate some time of serious response from Russia, we see one ICBM inbound to US soil or make it 3. detonation estimated in 20 minutes, we know the impact point is in the US on a city (s)

Do we assume that is the only one or 3 or is it possible all the others are blocked by sensor jamming and we just don’t see them but they are there. If they have employed some type of sensor block, and we don’t launch full scale, we lose the ability to retaliate and issue launch orders to our subs.

Do we bet on the come?
What does poopy pants do.

Because Vandenburg has announced an ICBM launch to show our resolve ( this is real world happening now, not part of this thought exercise, we are kicking it up a notch. )

I see no point in traveling to other planets any time soon.   Any problem we caused on this planet will replicate in theme at least every other place we go.  We need to fix ourselves not run from the scene of our latest fuckup.

In a billion years the sun will run out of stuff lighter than Iron to fuse and it'll go all red giant or whatever and eat the earth.  In a billion years it won't matter.  We won't still be here or likely anywhere.

That podcast is worth the watch, they spent a bunch of time talking about authoritative institutions as well and how they can't be trusted.

Whales are perfect keto food.

But you can’t eat them if you nuke them, it’s like a rule or something.

ETA: I may or may not have shwoopemhausened down on some whales on the surface and scared the living shit out of them, then waited for them to surface and did it again. Maybe more than once.

What's your plan for Grand Army of the Repaublic highway?

The question is, could you disguise it enough so it doesn’t scream camouflaged missile launcher? I mean you can run 53’ four axle trailers with four axle trucks for 105500, but what would a missile and launcher weigh? Then what about support personal?

I wouldn't mind driving all of it. what I've seen was fun.
but what does this have to do with a effective conus land based deterrent icbm system?

Quoted:


it would have to be concealed by a normal looking body until right before use. the missile tech would need to be smaller than midgetman and it'd be single warhead. 2 man launch control one in the sleeper one at a control panel in the trailer. have a motor home accompanying the system for crew rest

abm vs drone is like using a javelin to kill a suicide bomber.  very expensive kill if you even could.
Moscow abm is for taking out incoming icbm warheads likely using small enhanced radiation nukes. not something like a big model airplane.

assuming it's 50% effective you'll need to throw alot of nukes at Moscow alone to do the job

Nuclear war is the 'inevitable' conclusion of the Ukrainian invasion, warns Russian general who wrote the nation's 'war bible'


https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2023/09/05/11/75073723-12482085-image-m-36_1693910523611.jpg

Retired Major General Alexander Vladimirov, who penned Russia's three volume book called the 'General Theory of War'.

'For the transition to the use of weapons of mass destruction, only one thing is needed - a political decision by the Supreme Commander-in-Chief [Vladimir Putin],' the veteran commander warned in an interview with journalist Vladislav Shurygin.



'The goals of Russia and the goals of the West are their survival and historical eternity.

'And this means that in the name of this, all means of armed struggle available to them will be used, including such a tool as their nuclear weapons.'

He warned: 'I am sure that nuclear weapons will be used in this war - inevitably, and from this neither we nor the enemy have anywhere to go.



'The sooner our politicians and leadership realize this, the sooner we start to train troops and the population for this - the more chances we will have for survival, which means victory.'

In Vladimirov's 2013 book, the retired Major General argues that there has been a transition from the traditional theory of war - where there was a distinction between peace and war - to a permanent state of war which is characterized by constant fear and insecurity.

During his interview, Vladimirov, 78, said training of troops was vital so they have the 'ability to wage war under the conditions of the use of weapons of mass destruction'.

His book has key lessons for Russians, he said.

'If you want peace - fight until you win,' he said. 'If you want a long and strong peace, bury the hatchet on the territory of the enemy along with him.

'So, we need to be prepared. Prepare the Army, the State, the Economy and the population of the country.'

While it may not be formulaic, radiation intensity is inversely proportional with the duration. So for X radioactive material, you can either have a long time or a fun time. If it's really bad, it doesn't last long. If it's really long it's not that bad. Fallout goes away pretty quick, failed reactors or spent fuel pools have the mass to stay a problem for a while.
