Nuclear War

[DataCruncher]

No it wouldn't especially with low yields of the time.But the US totally outgunned the soviets throughout the early 50s and a nuclear conflict would have been very winnable. B36's based in UK and / or alaska could have easily reached deep into soviet territory. How many would have to be dropped to force a surrender? At that time when ussr would be lucky to get just 1 delivered, probably not many. 5?,10?
Ike thought it was a good idea.

Re: "How many would have to be dropped to force a surrender?"

Not splitting hairs or arguing with you, but can't help but to pause, think, reflect.
Just like a game, there is a winner and a loser.
So why must it get to the point where years of building, raising, improving et al have to be damaged or destroyed in order to 'make' a winner?
It's just so wasteful and backwards. Worst of all, we pay for it, in so many ways, and I can't stress that enough.

Look at any sport, my favorites being MMA and BKF.
They are highly trained and brutal upon one another, but know where and when to stop the aggression.
If not, the well trained and certified ref will step in.
And dollars to donuts, that isn't the U.N. as they are useless collaborators behind the scene.

So in full display, we have out of control psychopaths (running the world) who are willing to risk everything and everyone for their gain and pride.
Is that not crazy, because I really think it is.

Maybe we would should be mandating tests for psychopathy - before anyone is seated into such positions.
We'd all be better off, safer, richer, ... no?

When there is a will, there is a way.
NO is a powerful word.
United we stand, divided we fall.

Sadly, this will go nowhere.

And that is exactly what Eisenhower meant by
" beware of the military industrial complex" He knew the lies and pain that would come from the power hungry and greed. He was right.

NATO has to use this opportunity to bring Russia down for good. If they didn't, all those trillions spent on defense from 1949 to present will be for nothing. All those deaths be it Vietnam or Korean proxy wars or arming the afghans when the soviet union invaded... ya this is it.

This is exactly why Russia invaded Ukraine. NATO is an empire expansionist force.

Russia will not let NATO take Ukraine.

US keeps saying "Ukraine will be part of NATO" and it's just like Russia saying "Mexico will be part of Russia".

I still don't get it, so the military industrial complex kyboshed a nuclear attack on Russia so they could increase profits over the Cold War period? Seems fantastical... 1 follow up question... are transdimensional lizard people involved, yes or no?

It's possible. But the lizard people travel on shiny Hollywood flying saucers, no interdimensional. That's the insectisoids. Get it right.
Ike said to finish the ussr shortly after ww2 ended. Like before 1949 I think. Can't remember.
