protip, 'zombie outbreak in the US' and 'invasion from Canada' are weaselspeak for 'quelling armed citizen resistance'.

Factual.

Because conventional warfare is awesome. Fucking nukes ruined everything.

It's likely a presentation about infosec. IE- how to keep information hidden. Thus, the biggest danger comes from insiders, whether they reveal the information willingly or accidentally.

Protip: The first part of MAD is Mutual. If the destruction isn't mutual, why would the other side refrain from a preemptive nuclear first strike?

Protip #2: The Armed Forces make up a large amount of our economy, which is a phenomenon known as the Military-Indistrial Complex. As profitable as using nukes to extort small countries may be, our long term growth relies on a sound economy, so we'll keep fighting never-ending wars against poorly armed guerillas until it stops being so damn lucrative.

His response to complaints about collateral damage in Afghanistan was in lines of "it's a good thing because they'll have to apply for recompensation from the new government which will strengthen its legitimacy".

Idiots are very dangerous, anon.

MAD's already broken down, we are in a age where the US could win an atomic war.

>>31168016
Oh really?

>>31168233
One might be able to make that argument. Winning wouldn't look like any war we've seen, but Russia's arsenal has deteriorated big time and China doesn't has never had the number of assets necessary.

>>31166920
Those bottom two are about to fuck us over hard.

>>31168249
>Russia's arsenal has deteriorated big time
I find that unlikely. Do you have a reference point for that?

>>31168249
Do you have any proofs of that?
I only remember Oppenheimer getting butthurt when people claim we can completely level or EMP continents, nothing about winning.

>for the US to retain supreme authority over the globe

So, you Americans got overseas to crush the nazis and their evil world domination motives, destabilised pro-Soviet countries, on the other hand it's completely fine if you want to rule the world?

Start at page 84.

The weapons themselves aren't the biggest issue. That would be the command and control aspect, especially in missile warning systems.

For the record you have to be 18 to post on 4chan.

Interesting stuff anon. Thanks.

Or the fact that it's the job of the general staff to plan for invading any and all countries so that in the off chance that it is needed, a plan has already been established. Sure, it'll need major modifications, but it's a good starting point.
