And two nuclear strikes from Russia will be enough. US Forecast

67
Two successive massive nuclear strikes by the Russian Federation will lead to catastrophic consequences and will reduce the ability of the US to respond, leading to Lenta.ru report opinion of Professor Georgetown University Matthew Krenig.





The professor calculated that during the first strike, Russia "could destroy 131 the American city, where about 70 millions of people live, and also reduce the ability of the United States to a massive response."

The second blow, he said, could have come "at 12 cities and lead to the death of 28 million people."

With that, according to Krenig, if America significantly reduces its nuclear arsenal, then during the second attack 28, not a million people, will suffer. This is due to the fact that "Russian missiles will have to hit less nuclear targets in the US (that is, missiles will be released to destroy peaceful cities," VO "), and also the fact that the United States will have fewer missiles to destroy nuclear targets in the territory Of Russia. "

Such assessments were given by the professor in his monograph “The Logic of the American Nuclear Strategy: Why Strategic Excellence is Important”, which was published in February of this year.

        Is this a call for a preemptive strike and an increase in US nuclear forces? No, "partners", so the world cannot be built ... But to destroy is easy! How many times do we need to repeat that we don’t need a world without Russia ?!

    when exchanging an equal number of strikes - the percentage of survivors in Russia and the United States will be approximately the same,

    ps I’ll tell you a terrible secret, the total area of ​​the country and the specific population in people per km square, they don’t say anything at all about the country's resilience to a nuclear strike, but they say the percentage of decentralization of the main industries, the level of their localization on the ground, the degree of urbanization of these places, and indeed the level urbanization of the country.
    We have a lively industry two times and have miscalculated, to beat out elementary, are there duplicate leadership systems in the country? no, the Russian Federation - a federation only on paper, goof the government - the collapse will be instantaneous, with a war of all against all in the face of external invasion.

    This is far from horror stories, and cataclysms larger than the general nuclear war did not occur in the memory of mankind. The vast territory is certainly good, but not the main thing. Especially when you consider that in these large-scale territories we live with such a small population.

    Take, for example, the territory and population of the EU countries - and such regions of our North as Yakutia, Chukotka, Kamchatka, all autonomous okrugs of that region - Yamalo-Nenets, Khanty-Mansiysk, Nenets, Krasnoyarsk Territory - the territory is twice as large as the EU countries, and the population about 76 times less. Well, the Americans will not spend their nuclear munitions on these territories, and what will it give.

    So to say that because of the territories we will have a better situation - I would not draw such conclusions. Both we and they will destroy the nodal points of the state’s infrastructure, and there will be a huge number of victims, and what will give for the subsequent development and restoration of the country if almost the entire population of 50 thousand people remains in Chukotka, but at the same time zero industry ??

But do not forget that the Earth is a single organism and if we activate it (which is simply even physically and technically impossible), then the same volcano will wake up in other countries, in particular in Russia there is a volcano, smaller, but nonetheless there is. And not only America will get, but Kamchatka will simply cease to exist, and Primorye will easily go under water. It is necessary??

    And who said that, that we will destroy US military facilities in the first place. Indeed, as the practice of American military operations shows, the most effective measure of influence on the enlightenment of the brains of the American population is a quantitative factor in the destruction of their compatriots. So it will be enough to have one thermonuclear bomb in a densely populated city, better than the capital of the United States, so that the surviving people instantly realized that it was time to end the war. Unfortunately, one bomb will not cost, since the process will already be launched. Now, if the people of America understood this, then they would not have had such presidents and senators. And we, the Russians, if it is destined to die, we would like to do it with the dignity of a great country, without, to no one needing, yelling and regret, because, to paraphrase our president, why should we live if our beloved Russia does not exist. Therefore, one should not be afraid and cling to life in order to only survive, but it is necessary to beat the enemy to complete victory, no matter what. We will not attack anyone and will not allow anyone to boss on our land. Better to die than to be someone's lackey, slave, vassal, etc.
