Американцы напоминают нам, что в ядерной войне не будет победителей?

Вот, что написал американский журнал в новой статье о текущих событиях:

Let’s say a surprise Russian first strike takes out 100% of our ICBMs, trashes the Air Force’s heavy bomber fleet, and kills all our major cities. The US lost, right?

The catch is, we had 6–8 ballistic missile submarines at sea when this happened. Each one carries nearly 200 nuclear warheads. So we’d be retaliating with at least 1200 warheads, sufficient to destroy every city in Russia, along with every military base, industrial center, dam, major highway intersection, airport, and more.

So even if the Russians technically got a “higher score” by killing a higher percentage of us than we do them, both nations are now wastelands with no infrastructure, communications, or economy. Both nations have functionally ceased to exist, leaving isolated towns to act as independent city states. So we both lost, and lost bad!

Wars happen because one side’s leader decides he can profit somehow. But nobody’s ever figured out a way to profit from nuclear war, so nobody wants to start one. It’s pointless.

Как вы думаете, военные России помнят о том, что в случае ядерного удара, весь мир будет уничтожен ответным ударом?
В этом и заключается принцип сдерживания вооружений.
