US Nuclear Arsenal Doesn't Work and Is Obviosly Phony and Should Deter No One

Post from the past - a new column where we highlight a pertinent post from the past.

Here is Russia's Tsar Bomb test.

 

The US has never tested anything remotely similar, and not just because she has nowhere to test it (and she doesn't), but because it has never been able to build anything like the Tsar Bomb.

Neither the United States nor any other entity has ever carried out test launches of nuclear capable intercontinental ballistic missiles literally across continents like Russia regularly does - sending missiles from launching sites in its territories in Northern Europe to strike test targets in the Far East which is Easternmost North Asia - literally lengthwise across two contents - Europe and Asia - and more than half of Earth's circumference at equator.

However, there is more.

As readers of this blog of ours should by now be aware of, one of the lessons of the current NATO provoked war in Ukraine is that NATO's weaponry in general and the US weaponry in particular is at best subpar and at worst - and more often than not - totally ineffective and never works as intended or at all.

To extrapolate this lesson to the US nuclear arms, and I won't even go into the matter of the puny stale nuclear arsenals that some Euros (like France and Britain) may or may not have, it would be justified and prudent to logically conclude that the US's nuclear armaments and systems are unlikely to fare any better on average than all the rest of the poorly built American weaponry because the former are produced by the same corrupt capitalist Military-Industrial Complex, prioritizing unbridled profits over ensuring quality, reliability, soundness of design and proper performance of their output.

In fact, the US nuclear weaponry is likely to work even worse than its conventional weaponry - that is, not at all.

On top of the problems it must be sharing with other useless American weaponry, it is likely to not work because it's also outdated, superannuated, degraded, has gone bad and has not been tested for decades, if at all. 

Also, critical skills appear to have been lost both in design, production, maintenance and operation of such weapons and the know-how is gone.

If the US military made so bold now as to attempt to use, or even just to test in real-life conditions, anything out of its nuclear arsenal, nothing would come out of it, except very likely a disaster or catastrophe at source.

Hence, all the indicea are the US nuclear arsenal doesn't work and is fake and just for show, nothing but a big bluff and lots of hot air and a bad poker face.

This of course offers some tantalizing possibilities to nations with proven working nuclear arms like India, Pakistan, China, Iran, North Korea etc.

Bad poker face

Contrary to popular opinion, it won't take a mass nuclear attack to take the US out for ever. 

Especially if the problem is tackled creatively.

For instance, in 2017, the EMP Commission found that North Korea could easily detonate a single EMP device (a nuclear explosion in mid-air) over the US to shut down permanently the electrical grid and the entire country reportedly resulting in 90% of the population dead within a year, according to the study.

The Yellowstone supervolcano is another likely non-conventional target for a single nuclear strike on the US in the absence of the US nuclear deterrent (or maybe even in the presence of the same). 

 

Just one nuclear device could easily puncture the brittle volcanic structure, one result of which could be a supereruption which, according to current scientific thinking, will likely put an end not only to the United States but, for good measure and as an added bonus, to Canada as well.
