We never did have that capability with only conventional weapons. Had the Warsaw Pact ever attempted to invade Western Europe it would have taken nukes to stop them. |
From what I know, I believe you are right. Tactical NUKES anyway (nuclear artillary).
Even that might not be enough today (to be honest, I have only the vaguest idea of our current capability...or lack thereof...in this area).
I would dearly love to find out we have it handled...and that there is no reason to worry.. But, then, I'd also dearly love to learn the "Denver Broncos*" had a capable defense this season too.
