The royals aren't a decapitation target for a nuclear first strike.
- jacquesm 4y agoThe US presidents' motorcade protects against a lot of things but a nuclear first strike is probably not one of them.
- chernevik 4y agoNot saying the President himself would be nuked, but that killing the President is the first move in at least one first-strike scenario. As part of deterring a first-strike, the Secret Service has to show that the President cannot be killed even by a substantial and sophisticated ambush. It has to be ready for weapons like these Javelin missiles that killing tanks in Russia.
