"Why bother replicating the Soviets? You flip flop from building multiple soviet naval carriers to the concept of nuclear arms in general, which is hard to read."
"For a political statement, a nation could make it very clearly demonstrated you have, say, a dozen."
Uh, these aren't even proper English sentences. Pardon me for not taking the rest of your paranoid fever dreams about shipping nukes via UPS even a tiny bit seriously.
Anyway, the question is not whether any of this is technically possible, but weather any of it can be done without danger of absolutely crushing retaliation. And as we all know, from the DOJ to the Pentagon, if there's one area in which the US Government excels, it's completely, insanely over-the-top retaliation.
- VLM 13y ago"it's completely, insanely over-the-top retaliation." I fail to see that as a problem. Lets say you're an Iraqi and you don't much like the Iranians. So you load up a truck with a special package, drive across the border to a local Iranian post office, and then wait for the insanely over the top retaliation directed at your enemy. Note that we never fight back against the people who attack us, at least not since Pearl Harbor or so. Bunch of Saudis knock down some skyscrapers, well, lets hit Afghanistan, after all the Soviets were so successful there I'm sure we'll do better. So if some Iraqis used the Iranian postal service to mail a care package to the US, we'd probably respond by invading Syria, or Venezuela. I'm not sure thats entirely a bad idea as a policy... being unpredictable means you're hard to manipulate.
