The first nukes in a large scale war will be detonated in space to eliminate communication, spy, and other satellites. If an opposing force has a successful 1st strike then a rapidly deployable surveillance platform to re-establish our capabilities would be highly valuable.
- Sven7 12y agoLarge scale war? Give me a break. The white flags will go up as soon as people loose access to their facebook streams or hackernews for that matter.
- akbar501 12y agoI never said that it would be a popular war...just large scale. Just because something is not popular with the majority of a population (loss of FB) does not mean it cannot/will not happen. Even in a democracy. I must ask. > Large scale war? Give me a break. Are you suggesting that large scale war cannot ever happen in the future. That it's completely outside the realm of possibility? Is it an impossibility?
- Sven7 12y ago"Large scale wars" happen when both sides are equally balanced in resources. When was the last time that happened?
- pjc50 12y ago.. followed by the other nukes detonating above cities as soon as they complete their ballistic trajectories. A "limited" nuclear war is an absurdity, and it's dangerous to even think that it might be possible let alone end in anything other than massive destruction.
