Russia's economy(two trillion dollars) is just 1/8th the size of America's(17 trillion), and 1/16th that of the West (USA and EU combined).. Russia is so poor and America so rich that it will be totally SHAMEFUL If we let Russia launch a punishing nuclear attack against us, with Russia then ESCAPING our retaliatory strike !!! Russia destroys us, but we don't get to destroy Russia !! (By definition, nuclear war is supposed to be M.A.D., "M U T U A L A S S U R E D D E S T R U C T I O N.")

Russia's economy(two trillion dollars)
is just 1/8th the size of America's(17 trillion),
and 1/16th that of the West (USA and EU combined)..                          
Russia is so poor and America so rich that it will be totally SHAMEFUL                  
If we let Russia launch a punishing nuclear attack against us,                          
with Russia then ESCAPING our retaliatory strike !!!                      
Russia destroys us, but we don't get to destroy Russia !!                    
(By definition, nuclear war is supposed to be M.A.D.,                    
"M U T U A L    A S S U R E D    D E S T R U C T I O N.")                        
              
How can it be possible that dirt-poor Russia will beat RICH America?                          
How can Russian interceptor missiles (ABMs) shoot down                          
all our retaliatory missile warheads?                          
Answer: It's because we have drastically REDUCED the number                          
of our submarine-launched ballistic missile warheads.                          
By our reducing our retaliatory arsenal down to where the warheads we have                    
are equal in number to the number that Russia could shoot down,                      
we have made it easy for Russia to shoot down our retaliation.                          
In short, we have been unwilling to spend the money needed                          
to produce an adequate retaliatory arsenal.                          
                    
The reason Russia will bomb America with impunity is this:                          
we have let Russia trick us into signing disarmament agreements.                          
that have left us nuclearly naked, stark naked nuclear-wise.                          
                    
With all the money we,the USA and the EU, have                          
(a 32 trillion dollar economy versus Russia's 2 trillion dollar economy),                        
we should have built a retaliatory arsenal capable of                          
destroying every inch of Russia,                  
Striking total fear into Russia,                  
Thus deterring Russian Attack.                  
                          
Actually we DID have a robust retaliatory arsenal                          
but then Russia ended the Cold War.                        
That's when we started cutting back and we've steadily cut                          
more and more over the last 27 years.                    
                    
Yes, not only will nuclear war be super-destructive,                    
It will be so SHAMEFUL that Russia with a pigmy-size economy                    
WHIPS America, the number one economy in the whole world.                    
How embarrassing !!!              
            
PS: I think Nostradamus wrote of a "27 year war"    
concerning "Mabus," an anagram for Sadam.    
If you turn the "b" around, making it a "d," it works.              
In turn Sadam may be a figure for Gorbachev.              
For he has waged 27 years of a false peace, psychological war            
designed to get our pants down, nuclear arsenal-wise.              
I mean the Kremlin has been trying to get our arsenal down around our ankles          
like a teenage boy trying to get a girl's panties down.              
Next comes the rising missiles similar in shape    
to what gets "whipped out" for the purpose of penetrating,    
and thrusting, thrusting, thrusting and conquering.      
        
If Nostradamus is talking about Gorbachev veiled as Sadam,        
Then even he,the Catholic seer, knew, way back in the 1600s,      
when, just when, Gorbachev would press the nuclear button,        
Namely, "27 years" after ending the Cold War beginning in 1989 (1989-1991).        
Namely 2016 !!!
