Peace: Now At Hand
A momentous event occurred last night. The US Missile Shield went online and in a successful real world test had a successful kill of a large moving celestial target, not just a successful kill but the missile hit an exact area on that target, the fuel tank. The media hasn't really grasped what this means. The threat of nuclear warfare, and nuclear attacks from ICBM's from China and Russia is now gone. We alone hold the nuclear card, and what that does for diplomacy is even more profound. We can now pursue a foreign policy towards China and Russia that truly represents the best interests of the United States, we can now push harder and more intensely without having to worry about pissing them off and getting into a standoff. Sure there's traditional military concerns but seriously, I don't think anyone has to worry about any contest of US vs China vs Russia. A traditional military conflict would be bloody, and mostly naval/air but the nuclear card is gone.
