[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] Ah, but that's assuming a 1 missile : 1 killer ratio, which is an unreasonable assumption. What happens when you assume several waves of several killers each, then? And does anybody know how many warheads are likely to be launched in an assault? I think you folks are assuming a full-scale assault with everything the Soviets had at the height of the cold war. More likely we're talking about anything between 1 and... well even the Chinese wouldn't use up all their weapons in a first-strike and hold none in reserve, and they don't have that many Long March missiles yet, so let's say... 50. But you're right that nobody can guarantee 100% probability. However, I reiterate that that point is irrelevant, as it applies to everything under the sun. You can't guarantee that your car won't get crushed by a semi, yet you drive. You can't guarantee that the plane you're on will stay in the air, yet you fly. You can't even guarantee that a kid won't have a traumatic allergic reaction to a vaccination, and die, but you take them to be vaccinated anyway. [/QB][/QUOTE]
