U.S. Nuclear Policy 

Ever since the Soviet Union added the atom bomb to their arsenal and soon the hydrogen bomb, it was a great fear of every United States citizen that we would be a victim of a nuclear attack.  From that day on, the U.S. adopted a policy known as "massive retaliation."  This clearly means that if a country launches a nuclear attack on the U.S., they better make sure it is a good one, because we will in return, use everything in are arsenal, including nuclear weapons to demolish their country and make sure that nothing is left standing.  We maintain a hot line with other countries to prevent a nuclear war by misunderstood intentions.  However, if it is a true attack, we have nuclear submarines ready to strike, minutemen missiles ready to launch from silo's around the world, stealth bombers and fighters are ready to fly, and carriers are ready to launch air strikes and cruise missiles.  We have NORAD to insure that our nuclear force can not be wiped out in a pre-emptive strike and within minutes of a hostile launch, the National Command Authority and the President of the United States will authorize a full retaliatory strike and it would all be under way!
