OT We aren't protected

The U.S. military isn't ready for a catastrophic attack on the
country, and National Guard forces don't have the equipment or
training they need for the job, according to a report.
No we aren't, and luckily there aren't any countries lining up their
divisions to conduct such an attack. We will *never* be completely ready
for a nuclear attack from Russia, China, or any other country with a
delivery means.
The best we can do is be prepared and take the offense whenever we see the
threat of a catastrophic attack forming. We did this in Iraq. After years
of the Democrats talking about the threat and doing nothing, Saddam talking
about his WMD, and various worldwide intelligence agencies stating that
Saddam had WMD, we attacked.
That's the way it's supposed to work. We shouldn't wait for a catastrophic
attack on our soil.
