Manage the threat? Good lord, what does that mean?It means that if people are motivated to take a job in the post office and dose mail for certain addresses, you can't nuke them. You don't even know they're there.
When a suitcase nuke explodes in your neighborhood, talk to me again about managing the threat.You have failed to manage the threat. If you know that people have an incentive to do that and make no visible effort to remove the incentive, you've failed.
I prefer a nuclear weapon.to achieve what?
You don't manage a war....you FIGHT a war.Only if the other side is willing to line up to be mown down by superior planes and tanks. Give me one good reason why they would agree to fit in with that.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
