  • The missiles will be significantly harder to hit than the submarine in a few years.

    Are there missile defense systems? Yes, but taking down short range missiles is significantly easier than ICBMs or hypersonic missiles. It’s like hitting a bullet with another bullet if you don’t catch it early in the launch.

    And you’re forgetting that MIRV’s are a thing. Missile defense systems have limited capacity and are expensive to field. Meanwhile you can use MIRV’s to multiply the effective number of missiles you’re launching for not much extra cost.



  • It doesn’t fucking matter if the satellites are easier to detect. The job of a sub isn’t to kill satellites. It’s job is to stay hidden and be ready to nuke a country in a retaliatory strike as a deterrent.

    Subs are slow, and very high value targets if you’re looking at a potential nuclear exchange. If a sub is spotted, it’s going to be added to the list of first strike targets so the attacker doesn’t have to worry about retaliation.







  • Just to go on a tangent (your comment just feels the closest to this particular topic), Hitler was actually a product of incest. His dad/uncle had a habit of raping “marrying” underage girls, including nieces.

    Also, there’s plenty of records of Hitler being fucked up as a kid, even before WW1. By that point he was particularly anti-semitic, even by the standard of early 1900’s Germany. He was also effectively “that kid” that was in everyone’s high school that wrote fanfic where they go on a rape/murder spree.

    Tbh, Hitler had 0 chance of growing up as a normal, well-adjusted person.
