# Annihilation for ''any'' transgression is not credible. If the threat of attack is no longer credible, AD deterrence breaks down.

There are also other destabilizing factors unrelated to which method is used. For example, [[rogue state]]s and [[terrorist]] organizations are not limited to being rational actors, so deterrence theory breaks down against these groups. [[Missile]] [[defense]] systems also destabilize deterrence, because they remove the fear of retaliation; which could lead to a possibility of a [[first strike]] attack for a small provocation. Multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle missiles (MIRVed missiles) are also destabilizing, because they make it difficult for an actor to calculate the capability of his opponent.

==Deterrence Theory as Envisioned by the Founding Fathers Against a Future Tyrannical Government==
Among the [[Founding Fathers]], [[American]] [[conservative]]s, [[libertarian]]s and [[veteran]]s, [[patriot]]s, [[prepper]]s and [[gun enthusiast]]s the [[unalienable rights]] of the [[Second Amendment]] act as the primary [[deterrence]] against [[big government]] [[Nanny state]]-[[Police state]] [[tyranny]]. Thus the slogan of [[Molon labe]] laconically represents that deterrence.
