| − | Because [[nation]] [[state]] nuclear target structures may have changed since the end of the Cold War, it is difficult to predict with certainty what targets [[Russia]], [[China]], [[North Korea]], or [[Pakistan]] might have selected in the [[United States]]. However, targeting should be similar to what was predicted in the early 1990s.

[[Threats]] against these targets could also be used following the initial [[attack]]s to force our leadership to capitulate.
