======Nuclear primacy doctrine======

American military planners have quietly disposed of the Doctrine of [[Mutual Assured Destruction]] and now believe they can win a [[nuclear war]] with a nuclear first strike.  The doctrine of America initiating, surviving, and "winning" nuclear war is known as the doctrine of "Nuclear Primacy".<ref>[https://archive.is/TR1qG America’s Secret Planned Conquest of Russia], December 29, 2016 by Eric Zuesse.</ref>  American military planners believe they can knock out [[Moscow]]'s command and control center before Russian leadership has an opportunity to react.  While in most scenarios military planners understand the North American homeland and civilian population will take a hit, they believe portions of the US can ultimately survive and prevail.

Russia's [[dead hand]] program insures much of [[America]] would be destroyed and becaome inhabitable in the case of an American [[nuclear first strike]].

Of course, destroying Russia with a thousand nuclear weapons would also destroy much of the world's [[food]] production, alter the climate and cause millions of refugees to flow out of Russia, but the United States would win the war.
