We have a hard time shooting down conventional missiles. In a nuclear attack I think we're just going to have to take some hits and rely on their weapons being Made in China and prone to failure.

I hope I"m wrong and they do have a space laser armada or UFO weapons or something crazy.

I recently read a credible explanation for UFOs, which is that they are US aircraft that don't follow the rules regarding the use of nuclear power sources in flying vehicles. If UFOs aren't just a complete hoax to begin with, that is.

If you are a superpower, why would you not break the rules? Especially, if you can say that a big bad company did it and you had no idea it was happening.

I was going on about that a year or two ago wrt FTL. It would make a certain amount of sense.
