So, we are unable to retaliate with any other arms then nuclear? I notice that this statement does not rule out retaliation with chemicla or biological weapons of our own.

But I am confidant we can flatten most any non-nuclear country with non-nuclear bombs just fine. > Added this to the context: > So much for the American nuclear policies of yesterday.
