   NATO represents the nuclear deterrence against the  Russian threat.   
   The core of NATO strength is its nuclear deterrence.   
      
   SAC bombers operate under same principle as submarines.   
   No signal from home and nuclear missiles are fired at targets   
   If orders are to not launch first then it is assumed orders to launch are only   
   authorized if enemy has used nukes against US which causes virtual loss of all   
   communications from Washington, for example.   
      
   SAC bombers are based on NATO bases in Britain. US SAC air bases in Britain   
   are RAF bases, but are strictly under American command
