Ever since I have been reading WWII exploits and stories and articles regarding Japanese, Germany, and France's surrender and other countries that surrendered, I looked at conditions that led to the surrender of those countries. It struck my mind that under what conditions would US surrender? Or would it go down fighting to the last man, woman, and child?
Suppose if USSR somehow beat US in the race for nuclear supremacy, i.e., creating impregnable shield where no nukes cannot reach and having nukes that breaches the enemy's defenses, would US surrender or just continue to fight, damn all torpedoes?
What if tomorrow, a country launches a surprise attack and somehow takes out all the nuclear weapon missiles and subs, communication infrastructure and the oil refineries, depots, and stations and the strategic oil reserves, and pretty much leave US defenseless, would US surrender?
Discuss please.
