While US scientists put forward the new doctrine of the Minimum Nuclear Deterrence (targeting missiles against Russia’s 12 key enterprises), Bigness.ru [7] decided to draw a map of a limited strike that could paralyze the US economy [8]. It turns out that the United States is much more vulnerable than Russia at this point. An attack against only five targets in the USA will throw the US economy back into the Stone Age.

US scientists put forward an idea to focus targets on 12 key objects of the Russian economy: enterprises of Gazprom [11], Rosneft, Rusal, Nornikel, Surgutneftegaz, Evraz and Severstal. The suggestion became an absolutely new approach to the deterrence doctrine. The USA currently has the Mutual Assured Demolition Doctrine, which stipulates an attack of some 200 targets on Russia’s territory.

According to various estimates, Russia’s doctrine stipulates attacks against about 100 targets on the territory of the United States. The destruction of those targets will cause critical damage to the USA.

There is no need to destroy the whole planet in order to paralyze a country and push it back into the Stone Age. The IMF can serve a very good example at this point: the organization pushed several countries into the economic abyss without the use of military force.

Leonid Ivashov, the vice president of the Academy for Geopolitical Sciences, believes that Russia would first need to attack USA’s largest banks. A successful attack would paralyze the entire dollar [12]-dependent economy. “This is the number one goal in case of war. We would need to destroy large banks in London as well,” the Colonel-General said.

Inga Foksha, an analyst with IK Aton, did not hesitate to name five targets, the destruction of which would jeopardize the USA’s existence.

The first strike should be made against the offices of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in Washington, Dallas and Chicago. “This company handles depositors’ funds. If it disappears, and if banks have no guarantees, the people will panic and will rush to cash their deposits,” Foksha said.
