I seriously doubt that that the US could survive with 30% intact,
but the USSR is a different story.  I have seen all kinds of reports
to substantiate this, and even MacNamara admitted we could only kill
25% back in the 60's when we had a lot more megatons than we have now.
Show me your source for casulty figures.

If you are quoting them in context, and if their responses are timely,
then they are wrong.  I can cite a simple example.  I build a cruise 
missile in a secret plant, no big deal.  I then put it in a 
the back of a semi (with shielding) and drive it around.  Now, those
things are so small, I could put one in my bedroom, and noone
would know!  So, how are you going to verify that I'm not making 
cruise missiles?  ICBM's take more effort to hide, but cruise
is trivial...
