ABC?
Atomic, Biological, Chemical.
Though I'm more familiar with that as NBC (N being nuclear), so it's possible that I'm misinterpreting what REEEEvolution meant.
Usually it should be NBC which stands for nuclear, biological, chemical.
I'm guessing here they meant atomic, biological, chemical.
There's also "MSNBC" - Mass-Slaughter Nuclear Biological Chemical and "CNN" - "CIA-Nurtured Nazis"
Atomic, Biological, Chemical
The US has huge arsenals of all of these weapons, a shortage of conventional ammunition would be the perfect excuse to use them to defend the "rules based international order".
Dispite the later 2 being illegal for a country to even posess and the first legal for a contry to posess but illegal to use... so one has to wonder, what rules are there in this "rules based order"?
The US makes the rules and orders everyone else around.
Fingers crossed though, if and when they do launch- the rest of the world must return in kind and 1000x over. The rest of humanity is not defenseless, and if they wish to use such WMDs the US best prepare for MAD and to be eradicated off the face of the planet, this is the deterrence game the US has forced the rest of the world to play and if they want to push their luck they will die by it.
NBC. Nuclear, Biological, Chemical. They probably meant "atomic", but the military doesn't use that term anymore.
The US has no biological or chemical weapons (aside from irritants like pepper spray or mace). They do have protective equipment and procedures for operating in an NBC environment.
As for nuclear, the entire world is pretty sure that nuclear leads directly to mutually assured destruction, so it's not really a viable threat anymore.
