Re: In 20 years, US bots will fight wars against whom?

I think the problem is that this comes too close to a question for which there is likely only one answer, and it's an answer we'd rather avoid:

What do you do against an opponent for whom MAD is an acceptable scenario?

IOW, what do you do against someone who would sooner destroy the world than surrender? The uncomfortable answer everyone is trying to avoid is, "Nothing." Meaning if someone's willing to destroy the world, then we're basically screwed.
