You're correct - no rational actor would attack the US.
Now, if only I could trust that there would always only be rational actors I could sleep well at night.

China has like ... millions of prisoners, presumably being brain-washed and worse... wouldn't be hard to maybe coax them into becoming spies and immigrating here, and just causing turmoil.
Starting forest fires ... or doing some sort of home-made drone attacks against infrastructure (power grids, gas-lines, trains, etc) ... all china needs is for us to decline, not full scale war.
That's just what china might do... we've got plenty of enemies... but I still think the military is way bloated, and doesn't need half the $$ it has, because if it were guerilla tactics like this, it'd be a hard fought battle no matter how much money is thrown at it.
There's way more vulnerabilities facing us with climate change, etc than missile strikes IMHO...

Worrying won't stop a missile attack, might as well sleep.
