Moscow builds 5,00 new bomb shelters against nuclear attack – RT

Now why is Moscow concerned about a nuclear attack? The West is reducing its nuclear arsenal and getting weaker by the day. The West is defenseless in the face of a nuclear attack in terms of protecting its population. It has few bunkers and many of those have degraded with time.
China is also expending a lots of resources to build underground bomb shelters.
1. Shanghai Completes Massive Underground Bunker to Protect Citizens from \"Disasters\"
2. China builds vast bunker complex ‘in case of attack’
Isn’t it funny how both Russia and China are both upgrading their nuclear weapons systems and building underground bomb shelters. Do they know something that we don’t?
We know that these underground bomb shelters are just about useless against a surprise nuclear attack in the middle of the night. However, these shelters give both Russia and China options in terms of initiating a surprise nuclear attack on America. Should they launch a surprise nuclear attack in the middle of the night on America, then their citizens will have about 30 minutes to get to a shelter. It will also be daylight for them. Meanwhile, American citizens will just die in their beds while sleeping.
From RT:
It's funny how many Americans (and a few on our BB here, I'm sure) would blame our own country. \"We deserve do all die.\"
Moscow builds 5,000 new bomb shelters against nuclear attack – RT

Moscow authorities say the measure is urgent as the shelters currently available in the city can house no more that half of its population.
Nearly 5,000 new emergency bomb shelters will be built in Moscow by 2012 to save people in case of potential attacks.
In the last 20 years, the area of air-raid defense has been developed little, and the existing shelters have become outdated. Moreover, they are located mostly in the city center, which makes densely populated Moscow outskirts especially vulnerable in the event of a nuclear attack.
In order to resolve the issue, the city has given architects a task to construct a typical model of an easy-to-build shelter that will be located all over the city 10 to 15 meters underneath apartment blocks, shopping centers, sport complexes and parks, as in case of attack people will need to reach the shelters within a minute.
Moscow saw its first mass building of shelters in the 1930s, after which 7,000 of them were constructed. Some of Russia’s metro stations have been built very deep underground so that they could double as air raid shelters.
However, in the early 1990s, many shelters were privatized by commercial firms that used them as warehouses, parking lots, and even restaurants.
Fine. Ya'll are welcome to go present yourselves to the enemy for execution.
Shelters won't do much in an attack, but they do signal intentions- and they aren't good.
