They don't shoot a missile at another missile. They use satellite guided lasers to initiate the detonation sequence. Sending a pod into the atmosphere is easier for the satellite to pick up plus it isn't a safe option bc even if it reaches its destination successfully the radiation is spread thru a wider area. Any missiles launched will be picked up long before it's in range.

A submarine would be even easier to find before it even launches. Not only is the US on high alert right now but every country in between is too. There's no way Russia can creep anywhere right now. The entire world is watching right now. It's the entire reason Russia is pump faking showing nukes. It's called posturing

This just isn't an argument breh. The US has no means of stopping a nuclear attack from Russia. Full stop. That's it.

Unless you think Russia would literally just launch a single warhead only to be wiped off the earth minutes later, the US would absolutely get hit with a nuke if Russia decided that's what it wants to do. They would launch multiple missiles, not just one.

This is literally the entire crutch of mutually assured destruction. And why countries see anti-missile defense system deployments as threatening. No country has a missile defense system that could address a high volume attack from Russia or the US.

No it wouldn't. Hitting one missile with another missile is literally like trying to shoot a bullet with another bullet.

The other thing is...there are nuclear weapons that send up a single pod in the atmosphere, then open up with multiple projectiles to overwhelm any defense systems. There are also cruise missiles that can be launched via submarines and cruise under radar.

Long story short, there is no way to stop a nuclear attack from a country like Russia. That's actually a key part of the stability...no one being immune to getting hit...and both sides being able to fukk you up severely with a response if you do strike first.

He is. US will wipe them nikkas out expeditiously if he tried some shyt. Citizens of Russia need to get it crackin cause that man bout to have them in some serious shyt.
Exactly. The goal of the sanctions is to get the people so agitated that they lose their fear of the dictator and get at him.

This is a risk that nobody living there wants to fukk with. This isn't the russia of the 40s and 50s ready to die for the cause and risk a nuclear war. These mf have families and nice tracksuits. They won't die because a clown thinks he's a king and can do whatever he wants

Idk about that.
All of Europe and North America are ready to go. This isn't like Germany in the 1940s where they had allies with muscle. The cac world is united in their hatred of this man.

I don't believe this to be true but I do seriously hope there is a sane middleman somewhere in their chain of command who could refuse to launch nukes if Putin ordered it .

Hopefully even his own soldiers would realize how stupid that would be if the time came
Believe it or not, Putin is widely considered to be a moderate. There are Russian hardliners way more committed to restoring former USSR like hegemony. I think Putin is smart enough not to use them unprovoked.
