Putin did him a favor by waiting until he was out to attack.

we’re not talking about John Wicking a 9mm with your POS Glock. These are heat seeking guided missiles. You really think Elon musk can send a rocket into outer space , bring it back, and land it safely on a platform but the country with the largest multi-trillion dollar Military couldn’t have figured a way to deflect those over the last 60 years?

Yes. I'm American too, but we have to get over this thinking that we're invincible or shyt's already figured out for us.

No US missile defense system proven capable against 'realistic' ICBM threats: Study - Breaking Defense

Laura Grego, Stanton Nuclear Security Fellow at MIT’s Laboratory for Nuclear Security and Policy and a co-chair of the study, explained during the webinar that Ground-based Midcourse Defense’s “effectiveness in battlefield situations is likely to be low” based on its lackluster testing results over the past 20 years, despite testing parameters being skewed in favor of success. This includes, for example, the use of decoys to simulate adversary countermeasures designed to be brighter than the target missile’s warhead to simplify the interceptor’s ability to discriminate between them.

“Even so, the system has failed as often as it has succeeded,” she asserted. “In the 19 tests conducted since 1999, the interceptors were successful in destroying the targets in 10 of these. The Pentagon has consistently rated the GMD tests as low in operational realism. Only the last few tests have used the warheads of ICBM range missiles as targets; and it is yet to be tested against a salvo of attacking missiles, meaning more than one.”

In response, MDA spokesperson Robert Carver told Breaking Defense that since 2017, “the GMD system has been tested twice in operationally realistic scenarios against ICBM target threats. These tests used a total of three Ground Based Interceptors against two ICBM target missiles and successfully intercepted both.”

Carver said it was “important to note” that in those cases the ICBMs used countermeasures designed to thwart the ground-based interceptors, “which were still able to identify the Reentry Vehicles (the ICBM target missile warhead) and successfully destroy both.”

DOT&E also pronounced GMD as fit for purpose in the January report. The system “has demonstrated the capability to defend the U.S. Homeland from a small number of ballistic missile threats with ranges greater than 3,000 kilometers and employing simple countermeasures, when supported by the full architecture of Missile Defense System (MDS) sensors,” the report said.

Read between the lines. The system can maybe, MAYBE defend against an attack from a country like North Korea. Do understand Russia isn't sending a handful of dummy missiles if they're going nuclear. It would literally be hundreds of warheads to intercept. Even the space-based defense in development isn't feasible for defending against Russia:

In particular, Lamb told the webinar, laser weapons for boost-phase intercept “based on aircraft, drones or space platforms will not be technically feasible within the 15 year time horizon of this study.”

Further, he said, a space-based interceptor system would require “at least 400 orbiting interceptor platforms” to counter a single, liquid-fueled North Korean missile; and to counter 10 such missiles launched within a short time period, “at least 4,000.” And because solid-fueled missiles are “more demanding” a challenge, he said, intercepting just one would require 1,600 SBIs.
Russia has over 4,000 nuclear warheads and over 280 ICBMs.

Russia will cease to exist if he even dreams of pulling a stunt like that.

Breh we all will cease to exist...believe that.

Don't forget mutually assured destruction is a real life thing and that Russia has the dead hand system (so does Israel) that been around for decades. Basically all their ICBMs will automatically launch even if they are hit by a nuke.

This ain't nothing new breh. Which is why scientist in the 60s came up with MAD (mutually assured destruction) when discussing the cold war and nukes.

We all done if any superpower launches one. Which is why world powers don't fight each other only if it is proxy wars. Which ain't nothing but powerful countries arming small countries to fight powerful countries. Last this is the reason the rest of Western Europe and the West ain't willing to step in and fight Russia over Ukraine. But will send Ukraine arms to fight russia...aka proxy war.

Brehs, Biden asked Saudi Arabia to increase oil production. They said no.

Can someone explain to me how one increases "oil production".

Are they going to pump more oil from the ground (lol) or release reservoirs of oil?

WTF?

Ukraine’s President was an actor turned politician.

Listen Russia ain’t gonna launch shyt. They will be wiped off the face of the earth.

Breh, its getting to the point where Putin could give a fukk:

  • Sanctions got the entire county going back to the stone age
  • His rep is damn near in the sewer
  • NATO getting involved
  • His own people don't even care about this stupid war

Dude fitting to put all of this chips on the table with a bum hand:francis:
