You can theoretically shoot down any missile, but you can't shoot down every missile. But America never faced that situation so never thought about it.
One path to avoid MAD is through a limited strike on US. Missile defense systems theoretically protect from such strikes, though perhaps not from coastal sub strikes. A single nuclear strike on US collapses the country. With multiple theater wars/enemies, port detonations have no certain accountability for the strike.
Hahahahah no a single strike would not collapse the country genuinely do not understand how anyone is that silly to think that. Absolutely laughable.
You think everyone lives in one city? You'd cripple Moscow or Tokyo with one strike and really fuck up their country but places like China and America have too many population hubs one strike would not cripple them at all especially when you calculate the American military bases globally positioned for exactly what your peabrain thinks.
Hahahahah no a single strike would not collapse the country genuinely do not understand how anyone is that silly to think that.
The US is a bank masquerading as a country. A single strike does collapse the US for its already high debt levels. There is no resilience to needing massive additional reconstruction/spending projects.
Russia did not collapse under sanctions because it has actual industry. energy and metals to feed manufacturing. US does not have the luxury of banking bankruptcies or debt credibility strains.
Neither does Russia. This was supposed to be a weekend operation what like 600 something days ago at this point or something? Their country is suffering for it
You seem to think countries and shit die in a day it's very immature and outright idiotic honestly. Just fully completely poorly thought through.
Russia can barely handle an opponent supposedly far below their capabilities yet they're fighting on completely equal footing. Saying in any capacity Russia is pulling anything off is a joke. Russia is in a wrestling match with an animal a quarter of their size and are STRUGGLING. There is no success in that. If I'm barely able to fight off a salmon and I'm left with life threatening injuries, in no capacity did I win that let alone succeed.
Dunno what the fuck you even think you're talking about. Everything you're tooting Russia's horn for is because they're struggling lmfao
