    1. those missiles will work. They have been modernizing.

    2. There still is no credible defense to a full on attack by Russia. Trump’s golden dome is as real as Reagan’s star wars.

      Actually modernizing? Or modernizing in the way that the T-14 and SU-57 technically exist?

        They’re using this little one in Ukraine, but that aside, would you like to call their bluff if you think their missles don’t work? I’d rather this shitshow continue than play real life fallout.

        Remember that the united states and russia were routinely inspecting the nuclear arsenals of each other. They may have been hiding how bad things were, but we can be certain they do have functioning nuclear weapons at a scale large enough to matter.

          The US believed Kiev would fall in weeks, tops. I’m not putting much faith in their assessment of Russia’s arsenal. If anything, it’s in the best interest of the US MIC to lie about it and spend to fill imaginary capabilities gaps as we so often have.
