Putin would have taken the ride.[/quote]

He is your hero as long as Russia doesn't aim their missiles towards the US.. Or as long as they don't target your area with the massive cyber attacks to make it uninhabitable for a while.  Once your kids are cold and hungry, we will see how you will cheer foreign officials bravery that may drag us into a war we were trying to avoid for many decades.  I will admire from afar.. as long as we don't get deeply involved[/quote]

Russia doesn’t get the rusted doors of their silos open before we wipe them off the map [/quote]

Our silos are rusted. Our missiles are slow, inaccurate and easily shot down. Russia has highly maneuverable hypersonic nuclear missiles against which we have no defense. https://www.military.com/equipment/weapons/why-russias-hypersonic-missiles-cant-be-seen-radar.html[/quote]

For the billionth time poster.  Russia has no hypersonics.  None.  Not a one.  None are operational  Our nukes are the most accurate in the world by far.  Our nukes are at least 4 generations ahead of Russia today.  
In any event you cannot get past our subs.      [/quote]

+1   I don’t know what alternate reality posters are living in. We outspend every other country by billions.
Where do you all think that defense budget is going? Finding articles drumming up fear to keep those sweet dollars flowing doesn’t change the fact.
I’m not saying we wouldn’t see damage. We see ( rightfully) even 1 detonation as unacceptable. Putin does not likely share that sentiment.
He is an irrational actor. [/quote]

Our military spending goes to salaries. Russia and China have hypersonic missiles. We don’t. https://www.ft.com/content/7d566088-7d25-4fde-9b02-311f86eb845e[/quote] 
25% goes to salary. that’s not most and even if it was, we’re still outspending everyone else.[/quote]

Russia and China have operational hypersonic missiles. Other countries are developing them. The U.S. is not. https://www.sandboxx.us/blog/here-are-all-hypersonic-weapons-russia-and-china-have-in-service/[/quote]

Someone didn’t read their article. [/quote]

That’s right. You didn’t read the article I posted. Russia and China have operational hypersonics. Try reading this article. https://www.cnn.com/2021/11/17/politics/john-hyten-china-hypersonic-weapons-test/index.html[/quote]

Did read the article.  They don't.  China has some.  Russia has none that are operational.  The article is flat wrong.  But again so what?  Even if they did it does not change anything.  All of our Boomers are out now.  They can't be traced and 2-3 minutes before impact.

Look at the Russian military.  Tanks are decades behind ours.  they have antitank weapons we used in the 1970s.  They have not used them much yet but their choppers are 1980s era.  Their fighter jets could not compete with the F-14, 15 never mind the two or three generations in between.  Despite this you would have us believe that they have a state of the art hypersonic nuke system?  It makes no sense.  This is a lot like the 1960 election where JFK kept saying there was a missile gap greatly favoring the USSR and that we were far behind  We were not and in fact we were ahead but Nixon could not say that because the US did not want the USSR to know.  Anyone paying attention would know that DDE would not leave the country exposed when he was President.  The Russians are little better than a third world power.  Except that they have nukes.  Great for them.  Use them and they die.  [/quote]

Yes. Russia has operational hypersonic missiles. https://www.defensenews.com/training-sim/2021/11/29/russian-navy-test-fires-hypersonic-missile-in-the-white-sea/[/quote]

Well if Moscow says so… :lol: [/quote]

This is not Moscow saying so. https://www.ft.com/content/7d566088-7d25-4fde-9b02-311f86eb845e[/quote]
