The Russians have literal thousands of nukes, that’s more than enough to bomb every US state at least 20 times.

Hell, they have more than us.

They have to focus on other nations as well.

trump is fucking retarded lmao

You can't just shoot your load all at once.

Barely, but once you go past 2,000 it really doesn’t matter.

I don't see anyone nuking places where there are mostly civilians.

D.C. being the exception since it's the capitol.

Maybe the U.S. and Russia will be sensible and not launch any nukes at all, who knows.

Trump may not be the smartest, but he’s not a warmonger.

In war, everything at their disposal will be used.

Same with Putin.

Remember what happened the last time there was war and nukes at the same time?

WWII?

What happened to Japan?

Anime was created from the radiation

lol

Nuked because Nuclear weapons weren’t something many people had and therefore there was no threat of total nuclear annihilation.

@buyXRBpls yes, yes it was

There's still a chance there won't be nuclear annihilation. There are militaristic counter-measures.

And tactical nukes, yes.

Using nukes doesn't automatically mean global annihilation.

They're a strategic weapon, just like anything else.

@fannybandit Why woulden't russia fire everything?

Simple, because they may not hit their targets the first try.

Ever superpower has counter-measures.

If they're smart, they will target the capitol along with strategic assets.

Then woulden't it make more sense just to fire a few nukes in a general area?

That wouldn't work if the counter-measures are designed to repel that type of attack.

Once large explosion in the sky can drop those nukes if the come at the same time.

There aren't any practical means of defending from a a nuclear attack though.

Russia has a very practical method...have you seen their counter-missile systems?

They can shoot down multiple nukes in minutes.

Practical? I doubt it.

They coulden't even stop most of the old and shitty tomahawk missiles that the US fired at syria.

Interceptor missiles are very practical.

Those 50 shitty tomahawk missiles are very fast.

ICBMs...not as quick.

Bigger payload.

dude interception missiles arent as good and precise as you think

if that technology was actually well developed and had a big percentage of success
