#1 Mutual Assured Destruction is still in play. There will be no Russia afterward. The Russians/Soviets were intelligent enough to understand that.

#3 Stupid move by Congress subcommittee where Space Force Commander claims on CSPAN that the US can detect a Russian ICBM launch but cannot track it in real time.

#5 US can detect a Russian ICBM launch but cannot track it in real time

As someone that has worked for the DoD in that exact field, I can tell you that is utter bullshit. They can track pieces of satellites that broke up. A warhead is easy.

#6 So, report was inaccurate or we have generals lying to congress.

#7 Let me ask this, do we have any generals/admirals who DON'T lie to Congress?

Any? Name one?

#8 One difference between America and Russia is that we don't have ex-generals running around saying crazy shit which immediately gets picked up by the media which was already full of crazy shit from yesterday.

Russia sees this as a Sampson in the Temple move.

#11 ^ As they should. Bidet would never allow any response to any attack.

#12 And wipe out the entire progeny of the Russian ruling class? No way.

#13 They can track pieces of satellites that broke up.

Not to mention IR satellites staring at the entire earth and sensitive enough to detect and track the IR plume of anti-aircraft missile launches and locate the launch point.

#14 IR satellites staring at the entire earth and sensitive enough to detect and track the IR plume of anti-aircraft missile launches and locate the launch point

And more sensitive than that and a lot smarter. Combine that with the radars on the ground that can pretty much see all of the norther hemisphere, nothing can get off the ground larger than a jet that isn't tracked and detected.
