Could we shoot down a Nuke Ballistic Missile?

[QUOTE=GeoFisher;583271]that rhetoric is quite silly. This is a regional conflict. NOTHING else.

Like Crimea, Like Kosovo, like Georgia

Nothing else.

Let it play out....and AMERICA needs to stay the eff out of it. If Ukraine wants no fly zones, let someone in EUROPEAN theatre do it.

you should read a little about russian ideology on de escalation. If they really would use a NUKE to de escalate, WOULD we use a nuke because they used a nuke. And in this situation, WHO would russia target to de escalate.

I don't know..........it is scary **** though.

Don't you think that Putin if he is still a rational man would also be afraid of being nuked? He is bluffing or he has gone mad. Some are saying that he has Parkinson's disease.

[QUOTE=stripernut1;583281]OR...OR...are the scumbag Chinese secretly reassuring Putin "we've got your back".???
"it would be difficult to defend incoming nukes from ONE enemy.
I would imagine **** near impossible from 2 at the same time.
And before anyone dismisses this as fretful thinking don't underestimate the utter hatred these countries have for the USA[/QUOTE]

Mutually assured destruction.

I'm telling you the RIGHT WING hawkish emm efer in me says we should do the following.

1). Publish our Mutually Assured Destruction doctrine, again.
2). Let Russia know that we ACTUALLY do have technology to knock down a whole lot of their missiles.
3). Let China know the same.
4). Let China know that we also have satellite killing weapons........


Russia is losing horribly in the Ukraine. Nothing like the shock and awe we brought to IRAQ. Russia is clearly not capable of real modern warfare, and they have played their hand..........we are headed down a horrible road.

Unfortunately, the IDIOT in chief does not have the state department "chops" or negotiating capability to get the world out of this ****........Back Channels should be working this issue, but instead we embolden our enemies, and as we embolden them, new / existing enemies re emerge.

IRAN is launching missiles at our Consulate in IRBIL. Imagine that.

Iranian Nuke Deal is on the table because sleepy joe won't give into his LEFTIST party, and pump more oil. We'd much rather buy it from our enemies like Venezuela, IRAN and RUSSIA versus pumping our own.

Our world is going to hell in a handbasket, and the HATERS of America, including most of Europe are lapping it up.

That 2008 Apologist tour really helped things, eh.

The CHICKENS have came home to roost.....
