Could we shoot down a Nuke Ballistic Missile?

[GeoFisher]

I'm reading now that TRUMP was the only president in 15 years to even remotely give a ****.

OUR abilities to shoot down were totally reviewed in 2017 under Trump, and major changes were made..Imagine that.

YOU can thank him later.

Here is an excerpt, and I will link teh whole article below



The Trump Administration

In May 2017, pursuant to direction from President Donald Trump and Congress, then Defense Secretary James Mattis formally announced the beginning of the department’s Ballistic Missile Defense Review, which is taking a wide-ranging look at missile defense policy and strategy. The review was finally released in February 2019, one year after its original completion target.

Broadly, the review proposes to expand the role and scope of U.S. missile defenses by focusing not only on ballistic missiles, but also other types of missile threats, such as regional cruise and hypersonic missiles. It also proposes placing greater emphasis on the importance of space and new technologies to intercept missiles during their boost phase when they are traveling at their slowest. The review also calls for integrating offensive attack operations more closely with missile defenses and to supplement the defense of the U.S. homeland with the Aegis Standard Missile-3 (SM-3) Block IIA interceptor.

Why do we still fear nuclear war when Putin threatens to use Nukes if anyone interferes with his war against Ukraine? either Joe is a pussy, or we don't have the ability to stop Putin's nuclear missiles, bombs, and torpedoes.

If I were President, we would already be in WWIII. So, it's a good thing that I don't have the power. But Biden does and he should use it before we lost Ukraine completely. Putin will not stop if he succeeds in taking Ukraine. We should strike while Russia is preoccupied with war in Ukraine. Putin is vulnerable right now as all his troops are engaged in Ukraine. He has committed 10% of his 200,000 army to the war inside Ukraine and has left the eastern flank open to attack by China. Now he may have an agreement with China so they won't attack, and he can pull Russian troops from the Chinese/Russia Boarder and send them to Ukraine. Who knows for sure?
