No serious nuclear power is afraid of the samson option.
What do they have for hitting the US? That's on the other side of the planet. You'd need nuclear subs or some shit like that.
How many launch silos do they have? Can their storage facilities withstand a direct nuclear attack? Ukraine has some (legacy Soviet) missile storage, built deep enough to survive direct nuking. That by itself is no guarantee, though. First thing the RUAF did in '22 was pummel Ivano-Frankovsk-17 to collapse the shaft leading into the installation, just in case.
And nukes themselves can be intercepted, every nuclear-armed country has people monitoring the situation 24/7, launches and even nuclear tests get detected.
Do the chosen even have hypersonic missiles?
That shit was maybe scary in the previous century.
These days, places like Turkey or Iran can probably intercept whatever the jews throw at Europe, and it would be very much in their interest to do so, as they'll be able to say "look, we saved you from the crazed jews, we're not THAT bad!" in that scenario.
NATO probably has decent detection and interception hardware in Europe just in case of a nuclear war with Russia.
Russia has enough anti-nuke shit to cover itself AND half of Europe from potential nuclear attack.
And then Moscow has its own dedicated static ICBM interception array, in addition to the entire Big Boom Division being on high alert since '22.
Sorry, you guys can keep flinging shit, I dont wanna interrupt.
Just wanted to say that the Samson Option is bullshit that nobody should be afraid of.
How does one accomplish receiving the pink triangle within less than 3 weeks of joining.
We may not be on the same side but this man is MIGHTY, I kneel in respect.
