  • Play this out:

    1. Russia nukes the US.

    2. In response, the US nukes Russia. Not just a little bit either, they nuke all population sites.

    No “decapitation” strike is possible from either side. Any attack by either side is met by the other striking back, and again not just a little bit - all population sites. That is what mutually assured destruction is.

    And maybe more if you need:

    1. if you think the US nukes Russia, then:

    2. surprise, Russia nukes the US back.

    Once again, no decapitation strike is possible from either side. A strike by the US is met by Russia striking back. That is what mutually assured destruction is.

    MAD literally works if either side starts nuking the other, regardless of the reason why. This is the whole basis of MAD.

    Ok I’m really gonna peace out. You really need to do some reading.
