"Russia is believed to have Hypersonics that make it from there to your front porch in 20 minutes"

9 out of 10 constipated babies don't give a shit, cuz they know it won't take 20 minutes for us to launch all of our missiles, and maybe some nuclear bombers, too. MAD is all the protection I need.

"And we have nothing with which to stop it."

Other than MAD? How will having Canada and/or Greenland help stop them?

You mean they have ballistic missiles? Like they have had since the 1950s? And you just discovered this?

So do we. For just as long. Not sure of your point, but...

And we have nothing with which to stop it.

That depends. If they empty all of their silos at once, then there just isn't much to be done. But for less than that...

Really. You don't know shit, do you?

Or you have figured no one else does.

Are you kidding?

If it got to that stage we would turn Russia into glass!

We have what we've always had, MAD. Ground based in ICBM's, Sub launched MIRVed missiles and ship launched cruise missiles, stealth bombers and other bombers. That just the stuff we KNOW about. I'm sure we have hypersonic missiles too. Nuclear war is a war where EVERYONE loses.
