  • Yes. You are correct. This is called sympathetic or preemptive launch and is included in nuclear policy/strategy.

    Essentially if you launch something towards the US or especially Russia and people don’t believe it’s not a nuke they then have to decide if they launch towards the launcher or their closest rival/enemy and those launches trigger other launches.

    Most nukes are in known places in hardened bunkers or silos or better at sea in a long haul ICBM sub. If you don’t use them you lose them because they’re 100% gunna get destroyed if you don’t.




















  • We have a top secret base there, just like Korea and Vietnam early troops usually come in and break shit you can’t let go.

    No it’s because Russia is preoccupied and we’re testing near peer weapons from 3+decades ago there with little to no risk to mainland usa. It’s morally wrong sure but it does at least make sense.

    I mean sorta but not really, we’re selling most stuff at a loss. The benefit is really seeing how well our stuff works against the enemy or was designed to fight. Don’t get me wrong people are getting rich but that’s from buying more weapons to replace the ones we sold.
