If Russia fires a nuke at an uninhabited area of the US as a warning, think US will fire a nuke back?


Obviously if they fire one in a populated area, US will retailiate like crazy. But what if they fire one at a flyover state with no population, so that no one actually got hurt/killed from the initial blast?

We'd likely retaliate before it even hits.

Nuclear deterrence only works if there is mutually assured destruction.

If anyone actually fires a nuke, it's going to drop in a population center.

Would the only country to ever use nuclear weapons against another, who have spent the time since spending a ridiculous amount on their military including nuclear stockpiling so that they feel that nobody will fuck with them, retaliate to a nuclear attack?

That's your question?

Absolutely. I don't think U.S. will target a civilian location though.

Could a nuke be intercepted somehow if we knew it was coming? Like launch a drone and shoot it down over the ocean?

Consider that if we fire back, it would actually be worse for the entire world. I wonder if we would "think of the world" and not fire back.

If a single nuke gets launched, Id imagine a decent chunk of the populated parts of the US, Europe, Russia, Israel, and possibly China, India, Pakistan, and Korea (depending on if they get involved) will be in ashes very quickly.

Theory of MAD is fine, but the actual use of it.... You're just asking for more death and destruction.

Its either let them win or noone wins when it comes to nukes. Who in power do you think isnt going with the second option?

You mean the areas where most of our nuclear weapons are based? Oh yeah, sure, wed totally let the Ruskies get a first strike on our nuclear arsenal without responding. /s

Nobody in their right mind (or even crazy mind) would ever use a nuke as a warning shot. As soon as one launches, they all launch. That's the point of MAD.
