In reply to the discussion: Those who are "enthusiastic" for war... [View all]Eko
(7,281 posts)7. An ICBM is hypersonic just like the Tsirkon.
Besides, us against the Russian navy would be no contest for us at all.
That being said, I agree that those who are enthusiastic for war are very wrong. Us entering the Ukrainian war, and it is a war, leads to three possible options. Conventional war and or Nuclear war. When making a choice you have to be ready to endure all of the possible consequences. Ukraine as much as I hate to say it is not worth a nuclear war. If it spills over to other countries? Well, that's a choice that we all will have to make hopefully never. Besides, those enthusiastic for war are making it a binary choice when it is not. We have a lot more options at this point.
