[@absoutezeo2126]

The aircraft carrier, while still an option, is largely outdated as it risks being shot down or otherwise being deterred en route to its target. The modern option is ICBM, ot intercontinental ballistic missiles that are fired from set points and directed over long distances to strike targets. I recommend reading up on both subjects for a more comprehensive explanation.

[@magnum8264]

also they are launched from submarines, that could be lurking anywhere.....

[@masterhendy]

Instead of insulting Putin or calling him unreasonable or crazy, we should be having a dialogue. I am glad that the two sides are at least indirectly talking, but there needs to be more... One thing that worked well in the Cuban Missile Crisis was that Robert Kennedy ignored the bellicose statements coming from Russia and just pointed out statements they liked or agreed with and commented on those. Responding negatively or talking about what we don't like is easy to do, but doesn't help build bridges and easing tensions ,which is what we need right now.

[@Samson373]

The main lesson of the Ukraine war for Americans: we should shift much of the funds we currently spend on conventional forces to anti-ballistic missiles and other forms of nuclear defense. Let's get real--nukes are all Russia has against the US. If Russia’s conventional forces were twice as good as they are, they’d still be half as good as they need to be to give the US a run for its money. As for China, all signs point to its conventional forces being just as much of a paper tiger as Russia's. Realistically speaking, no country’s conventional forces pose a strategic threat to the US. Yet, against nukes the US seems content to remain helpless. The percentage of defense spending allocated to nuclear defense is so low what else can it be called other than wildly irrational and profoundly irresponsible. I’ve read that the US has fewer bunkers than either tiny Albania or tiny Switzerland. It’s as if long ago the US decided that there’s no point in even trying to survive a nuclear war given that whatever we do millions of us will die. If half of us will die, there’s no point in the other half surviving. What kind of nonsense is that?! Why do we make no effort whatsoever to save the tens of millions of American lives that could be saved? We spend astronomical amounts to develop fighter jets so advanced that fighter pilots won’t get shot down, thereby saving tens or hundreds of American lives. So why do we spend almost nothing to save tens of millions of American civilians from incineration and radiation poisoning?!

[@blairakana9984]

The US and the world do not want to think of the worst case scenario but Putin will not hesitate to launch nuclear missiles if he feels threatened by NATO and US.
