re: #67 lawhawk

That shift allows what is tactically an advantage to the US to disappear. Currently, the US has warheads spread among those 800 delivery vehicles. That would be further concentrated to 700 vehicles. The Russian warheads are spread among fewer delivery systems (600) and by enabling them to grow their delivery system to 700, actually makes US targeting even more difficult. That can be perceived as a tactical advantage to the Russians, even with the numbers being the same at the end of the day.

However, from a 3d party view, it would make the situation more stable since the two countries deployed weapons systems would be symmetrical (or more so than at present).

Doesn’t this increase Russian regional dominance (by cutting US global deterrence)?
