Yeah…
Like the Russians don’t have a sizable interceptor force to shoot them down.
It’s ICBMs. Has been ever since we developed them.
Or modern SAMs. And it’s a reliable and proven defensive system.
Well, looks like we’ve created a permanent enemy and so have they. It’ll be like this for the next 500 years until they come to their senses.
Meanwhile, the Russian space program has become the backbone for many of our NASA missions.
