> If Russia attacks Estonia ICBMs are launched
This is constantly questioned by Americans, including the former president. It commonly goes like this: "I like $balticCountry, but are we really going to send nukes if $balticCountry is invaded?"
It might go down like WW2 when countries reacted only when large countries were invaded (Poland).
- pmontra 5y agoMAD works because the two parties do their best to convince the other party that they'd launch the missiles as soon as any of their allies or controlled territories are touched. If there is a crack in their resolve the other party can take a bite, then another one and then the alliance crumbles. Or they launch their missiles hoping for no retaliation.
- deepsun 5y agoYes. Americans cannot find Estonia on the map, why starting World War 3 for it? Especially if it's not really clear there was an invasion, maybe there are real citizens that have some demands from their government, or some other shady things not clearly seen from afar?
