Nukes these days are about strategic destruction of economic assets, not blanket salting the earth.
MAD was only really a problem in the 60s and 70s when delivery systems were fuzzy and they were going for a wide berth.

Not to mention, anti missile tech has been black tech for years. Here's a video of a mkv defense tool made by Lockheed back in 2008

- freitzkriesler2 3y agoPosting a document from 2012, especially from during the Obama years? Are you kidding or just trolling? US foreign policy has changed drastically. That document is 11 years old and isn't even on the DoD's site anymore. Stick to evaluating tech companies, because geopolitics ain't your strong suit.
