I have a lot of questions about the state of Russia's ICBMs - these are really the only things keeping the West from engaging in regime change and removing the threat to Eastern Europe. I believe that the majority of the ICBMs, the remote ones especially, have been rendered void due to decades of pilfering of both nuclear fissile materials and parts from the missiles themselves to the point that they are not able to be launched much less detonate. It's likely much of the fissile materials are in Iran, North Korea, and other "axis of evil" countries who are not China - those countries who could use the plutonium to test their detonation systems while developing the enrichment technology themselves - it has likely accelerated the development of ICBMs for these small countries such that they either now have or are close to having viable weapons.

Pre-emptive strikes on the missile sites and taking out as many as possible will absolutely neuter Russian threats. Taking out early detection satellites first and then quickly taking out silos - with Russia trying to garden wall Internet it would be an ideal time to cyber attack their defense networks and reduce their capacity for retaliation since the changes seem to be buggy as hell.

Lastly, the time to do this should have been three years ago but doing it now before November 2024 or January 20, 2025 is imperative. It really leads me to believe that in the unchaperoned discussions between Putin and Trump he was given a compelling argument about the profit potential of bilateral agreements over EU and NATO treaties, and the idiot fell for it.
