Russians Have Huge, Fast, Unstoppable Nuke
The news last week was that Putin was re-doing Russia’s nuclear protocol. When can Russia use nukes in offensive or defensive situations? Meanwhile Ukraine is begging America to allow them to use the long range missiles we have supplied. So imagine if you are Putin and every morning you awake to the news of another city hit by US-supplied missiles and more Russian civilians dead? Back a bear into a corner and you best be ready for lashing out in a very furious fashion.
We don’t believe that Christians will be on earth to witness a nuclear exchange with Russia. But the headline shows us how the world is just driving closer to the abyss every day.

A single Sarmat missile can carry enough firepower to wipe out an area the size of Texas.
And we don’t have anything that can stop it…
The U.S.’ Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation said that ‘despite decades of research, development, and testing, there remains no reliably effective anti-missile system to counter intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs)’.
Existing missile defence systems, such as the U.S. Patriot system, can target incoming short-, medium- and intermediate-range ballistic missiles whose threat is localised to one region, but cannot effectively protect against nuclear-capable ICBMs such as the Sarmat that can deploy warheads across vast areas.
Meanwhile, the core of the U.S. strategic nuclear arsenal is made up of hopelessly outdated Minuteman missiles that first went into service in the 1970s.
If we were to fire those missiles at Russia, we would be praying that they could get past the most advanced anti-missile systems on the entire planet.
In particular, the brand new S-500 anti-missile system that the Russians have developed was specifically designed “for intercepting and destroying intercontinental ballistic missiles”.
Most people in the western world still assume that we are protected by the magical doctrine of “mutually assured destruction”.
But are you sure that doctrine still applies in an environment where the balance of power has shifted so dramatically?
