Disagree. US modern armaments would be advanced enough too stop nuclear missiles from reaching targets with ease.

We have an ability to shoot down some ICBMs as long as they're not very advanced with the GMD but we've only got 44 of them.
There's one problem with shooting down ballistic missiles that's been insurmountable. One enemy MIRV missiles can drop a dozen or more warheads all over your country. You have to either shoot it down before that (extremely difficult) or build a dozen ABMs for every missile he has aimed at you. It's way cheaper for him to just keep building more MIRV missiles until you can't keep up.

WW2 nukes were dropped by bomber craft.
Idk how advanced the VIetnam times US nuke delivery system was.

In 1965 we had Minuteman missiles (earlier versions of what we still use today) and some of the older Titan. We had lots of B-52s. And the Navy had the Polaris, the first generation SLBM. So we haven't improved a whole lot on that. The Trident SLBMs are way better, but most of this stuff hasn't really changed. And back then before arms control treaties we had a lot more of it.

oh yeah that's true. Once you go past 200 nukes it doesn't matter.

I sometimes wonder where we are w/ this tech. It would obviously be highly classified. But if somehow we got in a war w/ Russia and nukes started flying and the US didn't have any way to stop incoming ICBMs from leveling all of our cities, I'd be really pissed. Like wtf have they been DOING all these decades?
We should have kept at Star Wars tbh. "b-b-but america we can't keep up with your research spending" too bad fricking commies sucks to suck.

This but unironically.
The US military budget has been more than the rest of the world combined for decades there is no way they don't have something secret up their sleeve that nobody knows about.
@gigachad_brony is willing too bet at least some of the UFO videos are actually secret US military tech.
Add AI too the mix, and that the NSA had access too user data decades before consumer companies, and you just know Military AI has been helping build even more advanced tech for at least a decade or two.
