Change the world, yes. End it, no.

If the Ukraine invasion is any indication of the might of Russia's military, it has demonstrated that Russia's might is largely tanks and mobile missile launchers. The US has assets in the air, on the ground and off the coast of Russia right now that are ready to redefine the meaning of "shock and awe" at the first sign of nuclear use. Putin has one chance to get his missiles off the ground before complete annihilation in a matter of minutes.

A little too optimist saying USA can stop thousands of nuclear launches at the same time, not even accounting for nuclear subs.

Once a massive nuclear attack starts, the only options are massively launching back, or not answering and hoping for the best, both for your country and the planet.

From what I've seen so far in this invasion, it appears the Russian military is as rotten as its leadership. Where are the fearsome Russian assets, the stealth bombers, the laser guided missiles, etc? They can't even control Ukraine's airspace. No, I don't think the optimism is unfounded.

I hope you are right but I'm not so optimistic. Even if 1% of Russian nukes make it, that would be a total disaster.
