It's alright, a generation of americans has been instructed by Modern Warfare to kill russians most efficiently.
The way modern ICB Ms work, each missile carries multiple warheads.
If you add higher-yield warheads, fewer warheads need to make it to their destination to cause maximum fallout yield and maximum destruction, because they're causing bigger explosions and releasing more radiation.
As such, upping the strength of warheads used is an effective counter to a more effective defense, as it means fewer missiles need to reach their targets.

The machine gun was invented to "make war so terrible that no one would ever make war again." It's been over a hundred years, and we've really just improved it to make it better at killing people.
What something is intended to be used for on paper, and what it ends up being used for, are often very different things.

Problem with making war with Nuclear weapons, nothing will be left of either country by the end. I have a feeling moscow would not like to be a pile of rubble by the end of this week.
And from what I've seen it's more along the lines of Russia just countering, not a military attack.

Bet you didn't see that comingPretty much.
See, the thing with this stuff is that, at the end of the day, no one is going to give the OK for destroying the world over a spat about Poland. Russia doesn't want to end civilisation any more than we do.
And let us pray that come it may (As come it will for a' that)Since I'm probably going to get bombed first, let me just say:
YEAH, FUCK YOU TOO!
