Here's what we should have done...

We should have told the Russians up front that we'd be willing to help them make their own defense system... or that we'd be willing to share authority over such a system with them.  I'm not afraid of the Ruskies nuking me, is anyone else?  Whatever retard decided to line the Russian border with our anti missile systems need to be court martialed for extreme strategic negligence.

Meh. I would say that Russia wouldnt nuke anyone. Its a stalemate. If one person nukes someone, theyll either talk, or nuke them back, with 10 times the force. Itll kinda be like 'End of ze world' the flash movie, nukes going eveywhere. They know that themselves too.

Question: What's new? MIRV's have been around for some time. I must be missing something because this story is starting to pop up everywhere.

MIRVs have, like Trident, for example - but these are just new, harder to intercept ICBMs, to counter the US missile defence program - which won't work against countries with decent missile technologies. It is easier to make a missile that won't be shot down than it is to make a system that will shoot missiles down. Nations of comparitive levels of technology will have missiles that the defence system is incapable of dealing with, other nations would use alternative techniques to deploy nuclear weapons, such as some type of terrorist attack. I can't foresee any scenario where the missile defence system will be worthwhile, but I'm not complaining in the UK we're going to (or are at the very least, quite likely to) have a missile defence system for free because of it.

Some defence systems can handle MIRVs?  All you really need is the same tech, but make it able to either:

a)  Track and target multiple small targets

or

b)  Take out the rocket before it splits up

Also, you're on a bit of an embedded link binge lately, what's up?

They won' let Checnya alone because they have the oil. Without the oil they can't compete. Now they have the Caucasus oil fields they will be as in our face as Kim Jong Il with nukes.

Perhaps because they feel that the US possessing such a system gives them an unfair advantage. Not to mention the fact the US have broken the ABM treaty with the Russians over this. The Russians are well within their rights to develop systems rendering the defence system useless. Unless the ABM technology is shared, in its entirety, with the Russians and probably the Chinese, it is illegal. That's what Reagan planned to do with SDI, develop an effective ABM system, then share it with the Russians, eliminating the risk of MAD.

10 unarmed missile interceptors in Poland and a linked radar in the Czech Republic is an unfair advantage.

Also didn't the treaty expire in 2001/2002? I don't think it was broken, it just wasn't renewed. (Could be wrong)

I think you're right about the treaty expiring, I didn't realise that.

Which means that there is no legislation preventing the Russians developing the missiles to penetrate such a system or developing a system of their own. The US are the ones who decided not to renew the treaty, the Russians are just following suite - the US initiated all of this. Not renewing the ABM treaty set the ball rolling on loads of ICBM and ABM development programs starting in advanced non-Euro/US nuclear powers.

As I've always asserted, missile defence systems are a waste of money. They cost more to develop and implement than missiles that will pentrate the system and so are a poor allocation of resources. Not to mention the fact the US are notorious for massive overspending on military projects, while Russia get a good job done for next to no money.
I am well aware that the stated purpose of missile defence systems is not to gain any advantage over major nations with nuclear weapons, but to provide a counter measure against rogue states threatening the US with nukes - Iran, Pakistan, NK etc. I really can't see any of those nations threatening the US with nukes. They might use them against the US, but I very much doubt they would use an ICBM delivery system and I doubt they would make any threats before such an attack was made.

MIRVs will always beat any defense system. If someone makes a defense system capable of handling the current MIRV technology, you just upgrade the BUS so that it can allow for more MIRVs. Its all about overwhelming the system with more targets than it can handle.

As for shooting it down before they break up, well, then its just a matter of making your missiles faster.

Or making stealth missiles. The new Russian plasma based stealth technologies could be adapted to do that.

I think MIRVs are cheaper. Although MIRVs were outlawed until SOMEONE backed out of the Goddamn ABM treaty like a fucking moron

No they weren't. The UKs entire nuclear arsenal is composed of MIRV warheads (Trident II D5s). The US have quite a few too. Even Russia had some prior to these tests so I'm assuming that these missiles are fancier and harder to intercept.
