Yes, I know its not really that feasible.

Edit: If a nation does not fear retalliation due to this protection. Then the second strike capability is dramatically weakened. Thus making nuclear weapons a real option for the country available again

    Yes and so is every major nuclear armed country. That’s why they are developing new delivery systems to counter the more modern and proficient anti-missile systems.

    Sure, for now a few hundred warheads on cold-war era missiles will still do the trick, but they might not in 20 years. That’s what makes it a continues arms race (which is exactly what the treaty was trying to prevent).

        That’s news to me.

        But it’s not really a topic that leads it self to short term goals, most weapon development projects take decades by itself already.
