I guess that makes sense but still, I would think a bomb that could destroy Texas in seconds would have huge ramifications for the entire world, including the ones who launched it. The shock wave from such an explosion would be devastating for thousands of miles around I would think.

Why would an ICBM need "stealth?"

You never know, we might even have something like a smart stealth cruise missile that flies around dropping little presents over a wide area of countryside.
I wonder if a certain nameless poster worked on these.

This missile would be of epic proportions. Im curious how they could get that much firepower in one single launch.

What is their effing problem?
And when the USA thinks about having a small anti-missile force in Europe, Russia accuses the west of being horrible warmongers. WTF?
Russia’s Zvezda TV channel reported on Tuesday that the RS-28 Sarmat missile, dubbed Satan 2, will replace Soviet-era R-36M missiles, which NATO military experts had nicknamed “Satan.”

What happened to "Satan-1"? How come we never heard of that? Do you really think a country would name a missile such a thing?
Targ manure I say, Targ manure.

The problem with MAD is certain people buy into the Russian propaganda that they have "Cosmic weapons" and that the use of Russian nukes somehow restricts the fallout / radiation to international borders.

It does not mater if they have or use this nuke.
The US has sub launched nukes that will still rain hell on them and everyone loses.
Tinfoil hat time ... Russians caused Chernobyl on purpose to have a nuke disaster site to study to see how bad it might actually be ... and they are now thinking it's not so bad ...
