All this talk about missile range and tech sounds impressive, but I keep thinking about the people living near test sites or under increased threat. When these weapons get tested or deployed, it’s often ordinary folks who face the fallout—literally and figuratively—while leaders trade boasts. Who’s really paying the price here?
That's a fair worry about the folks near test sites, but this missile boosts Russia's deterrence big time, so we'd better figure out how to upgrade our own defenses without sparking a new arms race.
