A Russian news anchor recently stated that Russia is the only country on the planet capable of turning the USA into a pile of ash and craters. Their hypersonic warheads would be almost impossible to stop. Their missile defense system is far more advanced than ours. Many have said that they could destroy every single one of our military ships in under two hours if they so desired. None of that means that they would ultimately survive after initiating such an offensive, but it does mean that they are capable of totally annihilating the USA. What's the term used for that? Mutually assured destruction. (There's even a WikiPedia page dedicated to that term, BTW.)
