Russia's nuclear-powered cruise missile (9M730 Burevestnik/SC-X-9 Skyfall) isn't invincible. It's a subsonic (~260 m/s) cruise missile. NATO aircraft could intercept it. The problem is that Burevestnik is yet another step in an arms race that offers no victory for either side.

Archbishops' statement to G7 leaders ahead of the #G7HiroshimaSummit, from John C. Wester, Archbishop of Santa Fe Paul Etienne, Archbishop of Seattle Peter Michiaki Nakamura, Archbishop of Nagasaki Alexis Mitsuru Shirahama, Bishop of Hiroshima nukewatch.org/archbishops-to…
