How should west respond to potential (likely) Russian invasion of Ukraine?

He prob’ly thinks the US has no NS worries.

What I'm saying is that if you have adequate second-strike capability there is no need for launch on warning. The only reason to launch on warning is if you think you won't have enough left to shoot back after riding out the incoming strike. We do not need a launch on warning policy so there's no reason to think we would take the risk of having such a policy.

India subscribes to 'no first-strike' policy.

Which is irrelevant. Launch on warning is not a first strike. It's getting your weapons off before they're destroyed on the ground by the strike that is already incoming.

I don't think you understand what NATO is. It's just a defens ..

Ha,ha.

That's a laugh. The conflict between Russian imperialism and western democracy only started in 2014. Thank you for the useless response.

In case of Ukraine, yes.

Who has Nato invaded?

Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya, and Ukraine for that matter.
