The illiteracy doesn't help, either.

Is the Russia capable of handling the US aggressation (?) in Mexico military on its own,and has it the latest technology against the US military might?

.

Apart from failing to exclusively use words that have a generally accepted meaning, questions like this are silly because they lack important variables.

.

Could the US 'win' a well planned, well executed, 1st strike nuclear exchange? 'Win' is too pleasant to describe likely outcomes, but there are lots of scenarios where the US could likely fare far better....but no one would be better off for it.

.

Imagine for a moment that the US has a pretty good idea where most of the Russian delivery systems for nuclear warheads are. So the threats are ICBMs, SLBMs, and cruise missiles launched from bombers.

.

Imagine how effective simple, low tech strategies could be for rendering the 400 ICBMs based in Russia ineffective, if the US chose first strike. ICBM's move very slowly when they first launch. A sniper with a 50 cal Barret, wouldn't need to knock it out of the sky, just knocking a big hole in it is very likely to render it ineffective. Simply driving (either with personnel or by remote) a large truck over silo doors and parking it, could be a very effective way to delay launch by enough that a US warhead has time to hit it.

.

There are less than 20 SSBNs, so you need a warhead for each of those.

.

Less than 100 nuclear armed bombers, we could handle those with just the F-15, 16's and 18's.

.

Any strays that aren't taken out before they launch, would need to be picked off by Aegis.

.

Russia has a large tactical nuclear arsenal deployed, so overwhelming and achieving surrender would be far better than having things progress to battle lines.

.

.

And what exactly would be gained? Hmm. Well, the US wouldn't have to worry about Russia threatening its world dominance, anymore....not at all, since it wouldn't be top dog anymore. The US would forfeit that status to China, if it embarked on such foolish action. But, I'm not sure that in the aftermath you could even claim China 'won'.

.

.

A better question about 'aggressation' ....other than 'WTF does that mean?' ....would be what are the costs and risks of dealing with it with various approaches.

Or maybe you should just ask Vashikaran. Vashikaran seems eager to help.
