First ICBM missile launched from russia in the ukraine war, WW3 is coming

An ICBM (Intercontinental Ballistic Missile) is a type of missile that is capable of traveling long distances, typically over 3,400 miles (5,500 kilometers), and can carry nuclear warheads. ICBMs are designed to be launched from the ground, air, or submarine and follow a ballistic trajectory to their target, meaning their flight path is largely determined by gravity once the missile reaches a certain altitude.

ICBMs typically have three main stages of flight:

1. Boost Phase: The missile is launched, and its engines propel it out of the Earth's atmosphere.
2. Midcourse Phase: After the missile leaves the atmosphere, it coasts through space along a trajectory toward its target. This is the longest phase of the missile's flight.
3. Reentry Phase: As the missile approaches the target, the warhead(s) re-enter the atmosphere and descend toward the target with high speed.

ICBMs are a key component of nuclear deterrence strategies, particularly in the context of Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD), where the threat of devastating retaliation ensures that nuclear weapons are not used. They are primarily operated by countries with significant military capabilities, such as the United States, Russia, China, and others.

Putin is desperate into not getting dragged on an even bigger war that he can't get rid off, and Biden and his administration want the contrary, to make a bigger war on Russia.

In my opinion, it was a bad move to launch the ICBM as a response to yesterday's Ukraine attack. He should have done the same that Iran did when Israel was/is provoking them to enter the war, and constantly remind his rivals for a long course of time that he "will respond imminently and on a devastating manner" and keep them waiting for months, instead of straight doing it this way. It would have given him more time for things to change, and taking into account that the US has a two months deadline for the change of presidents it would have been better.

He should have taken a week or two or even a month saying the craziest stuff ever, and then do this. That way, they wouldn't attack Russia and instead they would be busy during that PRECIOUS time getting all their defenses ready for an attack that just wouldn't happen the scale they expected.
