In an age of ICBMs with MIRVs, how relevant is it to station nukes close to their possible targets?
EDIT: Come on, this is a genuine question, has missile defence technology become good enough that it can defend against a missile with MIRVs launched from the other side of the world but not against those launched from a closer country?
Personally, i’d recommend Perun’s excellent video on the topic of your curious on the present state of nuclear deterrence, though it is several months old at this point.

Interesting, thank you, it seems like this subject is something I need more up to date info about, I’ll have to do some reading later!
