Do you think it's tit for tat?
We launch. They show they still can, too.

We launch. They show they still can, too. The Russians aren't concerned about us. They know we'll never get into it with them, and in our own perverse way we have a certain amount of respect for them and they have a certain amount of respect for us as an adversary. The Cold War was a game well-played even though we won.
The Russian missile capability is really a defensive measure for all practical purposes, as they can't really project force very well. They are FAR more interested in making sure that China is paying attention than us. The Russians are far from stupid; they know who the real threat is.
