I don't know if this thread is one of the banned threads that will soon be closed. Is this politics?

In any case, once we put aside some rather silly fantasies, including my own science-fiction scenario, the reality is that we are living on borrowed time, until the leaders of all the nuclear powers get together and agree on total nuclear disarmament. Our tech people are working on missile defense. But it seems that could be overcome by building enough missiles to overwhelm the defense. Putin made that point years ago.

Yes

In general, politicians make statements for various reasons. I don't think any of the two economies is ready for another cold war.

That's what politicians do, it's a requirement for the job.
