    Probably because the US is spending every last dollar it has to surround Russia with military bases, so Russia feels like it needs to continue to escalate its nuclear first strike capabilities.

      But what’s the point? It’s not like you can recall the missile once it’s launched, so what is the US supposed to do? Wait 3-5 business days for the impact? No, they’ll just launch their average 15 minute ICBMs.
