⚠️ What Does This Mean for the World?
The Satan 2 missile represents the doctrine of Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD). Its purpose is deterrence: “If you strike us, we’ll wipe you out.”
However, its presence increases global geopolitical tension, symbolizing Russia’s advanced military might and its ability to influence through fear.
