“Russia has presumably never aimed nukes at the United States”

Even today Russia has its nuclear arsenal aimed at the United States. They have a doomsday device primed to launch a “response” at the US if nuclear detonations are detected. It was designed to override the insubordination of a Soviet who refused a “mutually assured destruction” launch order in the 1980s.

It was designed to override the insubordination of a Soviet who refused a “mutually assured destruction” launch order in the 1980s.

What if in the near future, there's a nuclear detonation in the Middle East as the result of one of those countries going to full-blown nuclear war? Would Russia's D-Day device launch towards us?
