Attack at your own peril. Dig out your globe. If you were in Murmansk and 
wanted to attack a US target where would your missile fly? If you were in 
the US where would you  try to make an intercept? It's a different 
situation than the Chinese 'weather balloon' that drifted over Montana a 
couple of years back. The first civilian spotting was over Montana. Being 
cowboys the first response was to use the puppy for target practice but 
Sleepy Joe said to let it go.

Another bit of history form previous great ideas. It was an interesting 
tour. Unlike the movies if the launch command is given the operators pick 
one of three targets but don't know the target coordinates. The rocket 
uses a hypergolic propellant based on hydrazine. One of the exhibits is 
the mixing unit. Once the process starts the missile is going to go 
someplace. There is no off button. Don't drop your wrench.
