> The fact is, the US has enough active missile defense that if all out nuclear war were to happen, the US would likely survive and Russia wouldn't

This is just blatantly false. GMD, on paper, could intercept maybe 10-20 missiles by design. And the accuracy and reliability of that system is severely in question. The Aegis Ballistic Missile defense really can’t be expected to intercept ICBMs either, outside of certain conditions.
