Putin’s invincible nukes

Yeah... nothing worrying about ex-KGB dictators with bare-back horse fetisjisms owning invincible nuclear weapons...
However, seemingly the US and China are developing nukes along the same lines... just to balance the lunacy.
And, there’s nothing alarming about a tiny, authoritarian bastard or a narcissistic, bumbling geriatric owning those weapons either.
We are doomed, I tells ya, doooomed!
Discuss.
From the BBC:
In his remarks, Mr Putin highlighted the development of two new nuclear delivery systems, which, he said, could evade US anti-ballistic missile defences.
This is essentially because neither of them are ballistic missiles, which are fired out of the atmosphere in a high-arcing trajectory.
One - effectively a very long-range nuclear-tipped torpedo - has been rumoured to be under development since Soviet days but is now seen by US analysts as a credible theat.
The second system - described by Mr Putin as a cruise missile - looks to be more of a work in progress and may be a kind of very high-speed "hypersonic" system - described by one arms control expert as a "glider on steroids" - that again could evade existing anti-missile defences.
China and the US are also working on similar systems of their own.
