As far as I undestand our missles are not aimed at anyone but the can be aimed anywhere in the world.

We've got all these missiles sitting in silos and submarines, etc. We can have them aimed at nothing in particular, or we can have them targeted at Russians missiles. I would hope it's the latter.
