Right now they could nuke us whenever they wanted and we couldn’t stop it, and they have no space nukes.
I’m guessing a space based nuke would have a shorter time from “launch” to impact, but it wouldn’t be instantaneous, and unless tgey put a huge number of them up there, which I’d think would be prohibitively expensive, they wouldn’t be able to degrade our second strike capability, so MAD still exists for deterrence.
