Definite no. The US can't even get one person into orbit now. And we still have trouble spotting inbound unarmed unshielded rocks and have minimal ability to kill or deflect same rocks. Sure, we have bucket fulls of nukes, but they aren't mounted on ready to launch interplanetary capable boost vehicles.

Maybe SpaceX will help launch those nukes
