Speaking of intercontinental missiles.

Does an intercontinental nuke stand a chance of hitting its target given how advanced our "anti" systems are?

Please disregard hypersonic missiles. I'm speaking only of conventional intercontinental missiles.

You are neglecting boomers. They lay directly off the coast and no, you cannot intercept them once they launch.

Could you explain why it couldn't be stopped?

They are generally preprogrammed, they do not need to ascend into space to develop a trajectory to target which limits the intercept time, and warheads can be attached to cruise missiles with extremely low trajectory ground hugging radar avoiding packages. Basically too fast, too low.
