“IMHO we should withdraw from NATO, if by doing so we can get some foreign policy shifts from Russia.”

Withdrawing from NATO has a finality to it. Russian promises on the other hand last exactly as long as they care to keep them. Might be broken the next week as was the case with Jalta agreements of allowing free elections in the territories under their control. Russians have shown they don’t value keeping their word.

I wasnt aware that we still had nukes deployed to Turkey. I knew JFK pulled them out a half-century ago, but with cruise missiles able to decimate most Russian cities, who needs ‘em?

Not on IRBMs. Bombs that can be loaded on, say, an F-15E.
