Next stop Ukraine.

Funny how many people don't remember how pissed off the US got, when the Soviets moved weapons to a country 90 miles from our border...

So pissed that the US tolerated a Soviet Brigade there for thirty years.

We fought two wars, losing almost 100K men, most of whom were killed by weapons from the USSR. Yet we hosted both Kosygin and Brezhnev whole those wars were going on.

Not just weapons, but nuclear missiles (II-28 SRBM; SS-4 IRBM; and SS-5 IRBM). The SS-5 IRBM put the entire continental US within range, except for the extreme Pacific Northwest. The Soviets lied about it when they were confronted, and said the missiles were only “defensive rockets.” Russians lie.

No just weapons but nuclear weapons. Russian forces are still in Cuba.

Such a bogus argument. The Cuban military has used Russian made equipment throughout its existence, and still does. The Cuban Missile Crisis was about nuclear armed missiles supplied by a regime dedicated to world wide communist revolution. Apples and oranges.

Funny how you lie about it. Offensive Nuckear Weapons and tanks are two complete different things

But you can come out of your bunker. The picture is not of US tanks.
