I stand corrected o tat point then, but none of those nuclear weapons were launchable from the nations that were housing them without the Soviet Union’s or later, Russia’s authorization for them to be launched. By authorization, I mean direct actions taken that open up the ability to launch via actions, not just verbale approval. 🙂👍

That's fine. Your post just didn't sit well with my memory, and resulting propensity to finger the neocon RINOs when appropriate. As is obvious from the historical record, this disaster in Ukraine was a combined effort spanning 35 years.

Sometimes I wonder if this nation's people are due a comeuppance for the perfidy of their "leaders." "Fat, dumb, and happy" comes to mind, only now not so happy.
