The only possible way Russia is a threat to the west is with his nukes. If he uses his nukes he knows absolutely and without question he will die and his country will be totally destroyed, as would America. We want to put NATO on his border 300 miles from Moscow. Conventionally, Russia has zero chance against a NATO conventional attack. He would be rolled over and pulverized. NATO could be in Moscow in two or three days. The only time the US faced a similar situation to Russia’s current one, the United States would have blown up the world to stop the same threat that you pooh, pooh Putin for even noticing. You attitude and DC’s, if acted upon, could very well kill everyone you have ever known. Over what? Nguyen Van Zelenskyy’s corrupt regime.
Moving NATO to Russias doorstep was a huge miscalculation. Do you think Russia stops at Ukraine if we do not stop him there?
Or does it embolden dreams of putting a post Soviet empire back together?
Acknowledging NATO membership dangling mistakes, where do we go from here.
We want to put NATO on his border 300 miles from Moscow.
***We’re already about 500 miles, in Estonia and Lithuania. Why this big INVASION worthy difference? It’s a bullshiite excuse.
But does he know that both of us will be destroyed in a nuclear exchange?
And does he truly believe our leadership would launch or would we back down?
Would our current command structure launch?
Or be given orders to?
MAD only works if both sides buy in to the concept.
Does that threat change, president to.president?
