In August 1961, during a period when tensions between Washington and Moscow were at a high point, Admiral Konstantin I. Derevyanko penned a letter to Premier Krushchev. His purpose was to alert Krushchev to what the Admiral called the “nuclear romanticism” of the Soviet General Staff. The Admiral’s words still carry the force of logic and common sense and are still worthy of our attention today:
Which planet do these people [the Soviet General Staff] intend to live on in the future, and to which Earth do they plan to send their troops to conquer territories?... By this indiscriminately massive use of nuclear weapons on a small and narrow area like Western Europe, we would not only be accepting millions of radioactively contaminated civilians, but, because of the prevailing westerly winds, would also be radioactively contaminating millions of our own people for decades—our armed forces and the populations of the socialist countries, including our own country as far as the Urals.

Soon...but not yet...
Don’t! Don’t don’t don’t....is not a policy, strategy, or tactic.
I’d rather see USAF, which is deployed to do the job...get it done (in less than one hour).
Then there would be more threats from the Iranian crackpots that USA is their socalled Big Satan and that they will nuke 7 or 8 of our major cities, blah blah blah
when obviously-crazy dictators threaten you, over and over again, it pays to listen and not ignore their threats. especially when they’re building ICBMs to deliver their threatened nuclear bombs to America (the ICBM’s are not needed for Iran to bomb Arabia or the Emirates or Israel)
Well, this is a twist on the usual nuclear threats from you Ruzzia lovers. Now you think Israel would be as moronic as Ruzzia? LOL.
I wonder. I am still amazed, though, that for about 20 years now (since George Bush was President)—our government has been telling us that Iran was only about a year away from a nuclear bomb. Hmmmm...
Israel will so what it needs to do. MY War is HERE!A
I assume the Israelis have MOABs that can do the same damage as a nuke without the radiation.
Would Israel go nuclear against Iran?
Yes. Definitely. Been their policy since they got nuclear weapons, decades ago.
Just like the Good ‘ol U.S. of A., Israel has submarines. In fact, after Oct 7th, I researched. Israel now has submarines with cruise missiles. God forbid anyone attacks Israel with a nuke(s), the attacker could regret it. Considering Israel’s Iron Dome, David’s Sling and Arrow anti-missile systems, their own nuclear arsenal will no doubt be formidable.
Yea and for 30 years they've been telling us that there are eleven million illegal aliens here. They can't give good figures because they don't want to collect them. Hmmmm...
im quite confident that the Israelis could, or already have, found things nuclear in Iran, and know where, and when to put it out of business.
I’m sure Israel knows otherwise.
Shut up Meg!😂🤡
Russia lover? Hardly. I’m America First. I don’t support Russia, Ukraine, Iran or Israel at the expense of America. I want no more American tax dollars spent in Europe or the ME. I want those dollars spent here or given back to us. I absolutely do not want to see American boys killed to defend no one but Americans. You bloodthirsty neocon globohomo stooges only want to kill, kill, kill, spend, spend, kill! Anyone your warmongering MIC oligarchs tell you you want to kill, like 500,000 Uke soldiers or 15,000 Palestinian children, you’re all in for it. I don’t even think getting an additional 100,000 American boys killed would satiate your sickening bloodlust. Those countries want to start wars, fine. Let THEM fight their wars. Unfortunately, big cowardly warmongers like you sit at home and cheer on the death, much too cowardly to put YOUR blood on the line.
“Shut up Meg!😂🤡”
Yes, you are a pathetic little clown with nothing intelligent to say.
Still with the Hamas propaganda. Mos/of the other stuff you say is quite true.
Hugs and kisses from Mother Russia!
Putin 2024 :)
Trump 2024! Make Oil Great Again!
Putin Dead In 2024.
