ussian lawmakers have accused the U.S. of trying to normalize the concept of nuclear war by staging a mock exercise simulating a nuclear strike against Russia.
The Pentagon completed a "mini-exercise" last week in which "Russia decides to use a low-yield limited nuclear weapon against a site on NATO territory," to which U.S. forces responded with a "limited" nuclear response.
Russian politicians expressed anger at the exercise, accusing the Pentagon of reckless nuclear fear-mongering, The Moscow Times reported.

Everyone does it and nothing is wrong with it but it is better not to tell to the media.
Who leaked this?
Has there been a coup at Newsweak?
Big Media has been telling us Trump does what Russia wants in order to get elected.
Well,
Its election year
And and only 90% tax can save us well 100% to make it fair
.
Earth to Russia, don’t play dumb. We’ve been doing this since 1946 and you know it.
True dat.
And if the Soviet plan for war with NATO had been something that did not include an initial strike with sixty tactical nukes creating a corridor through which the Soviets would advance to the English Channel, The outrage of the Russians might be believable, sort of.
Let’s say the scenario of the exercise is not realistic, true.
Yes, it’s not sick, but it is pretty stupid. If anyone starts a nuclear war, it will not stop at any limit.
The reason we have all these proxy wars is because no nuclear power wants to tangle directly with any other nuclear power. The military is still fighting WWII.
I think WWI is a better example. Everybody believing nuclear war might be limited needs brain implant. Same for the people believing it is winnable.
LOL!
I read your post, laughed, read your screen name, then laughed again!
Since we don’t maintain the Michael Savage threads anymore, it’s good to bump into your posts!
Putin already said he is willing to go nuclear when attempting to intimidate the Baltic states.
Russia has already published as doctrine, it’s intent to initiate the use of tactical nukes, to “de-escalate” any future conflict in which the U.S. engages.
Proving Gen. Patton was right. We should have taken Moscow and killed Stalin
Good times, good times.
But, Trump and Russia are buddies, right?
I disagree. There is no evidence that use of nukes would cause an all-out world nuke war.
It’s just been the cry of anti-war people ever since nukes were invented and now it’s infected everyone.
Exactly. If their military isn't war gaming similar scenarios they aren't doing their jobs. Anyone who believes they are not, should stop consuming oxygen the rest of us could use.
