Is it really wisdom to dismiss these warnings as "saber-rattling"?

Yes.

Russia isn't going to do a damn thing about it because they can't do anything about. They'll make a big deal out of Europe suffering because of a lack of Russian fossil fuels, and claim that is their revenge.

When they were humiliated in Afghanistan, the Russians didn't use nukes despite the US providing the Afghanis with critical weapons. Had they threatened it, Reagan would have told them to pound sand.

When the Russians were forced to pull out of Eastern Europe, they didn't nuke anybody then either. And when the Soviet Union disintegrated around them, and all the constituent republics went their own way, they still didn't use nukes.

Then we come to Ukraine. The pro-Russia crowd has warned us from the beginning that if we sent supplies to Ukraine through Poland, they'd bomb Poland and start World War III. Didn't happen. They told us if we started sending weapons systems like tanks and artillery to Ukraine, it would start World War 3. Once again, that didn't happen either.

So now, another Russia apologist is telling us that if two small countries that haven't fought an offensive war against Russia in hundreds of years are permitted to join NATO, that will cause World War 3.

Sure it will. Sure.

You get it. As we used to say in the old Cold War, “Just say nyet to Russian nuclear blackmail.”

And just what did we do when the stone age warriors of Afghanistan forced us out of Afghanistan just last year in a wild chaotic manner, after slaughtering 13 of our troops in the airport “protected zone”?
