U.S. B-52 bombers and around 60 other aircraft are taking part in NATO’s weeks-long nuclear exercise, which kicks off on Monday amid Russian threats of nuclear war.
According to a statement by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), 14 countries and up to 60 aircraft will take part in the nuclear exercise known as “Steadfast Noon.” A NATO official said part of the exercise would be held more than 625 miles from Russia, VOA reported.
NATO described the exercise as “a routine, recurring training activity” that is “not linked to any current world events.”

Russia has at its disposal 6,000 nuclear warheads and its military doctrine explicitly states that it will (not can) use them before it will accept an existential military defeat.
routine exercises like this are important
We wouldn’t let them in Cuba. Perspective
The ‘Armageddon scenario ‘ has been possible since the 60s, peaking in the 80s. It’s nothing new. We don’t give in to nuclear blackmailing which is what this is about. They threaten to bomb us, we threaten to bomb them back to the Stone Age.

What usual headline?
same to you Irish Commie
We are at war with Russia. The threat is real this time, even probable now. You ignore the present, pretending the past is the same as today.
“ We wouldn’t let them in Cuba. Perspective”
Yes but we did not invade or threaten Cuba so Cubans had no reason to deploy missiles other than for offense. Russia on the other hand is a rogue state with a history of invading and occupying countries. Nuclear weapons in the vicinity of the Russian border is for *defense*. See what happens when a nation neighboring Russia is not nuclear armed or part of a defensive alliance and refuses to kowtow to the Russians ? They get invaded, annexed and brutalized.
I look forward to being nuked over a dong measuring contest.
This annual exercise took place under Trump and would not have been canceled by him.
It’s not routine.
They are in a hot war. This is inciting.
Wanna make it so we don't care what happens with Russia and Ukraine?

We should quit paying our farmers to waste farmland either growing ethanol or laying fallow. We can be our own bread basket if we need to, and much of Europe's too.

It’s been that way for longer than I’d care to admit.
It says new, but fine. Still we wouldn’t be on the brink of a nuclear war.
You must not have a high functioning reasoning ability.
But there's this 3 percent that get on the Internet, and go Full Retard, and can't be talked back from it.
