Nukes that will never be fired!
Russia is weak. All they have is their threat of nuclear annihilation, which would ironically include their own demise as well. Ukraine has proven Russia is not strong from a conventional lens, and nukes will not happen.
And anyway, before joining NATO Finland and Sweden did not have nuclear weapons targeting them, but would still have been greatly affected if a NATO-Russia nuclear exchange happened. Heck, even Swaziland and New Zealand would be affected if a major nuclear exchange happened.
So, there is no real threat difference to Finland and Sweden if they join NATO. It would be exactly the same …but at least now they are part of a strong group.
Russia really should have stayed out of Ukraine. They have absolutely destroyed their menacing image.
“Nukes that will never be fired!”
Link please.
I hope you are correct. HOWEVER, given the decisions made to get their asses kicked in Ukraine, I am concerned that logic and analysis is somewhat lacking or even co.orompromised on the Rooskie side of the equation.
