> What nukes? That’s a strange question. Are you asking in good faith? You’re asking me to tell you which specific nukes? Can you tell me what the choices are here? Is there a kind of nuke that is acceptable to host at the missile “defense” site?
You said you can retrofit the defensive missile system to launch nukes yet cannot name a single nuke it launch?. So you _certain_ it can launch a nuke yet cannot even name a single type of nuke it can launch?.
> USA has long since invaded, stolen, annexed and subjugated all the lands around it (manifest destiny). It has long ago staked its claim on the entire hemisphere as its protectorate, explicitly foreign foreign powers cannot come and meddle there (Monroe doctrine). It has since then gone around the world and did that same exact type of meddling — with disastrous results — in pretty much every country on earth! We have 800 bases around the world, which is 30x more than the rest of the world combined. We spend more on the military than the next 10 countries, including our own allies. It is a real problem that US Americans seem to only focus on other countries and call them out for the very things that their own country has done and is currently doing, while insisting they have nothing to worry about and if they respond in ANY WAY they’re the aggressor!!
Cool,
But this is about Russia.
Russia is the one who expands NATO due to Russias actions, if Russia was capable of not being a shitty neighbour then theres a good chance NATO would be at least (two (soon)) members smaller.
> Nations need protection from the US, which is the only country on earth today that conducts drone strikes in multiple far-away sovereign countries, blowing up weddings, funds rebels and destabilizes countries on a mass scale, does regime change in dozens of countries around the world, sometimes leaving the country devastated (Iraq, Libya) and bouncing to the next.
Cool then they can enter an alliance to do so if they want (like CSTO).
I fully support this if countries feel this way.

Your source doesn't seem so good to be honest.

- EGreg 3y agoNukes can be placed on many different delivery mechanisms, including planes and missiles. Any type of nuke is too destructive to ignore, placing them too close to Russia cuts the chance of interception. Iran can also claim that its nuclear enrichment is peaceful, and they have no intention (FOR NOW!) of developing nuclear weapons. Why not just believe them? That logic is native and stupid. Country leaders aren’t supposed to totally ignore the very real possibility that experts say is easy to achieve. “Cool. But this is about Russia.” Funny how this tactic is used over and over by the USA. “Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain, that’s whataboutism.” “Stop pointing out double standards and hypocrisy, that’s whataboutism.” “We are only here to talk about this other country. Sure if the situation was reversed we’d do a lot worse, but this isn’t about us.” Oh how convenient. The same tactic is used by pretty much anyone with an agenda. Everyone outside the bubble is rightly exasperated by this technique of shutting down all possible good faith discussion. It is also why the rest of the world outside the NATO bubble (especially the global south) doesn’t buy what the US is selling… neither that NATO is purely defensive, nor that US hegemony is a net good, nor that Russia’s reaction was “unprovoked”. Really, people polled around the world outside the NATO bubble blame NATO and USA. For years, since 2003 at least. Every year. It’s just not reported here. I am glad you support countries joining military alliances against each other. Worked very well for triggering WW1, but I’m sure that will never happen again. By the way, joining an economic alliance like BRICS is far more peaceful and I support it. > “Your source” Did you watch the video? I don’t care who says the facts as long as they say true facts. The substance is what matters. The pitch where the guy attempts to invite his viewers to learn how to be unscrupulous comes at the very end of the video - I found it weird and ignored it. The rest of the video is great and exposes BlackRock’s role in plundering Ukraine. But hey — we know how the establishment operates by now. Assange reveals their corruption, but they are more upset that it was revealed, not the corruption itself. And same here. The video exposes the truth with all mainstream sources - so adhominem and don’t watch it!

Gallup: "Counter to some impressions, the U.S. and its allies aren’t the only ones who care about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Gallup surveys in 137 countries show Russia’s image has suffered worldwide since it began its war in Ukraine. For the first time in Gallup’s history of tracking ratings of world leaders, the majority of the world disapproves of Russia’s leadership." https://news.gallup.com/poll/474596/russia-suffers-global-rebuke-invasion.aspx https://news.gallup.com/poll/474596/russia-suffers-global-re...
