I forgot that Vietnam shares a border with the US, is very close to the US capital, and was in discussions with the US adversaries to stage their troops in Vietnamese territories.
Thanks for bringing up the example.
- KptMarchewa 2y agoThose damn Ukrainians, trying insolently to live their lives next to russian capital.
- DSingularity 2y agoReally? It’s absolutely not that Ukrainians are cooperating with western lunatics trying to undermine MAD by deploying nuclear capable weapon systems all over the Russian borders? MAD prevented WW3. What do you think happens if the US thinks it can cause significantly more harm to China and Russia through first strikes?
- aguaviva 2y agoBy deploying nuclear capable weapon systems all over the Russian borders? There's no evidence for the existence of such a plan. And (prior to the invasion) there wasn't even an active plan to bring Ukraine into NATO. It was taken firmly off the table in 2008. It's just a dictator lying to you, and his own people. It's what they do for breakfast. This really shouldn't come as any kind of a surprise.
- DSingularity 2y agoMaybe you haven’t noticed recently how there already western weapon systems actively striking targets within Russia. Those same systems can deliver nuclear payloads. So what your are saying is a falsehood based on the current realities on the ground.
- aguaviva 2y agoThose same systems can deliver nuclear payloads. Which, specifically? I suppose any of the thousands of regular aircraft that Ukraine has "could" deliver a nuclear payload. But that would be a pretty stupid way to launch a first strike, and doesn't change the MAD equation in any way.
