Does anyone on planet Earth remember the reaction from the US when the Soviet Union put missiles on the island nation of Cuba ?

Let's have a referendum about NATO, let's see what people say...

The pairing of financial sanctions with export controls would inflict pain on Russia immediately and over time. The impact of financial sanctions, which could apply to Russia’s largest banks as well as to civilian aerospace, maritime or emerging tech firms, would probably be felt first. Banking sanctions in particular probably would drive up Russian inflation and trigger a devaluation of the ruble.

Crazy that these issues are really amongst a couple rich people & the masses are left to deal with their BS

[Modelimagination]

difference between "looking dangerous" and "being dangerous".Russia describes military doctrine as defensive military doctrine. With regard to nuclear weapons specifically, Russia reserves the right to use nuclear weapons: in response to the use of nuclear and other types of weapons of mass destruction against it or its allies, in case of aggression against Russia with the use of conventional weapons when the very existence of the state is threatened.

oops

google russia deadhand
The 'Perimeter' system, dubbed in the United States and Europe the 'Dead Hand', is an automatic control system for a retaliation nuclear strike. To put it simply, if Russia's territory is devastated after a nuclear attack, the Perimeter system automatically strikes the enemy's territory with its own nuclear missiles.

Ukraine should not be a NATO member!
The best way is to have neutral countries between Russia and NATO borders.

[tal]

Russia can do nothing if NATO is completely integrated and united otherwise example of afganistan is on the table.

War has won, peace has not. Albert Einstein.

[paulfaigl]

Yes. More and more talks. Great. Wonderful. And more blinking.🥺🥺🥺

[foxglove]

Why not strengthen Ukraine economically and keep it as a neutral buffer territory between NATO and Russia? That way Russia doesn't feel like it is being encroached upon (as NATO has been doing for many years) and respond accordingly, and the US can foster Russia as an ally in places like Syria, Iran, Africa etc? The US doesn't really need to be involved here and push Russia into the arms of China...
