Because you know ABSOLUTEFUCKINGLY NOTHING. I'm telling you: If Mr. Putin loses patience, he'll just nuke the West. And you want to goad him into that. Real smart.

Stupid kids these days never grew up under the shadow of Mutually Assured Destruction

I'm 54, and I know perfectly well what MAD is. When you assume ignorance on the other party, you should probably question whether said other party knows something you don't.

Apparently, you don't understand the fact that Russia has hypersonic missiles and that the USA do not. Please tell me, what is the fly time of an Avangard missle (OFFICIALLY up to Mach 25) from the closest part of Russia to Seattle? To New York? I'll give you a hint: officially, it's a bit less than 5 minutes. https://www.newsweek.com/russia-missile-could-hit-us-five-minutes-1339811

But wait, what about the fly time from a submarine or missile ship in the ocean somewhere?

What is the detection time for a Poseidon submarine that starts just outside of the USA territorial waters, headed for any coastal city? Does a submarine even trigger a retaliatory launch before it blows up the coast?

THERE IS NO TIME FOR A RETALIATORY LAUNCH. THE USA IS GLASS BEFORE THEY REALIZE A LAUNCH HAPPENED.

On top of all this, you have to realize: Once Norway and Sweden (or Ukraine) are part of NATO, Russia is fucked UNLESS they launch. They MIGHT stand a chance if they do, thanks to their smart, steering, unimaginably fast missiles. But they know they're 100% fucked if they don't.

So tell me again, what will Putin do?

Why would I care about America?
Biden doesnt care about America
The President doesnt care about America
For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power

Also: I wasnt accusing you of not knowing anything. I was agreeing with you about neomarxist_bullshit of being a stupid kid who didnt live through having to hide under the desk with his hands over his head. or listen to the terrifying nuclear warning sirens or the radio alerts
I'd forgotten how scary that was.

Oh, hey, sorry, because of the way Saidit is made, I couldn't see that my response was to another username, but now I realize you just came into the discussion. My apologies for the confusion.
