The lowest common denominator in both countries will get us all killed.

i did'nt here any applause! and o yea they are the ones with the 2nd largest stockpile of nuclear ability!I dont think we are a threat to them anymore than they too us,but the people they do bussiness with might need to know that they would use those weapons if needed, against them!! kinda like most of the world would like for us to be afraid of the weapons we sold them. none of these ideas were very good too start with but this is the world we live in! russia sold or may be selling nuclear technology to help its economy just like we sell weapons to help ours,smart,No,, but it happens if you want to fix the problem envent a time machine go back and tell the idiots that started all this stupid stuff!

Oppenheimer and quite a few other scientists' working on the manhattan project did not want the atomic bomb dropped on Japan, only demonstrated. They knew better, and they still built the A-bomb, anyway.

The applause that Moray mentioned was in threads' past.

True. Very true.

Preemptive nuclear strike is a base of our military doctrine since early 1990s. We can't afford a full-scale conventional war, so now everyone has to understand that we are ready to answer to any aggression...

As far as I know, Russia has the muscle to blow Europe and the USA back to the stoneage in an unstoppable way. Right Boroda?

If I get walloped by a nuke, I'm guessing there wasn't much to do about it myself anyway. The world's going to hell in a handbasket either by melting, over-deforesting, or massive explosion eventually. Sadly, I can definetly comprehend that my generation will see it.

Here's to the tards. A quote from Ron White: "Hit somethin' hard, I don't wanna limp away from this PoS."
