And my position is the opposite of what you are reacting against. Yes, one-sided standards like that should be rejected. If we accept that major world powers having their tentacles all over the place is simply the behavior of rational actors - and I think that we do - then don't be like the...

As conspiracy ideas go, it's quite a vintage one. And it's not as if the West doesn't "meddle" all over the world. But I suppose to you that's different.

I doubt that would work.. it's a bit too far north of the tropics.

If you are talking about a military base in peacetime, that can make sense. But in wartime, in trenches on the front lines?

Not likely. For one thing, I doubt they'll have the resources. This war is chewing them up badly. And the West, while happy to give them conventional hardware, tends to be not-too-helpful about any country, even a close ally, wanting to join the Nuclear Club.

No it isn't. Moving the nukes to a new place makes that new place somewhere that NATO dare not attack, precisely because of the "use it or lose it" factor. If you launch anything at those nukes, by the time your munitions arrive, the nukes will have already left their silos and be heading your...

Calling it "spite" implies that they themselves gain nothing from it. But the poster you were responding to had just explained what they would gain from it - the long-term weakening of an enemy. Because the Great Game is not decided by one battle or another... it has been going on for...

But how much of it will be?

As others have replied, lots of people in Eastern Europe have a historical memory regarding Jews and the political causes they aligned themselves with. But in a more general sense - you don't need to hate anyone to not believe that people of a totally different culture and religion should be...

Do you mind if I quote that?

That is sounding like something that has happened before.

They have, probably a few times over. But NATO keeps replacing it.

Something I found posted out there... comments?

If the war is still going on, and on, and on... Trump will run on a platform of bringing it to an end.

People demanding to know things will be low down on the list of things to worry about.

This. Also, they don't keep their subs out in the ocean like the Americans do.

So that they could have something utterly horrible to blame on the Russians.

But because the bomb does not care who planted it, it will kill everyone there just the same.

Or maybe Ukraine is planning to blow the dam, and blame it on the Russians...

Which amplifies my point. Gorbachev did not want to collapse the USSR, but he could not prevent it.
