IMO the Putin announcement is 100% a scare tactic. Nuclear weapons are always "on alert" to be launched quickly. Isn't that the point? Nuclear forces are never put into some "dormant" or "inactive" state where it'd take days or weeks to get them ready.
I bet that gives the former Warsaw Pact members great enjoyment sticking it to the Russians any way they can.
Couple of years ago all you Trump followers were advocating the disbanding of NATO and now it is a bad idea. Are you ever consistent?
It was a bad idea then and it's a bad idea now.
Most importantly Poland must be loving this. They get to see the struggles of the Russian military, they get to see the Russian economy get nuked, and now they can get rid of Soviet era military equipment with promises of the US quickly filling the losses with US equipment.
Let's just hope that Putin's last gasp is to not destroy civilization on his way out.
What? The pacifist of Europe and the rapist of all countries with a dime to spend has agreed to pull their own weight? F'm I hope they get invaded next by Russia just because I hate those slimy narcissistic bastards.Some do some dont..this is not a Dem/R issue. Of course Germany just committed to the 2% of GDP that someone advocated
