'Russian threat' is fraught with NATO disintegration

[Ringel05]

So the game of power and control between nations continues apace....... Color me shocked........ Not........

It´s very sad and not in our interest.

You keep telling yourself that.

You can see your benefits when a maltreated country suddenly has nukes. Your government is already telling you how to protect yourself from a nuclear explosion like in the cold war.

The first nation that uses nukes will have the whole world turn against them, every nation knows this. Obviously you're knowledge of the never ending "power game" is horribly limited. Every nation knows that the US is currently the big dog on the block and act accordingly meaning they do what they think is in their own best interests. If that means playing ball with the US for the time being then they do so, if it means playing ball with, say Russia or China or Iran, etc then that's what they do for the time being. Russia wants it's sphere of influence back, plus, plus, plus, that's to be expected, China wants to expand it's sphere of influence and most European countries have given up there quest for world influence and are simply following one or the other.

China is rapidly expanding it's sphere of influence by economic means. while we sit and moan about their military. Just as they wish. Nukes are the key to keeping the major nations from fighting world wars. MAD is mad, but the logic is there. Except for the small nations with leaders that cannot see anything in global context. Now should a major nation get such a leader, then we are in trouble. Then again, maybe we are in trouble.

You appear to desperately want to believe the clueless clown currently occupying the White house may be such a leader. That speaks volumes about you.
