Its a very good question to ask. In the Princeton nuclear war scenario Russia hits the EU with a tactical nuke, and the EU responds, and the nuclear exchange ratchets up the scale, would the US nuke Russia under Article 5 knowing Russia would respond? Is the US bound by honor? I'd say yes, but democrats are unpredictable.
Most of people, including many Americans, believe that US honor is quite limited. Many believe that the USA will betray Europe (or Europe will betray America) for some money (even without actual threat for human life) to half of US population (with most popular point of view about 20 mln killed). Whatever are your obligations and if Russians can kill more than 20 mln Americans and right now you can make a reliable peace with Russia, well in this situation America wouldn't attack Russia first, whatever Russia do with Europeans (including nuclear strikes).
You don't present any "facts" showing a recent genocide of Russians, you just call me a Nazi for saying there is/was no genocide of Russians, nor would there be. NATO countries focus on economies and prosperity, not invading Russia for no reason.
Their way to improve their economy is robbery, invasion and genocide. And they always invade Russia (at least twice a century). And, of course, you are a Nazi if you believe that Russian lifes are cheaper than Albanian ones.
We'll see. If they misuse a nuke they risk extermination. Not worth the risk.
If they don't use nukes - you'll kill most of them and turn leftovers into slaves, and take their land and resources. That's what Americans did with Native Americans. So, any risk worth freedom. You see, rabbit is usually more determined than a fix, because rabbit is risking with his life and fox is risking with his launch.
And even fighting without chances may be seen as good alternative to slavery. "Give me freedom or give me death".
Not a lie to say no one is threatening Russia's survival with a first-strike. We would not attack first.
Yep. The same things you said to Iranian leadership, inviting them to negotiations and then you murdered them. We can't gamble with national security.
Like someone hid a bomb in their US embassy, know what I mean jellybean?
It is not a lie to say if Russia launches nukes we will respond, and Russia will be even more of a wasteland than it is now.
It is a lie. If Russia launches nukes POTUS will decide if he retaliate or not retaliate. And even if he decided "retaliate" it will harm Russia, but definitely not destroy.
