    Let’s take this metaphor at face value for a second.

    What in the endless litany of grievances you call history could possibly justify pressing the launch button at this particular junction in time?

    I’m serious, make the best possible case you can for Russia starting a nuclear war right now.

      That the US is letting Ukraine use NATO missiles and guidance systems that could carry a nuclear warhead they’ve ALWAYS kept a doctrine of first use for. This new doctrine is still not as aggressive as the American one, and this was the entire reason for the conflict, NATO not pointing nuclear weapons at Russia minutes from Moscow. This latest attack was aiming for nuclear infrastructure. How much more provocative does it get?

      Americans really need to shut the fuck up about Russia starting a nuclear war when they’re the ones instigating and funding conflict and blocking the peace talks Ukrainians want. When Iran gets tired of Israel and the US endlessly massacring civilians over there you chicken hawk libs are gonna pretend they developed nuclear weapons just to be mean.

      You really really care about the Ukraine war? Get shipped there so they don’t have to kidnap citizens out of weddings to put them on the front line. Otherwise, shut up and stop trying to kill the rest of us with you.

        ATACMS is not a declared nuclear capable system according to the bilateral and multilateral treaties either country is a part of. Also, remind me what happened to the INF treaty again?

        The fact that you have a nuclear first use doctrine does not mean use of nuclear weapons is justified in any scenario. You have offered no justifications.
