    if china puts nuclear bombs in Mexico and Canada, what will be the reaction of US ?

    People have been completely brainwashed to believe that the war in Ukraine occurred just because of Putin’s imperial ambitions, which is obviously a factor. it was always known that nato expansion will trigger a war. US pushed for it because it wanted a war.

      That logic would make sense except for the fact that the war just caused more countries to join NATO. Surely Putin could see that coming by invading Ukraine again. He is evil not stupid.

      The truth of the matter is Putin didn’t care what the cost was, he just wanted Ukraine back as part of Russia because it would cement his legacy to the Russian populace.

      Also your logic about nuclear bombs in Mexico and Canada makes no sense when hyperballistic ICBMs are a thing. It doesn’t matter where the nukes are.

      If you’re gonna make a point about strategic positioning at least make a good one instead of the straw man scary nuclear bomb argument that is only used for emotional reasons.

        Counterforce doctrine memes from people who think a nuclear war is winnable and that losing tens of millions of people to the nukes that sneak through are just acceptable losses
