Putin: Long-range missile approval will put NATO 'at war' with Russia
The Russian president says it would "significantly change" the nature of the Ukraine conflict and amount to "nothing less than direct involvement of NATO countries".

On the one hand it would be hilarious to see america get absolutely washed in a war. On thr other hand it wouldn't be fair to all the people this would kill.
Indeed, also seems like a direct confrontation between US and Russia would almost certainly go nuclear.
I feel like mad still applies but this time we don't have the trust worthy ussr. Like, they multiple times didn't shoot when it woudl ahve been justified. Modern Russia would absolutely would press the button
Yeah, the situation is a lot more volatile today. I watched this interview with a prof at MIT researching nuclear proliferation, and what he says is absolutely harrowing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RH7LT1bIdpY

Stalin, on the other hand, would absolutely push the button
No he wouldn't. History shows us he values humanity moreso than acts of suicidal bravado.
It's worth noting that Fidel couldn't have pressed the button even if he wanted to, because the nukes were under the direct control of the USSR. At one point he did sendt a telegram to Khrushchev saying to launch the nukes if the US invaded Cuba, and IIRC Robert MacNamara later recounted that Fidel told him he would have approved of the use of tactical nuclear weapons.
It is suicidal bravado as evidence of your own comment of the suicidal bravado of Fidel's willingness to plunge the world into nuclear hellfire were he in charge of nuclear armaments and not the Soviet Union.
Oh damn, that is a good point.
Yeah Putin doesn’t have much time left on this earth. I think he is going to ruin it for the rest of us on his way out.
I mean the winning play is always to wait out the US. Whatever he ends up doing to destroy the US is a good in a global context. Just like, it would suck to have to be in the cool part of the history book
The United States Empire doesn't have much time left on this earth. I think they are already into the process of ruining it for the rest of us on their way out.
Given Russia's performance in the war so far sadly for you I don't think the US getting washed is in the cards
It looks like they dug in and are just letting us grow weak over time. Which is a method consistently shown to beat the us.
