"you'll have the largest nuclear weapons arsenal in the world staring down at the very existence of that nation"

Do you really think that Russian government and military would kill in cold blood tens of millions of people over Putin's fate?

Besides, they would be too busy jockeying for power after Putin is out of the game.

So you want to play a game of Russian roulette? If you and your kind are the only potential victims I'd say go for it. Otherwise thanks but no.

  • My point is that no game of Russian roulette would be played in this case.

    "If you and your kind are the only potential victims I'd say go for it."

    That's a lot of hate towards me and 'my kind'.

    • There is no hate here. If you want to risk your existence go ahead. We live in a free world. If you want to endanger my life - well fuck you.

      I am having trouble finding any hate in here.

    • If I were South African, I'd want my government to not risk nuclear annihilation (or even blackmail) - however small the risk may be.

      And if you aren't South African, and especially if you live in a country under NATO's nuclear umbrella, you have no business telling them they should risk their lives (for whatever reason).
