Not the downvoter, but how about you explaining how restarting nuclear disarmament talks is selling out the American people?
The world is closer to nuclear war now then ever in history. It is now 89 seconds to midnight
Simple, without nukes we'll have war, real war, real dead Americans. Most of the reason the doomsday clock is so close right now, is because of Trump. His flippant bullshit about Gaza enraged the Arab world, stepping them closer to nuclear war. His attempts at peace in Ukraine, without involving the Ukrainians, is more likely to cause Ukraine to escalate. His defense secretary just told the Russian's they could defeat the US Navy. Definitely bullshit, but also makes Russia think they can start more shit, probably starting a wider war with NATO.
Nuclear weapons didn't prevent Ukraine. We just got closer to annihilation than ever.
They sure at shit would have.
Putin only invaded because Ukraine voluntarily disarmed after promises of protection from the US.
And the threat of all those Western nuclear powers in Ukraine didn't make Putin blink. Instead we just got closer to nuclear war than any time in recent memory.
