    Really?

    So a war with the US means they automatically attack every nation in the world huh?

    Yes, NATO alliance dictates and they have the capability to do just this.
    Not every nation of course, just your 27 allied ones.

    The idea that they won't target all your military is for the birds.
    These will be priority targets.

    Why would they leave their enemies alive?
    What is the gain in this?

    Naturally it will. Or did you think that the Russians would leave the possibility of a military response from the Allies?
    If the hooligans want to attack you, won't you beat all the hooligans? Or will you wait for the attacker's allies to hit you?
    Or another example. On the territory of Germany, Poland, Romania ... Australia and so on have Is American weapons. For example rockets or ships with rockets. Do you really think that Russians will not attack American missiles? Naturally, they will apply attack on these objects. Therefore, everyone who adopts American weapons should think that they automatically become a priority target for Russian missiles.

    Who are you to judge?
    The troll with a rug on the wall at home? Who has nothing else to do but go on a foreign forum and unload propaganda crap?
    Lenin used to call people like you useful.

    Pretty pathetic, really.

    Spook - almost all of those tests were underground - there is still radiation in the ground from those tests but this is not what the point is.

    Much of the immediately lethal radiation from an above ground - but at ground (as opposed to an air burst) dissipates rather quickly - in a week or two.

    The problem is that exposure during that first week kills you. Sure - there will be some that manage to avoid such exposure but, they still have to survive the myriad of other issues.

    Those that do survive - their lives are completely ruined. Your claim of half the population is based on what ? That is way too high. We are talking a full on nuclear apocalypse here.

    How do 200 million people survive without food, and water and no help coming for a long long time ?

    The entire power grid is gone - taking many years to rebuild. There is no transportation - the electronics are fried and what does survive - there is no fuel.

    US backed? I'm pretty sure US forces were there.

    I thought it was an example of the CIA bankrolling Islamic lunatics who later attacked our country.

    Anyway, that was a proxy war. A naval blockade is a direct attack on Russia. Do you see the difference?

    Russia has nuclear weapons, enough to destroy American civilization. One error could lead to the annihilation of everything you hold dear.

    You have expressed your intent to commit hostilities against a sovereign nation.

    US and Russian forces were not directly engaged. Russian forces were engaged with a US proxy. That makes it a proxy war.

    A naval blockade is done directly, not by proxy.

    See the difference my bro?

    Russia doesn’t have enough.
    At the height of the arms race it did, but not anymore.

    They have enough nukes to destroy every major city in the US several times over. That would represent the end of American civilization.

    Do you have any idea of the blast radius of an average atom bomb warhead?

    No wonder the right don't have any fear at all about Russia or Putin. The amount of knowledge you have about Russia can fit on the head of a pin.

    Why don’t you share your rich knowledge about Russia and prove me wrong?

    That's what books and articles are for, do your own homework and stop being so lazy.

    You seem to lack the conceptual understanding of what an Internet political forum is.

    No, it was a proxy war for us, not Russia, and Russia was defeated.

    BTW, you want to worry about something? Worry about climate change. F*** Russia.

    I assumed that an 'internet political forum' was one where people would be a little more well informed and not merely for political animosity, objections and discord.

    Instead of asking others to provide more information for you to discuss, consider offering it yourself.
    No one here owes you anything.
