    There's no "de toxifying" the moscali....that's a lost cause.

    Kennedy didn’t like the USSR building a military base on Cuba and a nuclear war was feared. Didn’t Cuba have a right to join the Warsaw Pact?

    Cuba was a "useful idiot" for the Sovs....nothing more. USSR couldn't give 2 $hits about Cuba....other than an island to stick missiles to fire on Miami, Atlanta,New Orleans, etc.

    Kennedy was following the “Monroe Doctrine”.

    Leopards will make up the bulk of their western tank fleet, at least in the near term. I wonder how the Ukrainians will distribute them all. Will they mix western tanks or send different types to different areas? I imagine they're all about equally suited to smash Russia's defensive lines and outperform their primitive tanks.

    The Mafiosi will do its utmost to destroy....or capture Leo's or Abrams and parade it somewhere claiming Western inferiority.

    Just like HIMARS...their claim is all of them destroyed.....LOL.

    There is a difference between being in NATO, or the old Warsaw Pact, and having nuclear missiles aimed at either the Soviet Union/Russia, or the United States, so close to the other country's border, as Cuba is to Florida. As part of that crisis, I believe we agreed to not put missiles in Turkey (or to pull them out). At present, NATO has zero nuclear missiles, but uses jet planes, carrying nuclear bombs. And there are only 100 of them, in all Europe. And none are right on Russia's doorstep. And no one has suggested putting any nukes, into Ukraine. In point of fact, Ukraine had given up its nuclear weapons, did not want them, provided its national sovereignty was guaranteed, against Russian invasion. So your trying to make Ukraine an analog to Cuba, during the missile crisis, fails on several fronts.

    No doubt there will be no shortage of fake videos of Abrams and Leopards allegedly blown up in Ukraine for Bill and co. to post here.

    NATO had 2500 tactical nuclear weapons in Western Europe in 1960.

    Sure, and that is why the poorly trained and poorly equiped Russian Qir Force is to scared to operate over Ukraine, right? It is laughable how scared Russian pilots are dumping their bombs and missiles behind Russian lines because they are afraid to fly over Ukrainian held territory. Hell, the ancient junk planes Russia flies have to use civilian GPS units because the 1970's crap built into their planes doesn't even work.

    And that justifies Russia's invasion of Ukraine, today?

    For something that was true, eighty years ago?
    Obviously, then, you support black Reparations payments?

    Are you advocating Ukraine be allowed the same relationship with the US that Cuba had with the USSR after the Cuban Missile crisis?

    Russian aircraft, helicopter and missile wreckage suggest you are misinformed.
