I’m sure this will end well.
Was it going to end well before this?
Finland should have a chat with the Kurds. Fins love their land and the Russians may love it, too, but what is the strategic value to Russia? The future is in the east: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valeriepieris_circle
Threatening indiscriminate mass murder (ie “nuclear deterrence”) says more about a government than about what they believe they’re up against.
Well, it may have been better if we had never invented nukes.
Howeverrrrr, now that we do have them: countries don’t get nukes to actually use them. They are a major stabilising factor because they are the single most deterring force in the world.
That’s the paradox of the nuclear weapon, a most destructive force that can bring peace, a weapon that is most effective when not being used.
