The US blowing up Nordstream II is undermining NATO. Russia poses no realistic risk to NATO, and more than it does to any human who wants to take his chances after nuclear war.

Because NATO, obviously. But in the meantime, Putin has been trying to undermine and cause NATO to break apart for years, and the poster above you said "one day."

This isn't tricky.

Edit: Also "why not now" well Russia's somewhat revealed itself to be militarily incompetent. Even without NATO it would make no sense to invade *now*, since they'd fail even more miserably than they are in Ukraine. The point still stands about the future, however.

Then why not invade now? Wars can have more than one front and that move would force the West to ask its people for more than just their money. If Russia is willing to incur Article 5, then why not now?

I know about that idiot. I think young man should start thinking for themselves .and realizing that most things on the internet, are false and misleading ,they're only after the money that they get. I am tired of being insulted by all these idiots.!

Yes nukes are a reason that NATO hasn’t committed ground troops to Ukraine, but geopolitical realities pertaining to trade relations with China, alliances with India, and Turkey being a NATO member state are way more reason that ground troops haven’t been committed.

Nukes are a non factor as far as us supplying materiel and financial support for Ukraine, Putin is not dumb enough to use them for any other reason then a Hail Mary if the very survival of Russia is threatened.

I'm always impressed when I see those figures. And then.... Pakistan

You are essentially just arguing that you wish war didn't exist. I also wish guns didn't exist, but they do, and so does war. Not every neighboring county can be convinced to put down their weapons and please don't invade us. War is necessary if the other side refuses to cease their incursions. We would be morally bankrupt if we allowed for allied countries to just get crushed by authoritarians.

Willy Nelson...who needs "science"..I rest my case.

How is this even possible. Get -40 here and our power grid is just fine

Yeah, that logic don't work. See also: Jill Stein.

That is true

I'll take "incredibly stupid questions" for 100, Ken.

You are assuming way too much about me personally. Being anti-war doesn't doesn't make me pro or anti, this side or that; I'm not for whatever is going on between Russia, Ukraine, NATO. But that's me.

Right, NATO, I forgot! Why aren't they just rising up and kicking Putin's teeth in? Maybe it has to do with nukes? You know, the things that level entire cities and contaminates countries? Putin has them...incase you didn't know.

They won WW2?

Until the Big One hits.

It was multi generational premeditation

Like in Florida?

Good, I’m glad they congregate to be identified

Who else? Damn near everyone around is in nato?

Don’t worry. I’m sure the Ohio GOP will fix it.

I’d be pretty freaked out too after seeing the destruction in Turkey and Syria. Especially since I’ve never really felt an earthquake.

It makes sense though. The pictures prove the product and that you have disabled it. But people suck at taking pictures so they tell you to keep it until they instruct you to get rid of it, which is probably when they approve your recall submission.
