None of us like enemies on our doorstep

Except nobody is pointing nukes at one another with the Ukraine situation.

That’s what the Russians are really worried about though .. NATO putting missiles into Ukraine that could strike their major cities before they could respond.

Peace.

So, its the same, but NATO is the aggresor? Makes no sense...as i do not think you understand the role of NATO.

These brave superpowers, they love to take a small country and use it as a proxy battleground instead of facing each other. Spot on Rick.

Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan,Iraq, Angola, Mozambique, Rhodesia, Namibia, Syria, Sinai peninsula, to name but a few.
Yep both those super powers love to poke at each other in other peoples backyards.

Peace.

And the US isnt installing ICBMs in Ukraine, so no its not even close.

What would NATO do if Ukraine did join the alliance ?
If you’re going to say not put ICBMs into eastern Ukraine then NATO is really stupid as this puts a constant upper hand over the Russians.
Just look at the last month or so billions of £/$ in weapons have been handed to Ukraine once/if they are in the alliance do you think this won’t stretch to ICBMs.

Hmmm o.k.

So, how many years of service have you served? We arent moving ICBMS around Europe, simple as that.

You tried.

What has that got to do with it ?

Since when did people who serve make defence policy & allocation decisions ?

Defence? Any military training would tell you that ICBMs are not mobile, and involve building a silo. SICBMs are what you are thinking of. We (the USA) arent moving those around neither.

Right about why I spell that way & also about the infrastructure for ICBMs.
But Ukraine once had this infrastructure under the USSR so it’s quite feasible it could be reestablished.

Those are bars and nightclubs, now!! We can leave it at that. Be safe. Have fun.

I ASSISTED with the Dopplar decommissioning of bunkers on my base. That was in the late 90s. Be safe!

Be safe too.

Peace.
