NYT- President Biden considering sending thousands of troops to Eastern Europe and Baltics

[H. Ross Peron]

What's a little nuclear war done to anyone?

There is not going to be a nuclear war.  If it didn't happen even during the very worst moments of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, it certainly isn't going to happen now. 

We literally came within one person of a nuclear war during the Missile Crisis, and that was just a Soviet officer.

Way more than once. False radar readings have happened many times. One of the closest was in the Carter years, when a general told Brzezinski to tell Carter, who was sleeping, to press the button, and just as Brzezinski was about to wake Carter up, the general called to say it was a false alarm. We don't don't know how many close calls there have been because it's not always on the record. Usually it's grunts, not the damned Sec. of State.

Nuclear war is as much of an existential threat, if not more, than climate change. We are stupid for treating it like a danger that we overcame with the end of the first Cold War. We are stupid for even considering Biden's foolish posturing to be valid.

Biden and Putin are not dumb. They both know war will lead to nuclear war and that Ukraine isn't worth it, but they both want to enrich their respective oligarchs and look tough for political points. But just by playing this game that they both know can't be played to completion, we're putting more nukes in circulation, and quickening the trigger finger on the button. This is foolish.

It's not posturing to affirm US commitment to NATO allies.

Also this guy was upset about the Afghan withdrawal but now complaining about opposing Putin as a distraction lol:

Biden is about to drag us into the 3rd World War and red avatars talking about technicalities lmao

Putin is a genocidal murderer who needs to go. The Biden Administration needs to immediately launch military strikes against Russia to remove the Putin regime from power.

Just how, exactly, is this course of action in the best interest of the United States of America and its citizens?

By minimizing the chances of future war through deterrance?

When you're launching air strikes, you're past the point of "deterring war".  I think that the most important thing our military ought to do is deter war.  One question to ask if the worst happens here is why we were unable to deter a war that could be nothing but catastrophic.

Sorry thought this was just a response to the original story not Mattroses post.
