NATO is only powerful because of the US. Plenty of countries in the alliance seem lacking in terms of equipment stocked. We never seem to learn from history, it’s better to have the equipment and to not need it. I think we’ve always lived under a MAD doctrine, but this war perhaps throws into question whether nukes would ever be used, short of an absolute last resort.

As I get older I also question more and more what is and isn’t worth fighting for, our leaders are a joke.

The more we depend, solely, on nuclear weapons, the more likely we'll have to use them.

We are poking Russia, they may or may not be able to do something back, but we shouldn't depend on them being unable to respond. There has never been a time in the last 30-40 years when we need to be more ready/prepared to deal with eventualities.

If people (governments) value the relative peace and stability we've enjoyed over the last few decades it is time to stand up and be counted, anyone standing in the way of sensible measures is the enemy of peace.

No, Russia are the ones doing the poking. They have invaded a neighbouring country and are attempting to annex its territory.

If we let Russia get away with it, we don't live in a world worth living in anyway, so may as well let the nukes fly.

Where would you draw the line? Would you happily let them invade the whole of Europe till they were at our doorstep, before we get involved?

I think you misunderstand me. I'm not going to bother explaining myself after all my posts in this thread.
 
Today's bonkers award:

“We did not start the so-called war in Ukraine. On the contrary - we are trying to finish it,” Putin told a meeting of the Valdai Discussion Club in the Black Sea resort of Sochi.
 
Combat Sent mission to Barents Sea today - likely because they suspect Russia testing its nuclear powered cruise missile (I've not bothered to check if it was tested today yet).

EDIT: Got a bit confused having just rolled out of bed - the Combat Sent isn't the nuclear sniffer which was headed this way last night, these do mapping of things like radar and other similar systems ( https://twitter.com/auonsson/status/1709160780883493316 ) probably related to the same mission in this case if the US thinks Russia might be about to test the 9M730 Burevestnik.

The Constant Phoenix from last night is currently headed back out of Mildenhall towards the Middle East, probably Qatar.
