Pretty cool except you're wrong, Russia absolutely has a first strike policy by everyone on earths standards except their own.

[@papajohn4689]

Due to the history of Russia with the Huns and Mongols, the Russian culture has developed so that they understand and respect strength (do not read as "fear"). If you show any weakness you are free game, "divide et impera". I'm not blaming Russia as that would be hypocritical. Russia plays the global game as USA or China does. However USA is over the Atlantic sea, while Russia is our next door neighbour, who just kicked the door in of another of our neighbours. If I was born in Guatemala, Panama, Nicaragua or Cuba, I would propably write this about USA. No superpower is any better neighbour than the other. They are not our friends. We don't want to see any more Finlandization in eastern Europe. In unity there is strength and that's what NATO provides. It makes troop, ammo and equipment dispatch much easier.
