  So your position is russia raises no threat to America. I’ll write that one down.

    I wouldn’t say none whatsoever, but comparatively little. They’re already engaged in a fairly high stakes military operation costing them massive amounts of resources and manpower every year and constantly teetering on the edge of triggering a NATO involvement. Yeah they have nukes, but if they really wanted an all-out war, don’t you think they would have dropped one already?

    I’d say chances are very low. First of all, the US likely has a capable early warning system and the ability to intercept a nuclear warhead in-flight, and second, the potential retaliation would likely be horrifying and not worth the risk. Worrying about armed criminal gang members who are already in the country seems to be a lot more sensible to me because they pose a more immediate threat.

      I firmly believe, and the evidence supports, Russia has deployed a widespread disinformation campaign against America and has infiltrated the highs levels of government.

        Do you have any evidence for that belief?

  It’s cute that you think they’re all on the other side of the world. You must feel very safe.

  I envy you.

    I haven’t heard of any armed, violent Russian criminal gangs operating on US territory in recent years, so yeah, I’m less worried about them than the ones that are known to operate here.
