It is no tribute to you to think civilized, live and let live relationship between great nuclear powers is kissing ass. it makes you look rather like a bastard offspring of an orgy involving trump and some of george W’s cronies, like paul wolfowitz or donald rumsfeld.

Nah it is a tribute to me to not kiss the ass of a delusional autocrat which is what everyone clearly sees you doing. It makes you look like the bastard offspring of Trump and Reagan. Keep tonguing those man prunes Mr apologist

What civilized relationship? Russia has invaded Ukraine. If Russia has beef with NATO, if Russia has beef with the US - all well and good. Stop killing Ukrainians over it.

if key existential problem of a major power can’t be solved in civilized manner, it would be solved by war.

Look, maybe you are an average joe - but that wouldn't say anything promising about ukraine's future, russias future, our future in the us, the west in general....and probably isn't an omen of good fortune wherever you're from, either.

I should also mention that while russia’s nuclear arsenal is impressive, china’s ability to build a larger one is without a doubt. At the moment the our capacity to produce key military material is dwarves by those of china. in some areas chinese industrial capacity that can be applied to building military hardware exceeds that of the rest of the world combined. If we try to put chinese nuclear deterrence in similar state of dubious credibility as we attempt to do to Russia, I have zero doubt that china will react violently as well, and will in addition vastly accelerate the expansion of her nuclear arsenal in an effort to overwhelm with mass what advantageous positions might gain the US. I would not be surprised by the end of this decade, the amount of nuclear weapons pointed at the US will reach several times the ~5000 that is in russian and chinese silos now.

again, not getting in the way of powerful people who are trying to secure their own existential interests the by far the most effective way to enhance one’s own safety.

I suspect that powerful people, especially if they're actually powerful, can secure their existential interests without invading Ukraine or anywhere else. Something along those lines may be their pretext for war, but that's all it is. Pretext.
