    Redditors don’t seem to understand this concept. The Ruskies aren’t threatening to use their nukes because they’re evil, they’re stating the fact that this would 100% be WW3 were it not for the fact that they have nuclear weapons.

        That’s what I remembered as well, wasn’t he hiding around the Afghanistan/Pakistan border?

        Looking at the location of Afghanistan, it gave the westoids a platform to drive a knife into the back of the PRC and Russia…
