Even the threat of MAD does not faze the western leadership, as a significant portion of the western populations and leaderships prefer ruling a kingdom of ashes to being equals in a prosperous world.
From what I’ve seen, neither are libs fazed by MAD. People I’ve spoken to IRL seem to be in agreement that NATO should’ve already invaded/nuked Russia. One of them point blank admitted it’s worth it to have a nuclear war if it means destroying Russia. And these libs haven’t even been scratched yet. Reddit clowns
For real, I’m sick of how many calls for genociding/nuking/deporting Russians I’ve heard since the war started… in real life, not on the internet… where people aren’t even that close to each other, and who would scorn other types of discrimination (at least for show)
