The collapse of the USSR resulted in the largest windfall of arms and experts in various types of specialized warfare

Chemical, Biological, Nuclear

Yeah, well the world hasn't ended so, we got that going for us.

Several countries began nuclear programs during this time period

they were able to preserve the nuclear weapons, although they had to scrap large amounts of nuclear arms during the treaties in the 90s and 80s

US is going to end this world.
they have said they will srike russian missle sites.

and after that nukes will fly.

Mhm and how much of that talk was acted upon during the cold war

We will not fire nukes.

If the russian government collapses tons of weapons and experts will enter the market

yeah. US only needs to srike those missle sites and russia will launch nukes.

Yeah and the US isn't going to do that

The US will not launch nuclear missiles.

Orange man talk big, Orange man only do if necessary.

<:npc:502497359419408384>

You are familliar with MAD right jasse?

Orange man can talk all he wants, he can press the button. The United States will not launch a nuclear missile.

it was in news few monts back. that US secratary or someone said they would strike russia if they dont stop their hypersonic nuke plans.

Right and it won't happen

No.

Just like how they were super going to nuke NK we promise

We wanted to pull out of the nuclear arms treaty.

>russia develops nuclear weapons outside of a treaty

Well orange man said he wanted to.

Right

And if they're doing it we should do it to.

and that will end well...

That's what he saying.

b-but the us will end da world

Orange man words are working. Orange man talk big to scare enemies. It's scaring you into believing the US is gonna yeet the world.

Nuclear proliferation actually did work out pretty well last time tbh

Im sure the russians will schedule a demonstration in a few months time

Well see that it doesnt violate the terms of the treaty and this will be all over

For the moment its benefical to both sides that they have a boogeyman to be scared of, it helps both leaders rally support behind them

This is no different from the north korean saber rattling, a world leader who wants to have a war of words with an opposing power for popular support wont back down until he gets what he wants

Oh yeah, Russia loves to use the US as a boogeyman.

I'm surprised nobody ever brings up Italian Fascism
*wherein they hired a classical liberal to run their economy, and where one of the big prevailing notions was that you needed a good economy to properly drop capitalism*

Did they realize that having a good economy and dropping capitalism means dropping the good economy?

Also they only had a good economy because of a war time economy.

Also no one brings up Italian Fascism in this convo because it's really hard to argue that beloved dictator was beloved when he was drug by the neck through the city streets while the people cheered.

Oh shit I didn't know that. Good job Italy.
