  5.  @seeker2118  The US used its nuclear weapons 70 years ago. That doesn't mean its has a first strike policy. And Russia has made nuclear threats in the past two years, sth the US hasn't done

  6. ​ @Luke1959 do you know your history? You know what, stupid question 😂😂

  7.  @bencarter1666  Japan was already defeated. They themselves knew this. Americans knew this. They just didn't want to sacrifice more lives to make the Japanese accept defeat Only time will tell if Russia needs to use nukes in a war they can't win. But threatening the west with nuclear war is a sign of weakness. Consider also there is a big taboo against using nuclear weapons now. So Russia will look bad to even their allies

  14. This again? Why is it that when it comes time to prove what you say is "true", we get nothing but crickets? You ppl keep telling yourselves you are arbiters of truth in order to convince yourselves you know what the truth is

  15.  @bencarter1666  and what's the pretext? That Russia can't win a conventional war against Ukraine?

  16.  @SuanLuang  to be clear, the US reserves the right of first use as a way to deter other nuclear powers from using theirs. My comment was in reference to the actions they took towards Japan in 1945

  17.  @PhuaTeckHoe  the Japanese refused to surrender

  18.  @PhuaTeckHoe  I don't understand. What are you responding to?

  19.  @laurabeaumont3593  Russia hadn't been defeated, so why would they surrender? And it's not true to say no military wants to surrender. It depends on the circumstances. Japan and Germany were different in that they were under radical authoritarian militaristic regime's and couldn't conceive the idea of being defeated since they built their whole ideology on strength and victory My logic is that the US has a nuclear first strike policy as a deterrence to other nuclear powers not to use their own nuclear weapons. That's all

  20.  @evgeniya7853  so you responded to my original comment without reading my follow-up comment. Now you're responding to that comment 😒😂😂 There obviously is a point in having the ability to strike first. That's why major nuclear countries have nuclear triad systems. Its a direct response to that You should follow your own advice. You have alot more reading to do than I do

  21.  @evgeniya7853  I don't understand the first part of your response. But what you presented is inaccurate There won't be a response before the rockets land. Its not automatic in that way. They usually involve certain mechanisms that have a threshold that need to be breached. One, the system has to be active, and to be active it has to be switched on by a high official, which would only happen in a crisis. We dont know if the system is active right now, and two, there has to be a determination that nuclear attack had been launched. The automation you are referring to would ground-based sensors detecting thet attack HAD happened, so that means monitoring a network of seismic, radiation, and air pressure sensors for signs of nuclear explosions. Then, the system will check to see if any communication links to the war room of the General Staff remaine. If they do, then they it wilk shut down. If not, then command missiles will be launched to give the order to all silos and nuclear assets to strike back. So your concept of "automation" isnt actually automatic in the way you presented. This fairytale idea of Russia you have doesn't exist. No nation operates like that cus if they did, it would be very reckless Also the US and UK use different fail deadly methods of deterrence in case their own command structure is taken out. So it's not the same for everyone Hope you learned sth today

  23. Funny how people like you never feel the need to learn anything. It's always someone else who needs to learn. How convenient for you...
