      I’m pretty sure they also know they would be flattened if they decide to nuke a European country

        Russia claims to have 6000 nukes. Let’s pretend they have 50 working ones. If they detonate 1 of them, will the EU really flatten them while they’re waving 49 more?

        You do have the relevant experience and education when it comes to foreign relations and military strategy, right? Otherwise we might be putting our trust in the wrong person.
