Comment on The media smear campaign against Zack Polanski is working wonders

I think the sad reality is that countries without nuclear weapons are at the mercy of nations with nuclear weapons. What would be gained if the UK and France, for example, were to get rid of their nukes? There’s absolutely no chance that the US/Russia/China will get rid of theirs. So then those countries would have a massive amount of leverage over Europe.
I definitely hope nukes are not used. But the threat of vast destruction might be the only threat that the world’s authoritarian leaders are afraid of. If those leaders are afraid of nothing then they could launch their own terrible weapons at civilians across the world.

And you think these countries (China - which hasn’t been involved in military conflict for over 50 years - and Russia and ??) are secretly planning what? Invasion? Steal our women? Drive tanks through our front gardens? Eat our cats and dogs? Both those countries already own a great deal of property and investments here in the UK. People of China and Russia are like most of us: want peace. We’re governed by madmen and arms dealers who want to make us feel frightened and insecure all the time.

You think Russia wants peace? Russia has been invading Ukraine since 2014. They launched a war against their neighbour so they could grab its land and subjugate its people. It’s imperialism, and who knows when Russia will decide to stop.
Actually yes there are some people in Russia who want peace, and who protested against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Such protests in Russia get you arrested though.
