  • That's so pathetically one-sided it's laughable. Sure, you can argue missile defence systems undermine MAD doctrine and therefore make the world less safe. But the Russians have ICBMs pointed at us and have for a long time. So complaining that we're pointing missiles at them and saying therefore we're the bad guys is just silly.

  • Cuban Missile Crisis - America parks missiles in Turkey, directly threatening USSR. This is not even worth mentioning. USSR parks missiles in Cuba, directly threatening USA. USA loses it's shit.

  • What exactly is your point? Yeah, it's fairer to say that the US started that one. The US withdrew the missiles from Turkey, the USSR withdrew the missiles from Cuba. Neither side was as stupid again, fortunately. Are PL and CZ still supposed to not join NATO in case they hurt Russia's feelings?
