      My quote, not theirs. Also Russia is a bully. Similar to the kind that takes lunch money, but on a much larger scale

        You can’t just increase the scale and expect things to stay the same!

        If those nukes are ever touched it’s the end of the fucking world.

          And if a home invader with commercially available arms so decided it’s the end of your family. That’s how scale works.

          But you don’t give in to a bully to avoid violence. That’s how you get more people/countries bullied.

          This is not intended as a threat of violence. This is an analogy to make a point that should be obvious
