I don't see them changing their attitude anytime soon. Quote:
Again, look to history, as the various peoples in the West gradually unshackled themselves from the mandates and desires of their various kings and emperors, Russia remained locked in the bondage of czars and serfdom, and when change finally came it wasn't democracy that reigned triumphant, it was ultimately another strongman who made Ivan the Terrible look like a piker when it came to oppressing the populace. Quote:
At one time it was unthinkable that Rome would ever fall to barbarians, yet one day in 1453 the last Constantine's head was stuck on a pole as Ottoman forces plundered the bejeweled city of Constantinople, and the last of the Roman light went out of the world. Would that last Roman emperor have dropped a nuke on those rampaging Ottomans if he had one? You bet. It was also unthinkable that a madman would seize power in Germany in 1933 and plunge the world into war and murder millions of people in concentration camps. Yet this also came to pass. And if he had got the bomb first and finished his transatlantic bomber you can be sure that places like New York and Washington would have become smoldering radioactive ruins. Fortunately a lot of the best qualified people to build the bomb were Jews, and some of those were smart enough to get out while the getting was good. There WILL be atomic mushroom clouds rising into the sky again someday - it is just a question of when.

Well yes but that's not what occurred in this case. You made a quite outrageous accusation which was proven to be an example of demonizing 101, whether or not you intended it. You should have fact checked it because the fact that you didn't, raises the bar on your other arguments. The burden of proof for those rests with you not with others. Please do your research properly.

In Russian, since I suppose you're Russian (other friends can use Google Translator): https://www.hrw.org/ru/news/2017/01/23/299223 Even the Russian Ministry of Interior: http://www.ntv.ru/novosti/1963761/ https://www.svoboda.org/a/28926810.html So, with all due respect, it's not demonizing. It's a real problem. |

Although I agree that anythig can happen, I want to believe there WON'T be atomic mushrooms. They might destroy the planet because of atmospheric consequences, as I mentioned before. |

Wanting to believe is the problem. We can't uninvent nuclear weapons, though that would be very nice. And the technology and know-how has been gradually spreading. There are more people that have the bomb now than had it during the Cold War. It's quite scary to contemplate the idea that there are all sorts of people out there now who don't like us, who might gain access to the Bomb. I have a sneaking feeling that before the next century turns we will see a terrorist-built nuke go off in Washington, or New York, or London.

^ Quite true. Being the provincial swine that I am, however, I would be a lot less concerned if one of those cities went up in smoke rather than one in my own country.

I am quite happy not to see any city turned into a mushroom shaped cloud.
