We absolutely can police nuclear powers, what are you talking about? Why do you think conflict between nuclear powers leads to nuclear war? If that was the case, why do India and Pakistan still exist?
If you're against war, you should be against Russia starting wars.
How is NATO threatening Russia with nukes? You do realize that Russia has dozens of nuclear missiles less than 100 miles away from both US coastlines, right? Nuclear submarines were a game changer and it's been like that for decades. Why are you so scared?
Jesus man, you sound just like a Neocon warmonger. We can be the world police? Really? Just take a good hard look at how that has worked out over the past 20 years.
And there is a difference between submarine based nuclear weapons, which all major nuclear powers will naturally have deployed at all times, versus putting nuclear weapons *on land* next to Russia's border that will have only a 3-5 minute flight window to Moscow. Doing so is an outrageously escalatory step which first of all, throws off the military balance and security situation in Eastern Europe, and secondly, is totally unnecessary. And yet they are trying to do it anyway, knowing that Russia will be forced to respond to such a provocation.
But the fact that you refuse, and no doubt will continue to refuse to acknowledge it, actually shows that you are the dense one. And that you are totally ignorant towards the military reality on the ground. People like you should be allowed absolutely no where near a decision making position in regards to foreign policy. And the people like you that are already there, who constantly deflect and ignore reality, need to be removed immediately if we are to guarantee that humanity will have a future that isn't covered in radioactive ashes.
