  • US earns a lot of money, and can afford a huge debt, by being a global superpower. By projecting power abroad, it also projects support for American businesses on worldwide markets. This is how the US earns enough money for a huge military budget, used to project the power. And all of this becomes possible thanks to alliance with European and other countries.

    Current Russian invasion in Europe is about vital US interests. Support to Ukraine requires a rather small fraction of the US military budget. Failure in Ukraine will cost much, much more - probably including the American lives.



  • I was talking about the tactical nuke that might have been stored there. By the way, the locals in Toropets said that the explosion would be much bigger if another storage facility was hit. Perhaps they were talking about some deep storage with a nuke that remained intact. And this is probably the reason why the Ruscists now strictly forbid any publication of the aftermath.

    The explosion of the nuke in the storage is very different from the explosion of the intentionally exploded armed nuke. It may not even explode at all, but only spread radioactive material.

    But in this case, the radioactivity level did not increase, so evidently no nuke was hit.
