It’s election time.
Albeit a fake one.

Yup got to muster up the forced votes somehow.

Of course what he is saying would no doubt apply to any country with Nukes. It's just something that is usually never said.

The phrase is Mutually Assured Destruction.

It not new. It has been around as long as we have had Nuclear weapons. It works both ways. Russia is deterred from a pre-emtive first strike because it knows the US will fire back.

He sounds like he's in Trump's league (if the claim is true).

[ichkeria]

Trump is a conceited buffoon.
Putin is a ruthless gangster, in that respect way out of Trump's league.
Nerve agent it seems was the method used in Salisbury.
Rather appropriate, as it looks like an agent displaying quite a nerve.

It reminds me of Dr. Strangelove.
