    Yet it is still 20% of our uranium production. Why do you ignore that? Liberals approved of that, and you don't consider that a concern?

    There was no Russia during the Cold War. They were Soviet Communists.

    So the question rather sucks.

    The Soviets were a different animal than Russia under Putin.

    We had an actual reason to fear the former. You confuse my lack of Russia-phobia with something else.

    Why are you a Russia-phobe? Are you a lemming?

    You really are a Russia phobe then. Congrats.

    Why didn't you fear them before Trump came along?

    You know, during the Cold War, JFK invited nuclear war by blockading Cuba - an act of war. This tells me that the Soviets were just as hesitant to use nukes as the Putin regime likely is.

    The reason why I fear Russia is because I'm a lifelong Republican, and an antipopulist, traditional conservative. I'm guessing you are a Republican convert who has also come to embrace populism. This means you come from a pro-Russian background.

    JFK was involved in a chess match that involved nightmarish stakes. Yes, the Soviets were hesitant to use their nukes but tensions between the two countries were amped-up to the point the prospect of nuclear war was quite real.

    I prefer not to make that mistake with Putin. Especially, not over some half-baked theory about 'Russians stealing an election'. Or that *he might* do this or that thing in the Baltics or whatever.

    We have plenty on our plate with NK---who have actually threatened to nuke us. The Iranians are threatening to start WWIII in the Middle East. Radical Islam.

    Russia? Give me a break. The last thing we need is to go looking for enemies when we already have as many as we can handle.

    We don't have to go looking for Russia to be our enemy - Russia is our enemy, whether you care to acknowledge it or not. Russia is also substantially more dangerous than either NK or Iran. Physically, Iran can only harm us by destabilizing the region and thus hurting us economically. NK can at least hit the west coast, although that is still largely theoretical, still.

    Obviously, radical Islam remains our primary enemy. It's not as dangerous as Russia, China, or NK, but it's obviously engaged in hostilities against us, and has no sense of rational self-interest to deter itself.

    Ten to one odds, a radical Muslim will detonate a small nuclear device in a large city before Russia would launch anything.

    You're nuts. You sound like a liberal.

    That scenario is a movie script - it does not represent real life.

    You love Russia like a leftist did until November 8th. Net you'll be damning Reagan.

    The Twin Towers falling would have been scoffed at in similar manner in August 2001. Radical Islam is threat number one.

    Until Russia actually threatens us they aren't even on the radar.
