It might be if its still a source of nuclear energy technologies and development.
Russia doesn’t claim to be a liberal democracy.
But it does, kinda.
So did the USA
I doubt the target lists have changed all that much. The silos are still in the same area, as are bases, ports, steel mills, etc. Some new targets for sure have been added.
I’m not sure what is going down at Oak Ridge these days. I don’t think we need them to do what they were built for, which was uranium enrichment for a fission bomb.
TN might actually be one of the safer areas in a nuclear exchange. Is there anything there that’s REALLY important for waging total war? Maine is definitely better off than most, with shipyards being our only targets with all of the fallout going over the ocean.
The last place you would want to be is probably the Dakotas, Wyoming, Montana, Colorado and Nebraska. That’s if we get stuck first.
And? That means we should be afraid to criticize Russia?
The point is that J. D. Vance’s speech would not make sense in Russia because Russia doesn’t hypocritically claim to be a liberal democracy like Germany does.
I’m so relieved that capitalism seems to have survived.

The Russian constitution does have provisions for free speech. Regardless, why should we care how Germany handles free speech? We don’t care about Russia and free speech.
We sound like the feminists who defend Islam. Either we proudly tell the whole world our way is the best way, or we believe in moral relativism. Trump has no problem referring to Central and South American nations as shitholes but Russia is also a shithole country.
Shhhh…
Little Z is used to getting his pouty wishes:
NBC News in 2022: “Biden had barely finished telling Zelenskyy he’d just greenlighted another $1 billion in U.S. military assistance for Ukraine when Zelenskyy started listing all the additional help he needed and wasn’t getting. Biden lost his temper, the people familiar with the call said. The American people were being quite generous, and his administration and the U.S. military were working hard to help Ukraine, he said, raising his voice, and Zelenskyy could show a little more gratitude.”

O’ Reilly nails it (pun? intended):
This was another point I was making from the beginning of this war. Human rights groups consistently listed Ukraine as more corrupt than Russia. The Ukrainian government was murderin civilians in the Donbass for 8 years before Russia intervened. People treat Ukraine like the victims, but they are not and never have been. I never felt sympathy for them.

OK Ivan.
Do you want a cookie, Edgelord?
Its not easy, but you gotta separate the people from the politics.
There are the politicians of Ukraine, and the people.
The politicians make the decisions.
The people pay the price.

Maybe he should learn about the Holodomor before praising the Russians and condemning the Ukrainians. People don’t forget these things. And I know Stalin was ethnically Georgian.

Read this, get smart:
I had the government in mind, not the citizenry. It’s the government that is corrupt and was killing civilians in the Donbass. I felt and still feel sorry for the Ukrainian citizenry.
You assume a lot more than you know.
