    Who said that the Japanese cannot be nuked?
    The Americans have shown what is possible.
    And even with impunity. And without any ceremony or apology.

    Why is there no Russian reaction to the arms supplied to Ukraine, for example, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and others. They are given strict notes with a warning that military supplies are directly involved in military battles against the Russian Federation with all further consequences, and without a statute of limitations. Respond adequately and strictly, up to the termination of dip. relations and the expulsion of the diplomatic corps. Today, zero response and response, so everyone supplies weapons to the Armed Forces of Ukraine without hesitation. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation and other services are generally toothless, it cannot be otherwise, when the offspring of the leadership and chief officials are "hostages" of the enemies.
