Russia condemns US nuclear bomb plans

I can't imagine a "winnable" nuclear war of any kind,

Oh, please...temm em to all move to Siberia or the Arctic Circle or something...ever since Marx, Engle's, Lenin, Stalin, and Kruschev, those people have never once gotten a clue how to run a democracy. .sometimes, I just think they're societally incapable of comprehending how honest governments are really supposed to function, esp. with an ex-KGB apparatchik like Putin, the supreme example of oligarchy...

A winnable nuclear exchange is imaginable. If the enemy's capabilities are destroyed sufficiently quickly that most of our own country survives, as hard as that might be to achieve and as horrific as the losses incurred might be, when compared to suffering a fully-cataclysmic attack would be a win. A win doesn't have to be pleasant, just better than losing.

As far as Putin, well, he's Putin. Maybe one day Russia will decide to be a prosperous, responsible country with good relations with the West. But for now...
