So you think the US can install missiles and nukes on Turkish soil without Turkey knowing about it? You really do live down a rabbit hole. For the last time: A: the US never invaded Cuba, if they had, Castro would have been history. Even though Cuba lost Russian support in 1989, the US still hasn't attacked Cuba.

So the US is going to hide nuclear warheads and missiles in other countries without their knowledge or consent? You really have gone down the conspiracy rabbit hole. Things were peachy keen until Putin started pushing his weight around. Nuclear missiles were removed from Europe when the Iron Curtain came down and only a few low yield bombs are stored in Europe to be carried by fighter bombers. That was over 30 years ago. Trump had SFA to do with that. Putin will take anything he can get. The US didn't drop anything on Cuba. The Bay of Pigs airforce consisted of a few WW2 vintage B-26 bombers. And yet over 60 years later, the US still hasn't attacked Cuba even though Cuba hasn't had the Russians to cover their backs for over 30 years.

You are acting like 31 governments can keep a secret with no one leaking it. The US doesn't get to stick nukes anywhere it wants, they have to get the country's permission. But if you want to play that game, if Putin takes Ukraine, NATO will have five more countries bordering Russia to put nukes. When have US forces ever attacked Cuba, with or without nukes?

Taylor Swift Derangement Syndrome

On paper it looks like it could be a really good game. Hope so. -
NATO is 31 countries. Another conspiracy theory where multiple governments and their employees all have to lie so it will never get out. Fat chance. Russia has spy satellites too. Which US military invaded Cuba? When did the US bomb Cuba? Bay of Pigs was a CIA backed invasion by Cubans. American forces were never on the ground or attack Cuba. There are no NATO nukes based in Eastern Europe. Right now the only NATO countries bordering Russia are the Baltic States and now Finland due to this invasion. If Russia takes Ukraine they will have four more, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and Romania. Is Russia going to invade all them as well. Ukraine has shown how important NATO is to the survival of former Soviet Bloc countries.

There are currently no nukes or missiles capable of delivering them in Eastern Europe. Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons in return for a guarantee of their security by Russia. I wonder how keen Putin would have been to invade if Ukraine still had them. If Putin keeps invading neighbours, there definitely will be nukes in future.

Ya, Eastern Europe was under the Soviet boot for 45 years and have not intention of being under a Russian boot. Hence, NATO membership. Among other things, Ukraine had the Holodomor inflicted on them by the Soviets which starved to death almost 4 million Ukrainians. Why do you think they are fighting so hard to retain their independence?

Taylor Swift Derangement Syndrome
Aristides replied to Rebound's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
As far as the NHL Allstar game goes, I didn't see the anthems and had to do a search on it. My question is why the NHL would even consider her to sing the anthem? If they don't address this, it comes across as them making a statement. Why don't you start a topic. Taylor is at the games as a private citizen cheering for a team, she isn't singing the anthem or making a political statement while she is there. Relax, she probably won't be at the SB, she has a conflicting concert in Japan. -

It’s nuts, she is the biggest star in the world right now. The same thing will happen whenever she shows up in public. It goes with the territory. She is no more qualified or less entitled to express political opinions than anyone else. -

Why shouldn’t celebs join the fun? Kelce isn’t making any statements, it’s his girlfriend. How the hell does her being there ruin a game for you? What exactly is she doing other than being there and cheering for her boyfriend? Is she mouthing off to reporters, holding up signs with Vote Biden? What? Do we ban all celebrities from attending sporting events if they have ever expressed a political opinion? Or just ones you don’t like? -

Tucker just lies, almost 800 million of Fox's money says so. How many millions have their networks had to put out because of their lies? What do Hitler or Stalin have to do with any of them?
