23 June 2023 at 09:31. What is the difference between that the USA placing nuclear bombs in Germany and that Russia placing nuclear bombs in Belarus? There is no difference, and even Russia may have more rights to do it.
To understand it, let’s compare the two cases:
Germany Case: Germany is a member of the military alliance of NATO together with the USA and additional NATO countries. However, the bad history of Germany in WWIII may need careful consideration for placing nuclear bombs in Germany. Besides, the USA and Germany have no shared border nor intention to create a ‘Union State’.
Belarus Case: Belarus is a member of the military alliance of CSTO (Collective Security Treaty Organization) together with Russia and additional CSTO countries. Russia and Belarus have a shared border and an ongoing plan to create a ‘Union State’.
Therefore, what is the difference? The double standards of the USA that risk the global position of the USA, yet unlikely among the ‘Vassal States’ of the USA, namely the members of NATO and the EU and other loyal allies of the USA, but among the ‘Vassal States’ of Russia and China and even other countries worldwide that have moved in the direction of the ‘Russia-China Coalition’, especially since the start of the war between Ukraine and Russia.
Hence, based on my analysis, Antagonism is the BIG risk for the USA today at the Geopolitics level. This Antagonism pushed many countries to distance themselves from what the USA represents, such as the US dollar, SWIFT, the IMF, and more. The example of the President of Kenya that pushed Africa to stop using the US Dollar in trade between other countries unless the trade is made with the USA is a good example of the ‘Resistance Wave’ against the USA worldwide, which has been triggered by the ‘double standards of the USA’, resulting in Antagonism against what the USA represents.
However, to clarify my comment, I think that Nuclear Bombs should not be place anywhere because Nuclear war could lead to the extinction of humanity.
