(32,324 posts)Slipped my mind about the land mines. Land mines are a tremendously brutal way to die, or to be injured. And then there is the nasty little habit that land mines have, that they don't suddenly dissipate into nothingness when a war ends, but blow up years later when someone is out plowing their field or digging a ditch, or just hiking through the country side.
We really have more gall than any other "civilised" nation in existence.
but s far as retaliation, we had two Talking Heads from USA today letting everyone know that although Russia makes some noises about the situation, Russia doesn't count. Not a thing Russia can do to us, the Talking Head explained.
I guess younger people have no concept of the meaning of 1,500 nuclear warheads armed and prepped for that slip of the switch.
With another 3,000 warheads that could be prepped and ready to go within 96 hours.
