    The proposed resolution “views the use of any tactical nuclear weapon by the Russian Federation, the Republic of Belarus, or their proxies, or the destruction of a nuclear facility, dispersing radioactive contaminates into NATO territory causing significant harm to human life as an attack on NATO requiring an immediate response, including the implementation of Article V of the North Atlantic Treaty.”

    Doesn’t seem unreasonable. Any nuclear attack or disaster in Ukraine would affect neighboring countries.

      Wait until the wind is blowing from the west, drop a nuke, viola! No fall out on NATO, no justification for an Article V response.

      Yeah shelling Nuclear power plants and using depleted uranium ammo is something only NATO clowns can do, when Russia is using something radioactive, we suddenly start to think about the neighbors!1!!1!

          In what sense? That the very gentlemen who tipped their hats and said to Russia’s concerns on toxic ammo “bla bla”, now assemble because of the same concerns, are called reasonable?

        Can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic but I’ll be charitable and assume you are.

          I don’t understand if you are sarcastic? Literally a few months ago the Britbongs announced they sent depleted uranium ammo to Ukraine, known for causing increased cancer rates and birth defects in the regions they are used. Japan said they will donate trucks which were used during Fukushima and still are radioactive to Ukraine. Now, NATO suddenly cares about contaminates? LMAO this only proves Westerners see Ukrainians as subhumans just as they see Russians, they put them through stuff they would never accept on their soil.

            anything on ‘the use of any tactical nuclear weapon’ or ‘the destruction of a nuclear facility’, what with that being what the conversation is about and all

              …, dispersing radioactive contaminates into NATO territory…

              This you left out on purpose?

                yes, what with it not being one of the conditions for an “immediate response”, and actually just being elaboration on the actual conditions

                thats why it says “or their proxies, or the destruction of a nuclear facility, dispersing radioactive contaminates into NATO territory”

                as opposed to “or their proxies, or the destruction of a nuclear facility, or dispersing radioactive contaminates into NATO territory”

                so sure, on purpose, that purpose being treating the text as if it says what it actually says

    Sorry, I thought we were in 1970 again. Continue on with your proxy wars and nuclear annihilation threats.

      I hear nuclear threats from Russia on a weekly to monthly basis for the past year. I don’t even care anymore. If they want to do it they’ll do it anyway. So the only thing we can do is to be prepared and answer appropriately instead of letting us get all submissive and let them do whatever the hell they want. Nuclear weapons shouldn’t be a free pass to act like an imperialistic asshole.

            Yes, what about the global hegemon with 800 military bases around the planet, that’s constantly running proxy wars, and the only country to actually have used nuclear weapons to destroy two cities. We should absolutely not talk about that.
