Correct me please, but how many times has Russia used a nuclear weapon? Only the US has used nuclear weapons.

The US did NOT use those weapons on military targets, but on civilians. 170,000 people were killed instantly. Estimates range into the millions for the total number of civilians killed.

In the last 20 years, the US left TWO nuclear arms treaties with Russia. The US left the ABMT in 2002, and the INF treaty in 2019. Not Russia backing out, just the opposite. Russia wanted to maintain those nuclear arms treaties. The US left.

What you list are words of Russia. A Russia feeling threatened - and saying so for decades - by the West. What I list are actions of the US.

"Actions speak louder than words" is a common saying for a reason. Similarly, "What what they do, not what they say."

The US is #1 at narrative control. Best in the world by far. Those are words. The US' actions say something completely different.

None of this makes Russia a "good guy" in the current situation. I'm just making an evidence-based claim that the US is the aggressor in actions regarding nuclear weapons between Russia and the US.
