the reality is we put missiles in Turkey and then the Russians had a shit fit. This time they just had a shit fit over the Ukrainians choosing democracy instead of authoritarianism. We didn't even had to put missiles in UkraineYeah, so the Russians started putting missiles in Cuba, obviously close enough to strike the US in minutes, and the US had a shit fit. Now try to imagine Canada deciding to align itself economically and militarily (lol) with Russia or China... guaranteed US shit fit.
