When the US nukes two cities, it’s “the only way to stop the war”, but when the USSR obtains nukes it’s “crazed mad men that will bring armagedden”
The lib I work with has tried to have a serious discussion with me about Putin and whether or not he would be petty enough (should he lose the Ukraine war as the lib was expecting) to just start a nuclear war with us because he has nothing to lose. When Saudi Arabia started cosying up to China I asked him if he thinks we’d be petty enough to start a nuclear war with China, and he laughed and was like ‘no comment’. I promise 100% nothing got through to him, this guy believes everything the state department says (but he’s got good politics with regard to Palestine at least, but even then I have some minor doubts).
