None of the senate candidates or house candidates mentioned it. For a couple hundred years the more peaceful of the candidates won almost every election but 2 cycles in a row no one is asking or talking about their foreign policy positions. If Oz and Fetterman are both in favor or starting nuclear war then why does it matter who won, same with walker and warnock.

No. The only thing that really matters is the state of our economy.

If you think the economy is bad now wait til nukes start flying. This isn't WW1 or WW2 where we were the only advanced country not touched, we will get hit and hit hard if this thing goes nuclear imo

Almost asking Putin to do it

Has there ever been a candidate in the history of American politics that supported starting a nuclear war?

This is a strange thread.

Are you not paying attention to Putin? We are on the verge and no one was asked if they would support troops going into Ukraine.

Why would they be? It is not an issue for Congress at the moment.

Are they still? I thought the nuclear rhetoric on both sides seemed to have calmed over the past few weeks.

Are you a child? Everyone is fully aware of the consequences of a nuclear war. What exactly are you arguing? That our support of Ukraine should've been front and center during the election b/c it will in your opinion lead to nuclear war?

Are you serious. A nuclear power is threatening nuclear war, rumors that Putin tried to launch a nuke. A nuclear sub that plants nukes on the ocean floor disappeared for weeks. We're playing with fire.

Speaking at a conference of international foreign policy experts late last month (oct 22), Putin said it’s pointless for Russia to strike Ukraine with nuclear weapons.

“We see no need for that,” Putin said. “There is no point in that, neither political, nor military.”

That would depend the pending revelation of the magnitude of crimes that you have committed and if you have squirreled away a mountain of hard assets somewhere else.
Don't think for a minute that any one of our "leaders" wouldn't turn your family to ash to get away scot-free to Switzerland with a billion Krugerrands in the vault if the crime was bad enough.

Rumors are he wanted to test a nuke during routine nuclear force training exercises but it failed....twice That is interesting as maybe as some have suggested it was internal sabotage.

Are you referring to the K-329 Belgorod? Yea...nuclear submarines disappear ....thats what they do...the weapons system you are referring I assume is the nuclear powered and armed torpedo. And it is by all intelligence accounts not operational yet.

I think you are trying to make a point without a lot of facts.
