H-bombs ever made were made by Russia. They have one for every American city over 50,000 population. So its not a one time deal. They can deliver these bombs by ICBM, cruise missiles and submarine launched missiles along our coasts. We have no defense for such an attack.

The op is saying we are wasting our time and resources creating enemies where they don't exist. It reminds me of Ferguson Mo. cops who made a business out of creating so called criminals.

Also, I just don't get the agitated responses about Russia and their media. Our media is worse. Look what they did to Iraq. No amount of LOLing and cursing is going to change the facts. I'm immune to commissar tactics.
