23 June 2023 at 09:31. What is the difference between that the USA placing nuclear bombs in Germany and that Russia placing nuclear bombs in Belarus? There is no difference and even Russia may have more rights.

To understand it, let’s compare the two cases:

Germany Case: Germany is a member of the military alliance of NATO together with the USA and more NATO countries. However, the WWII past of Germany may need careful consideration for placing nuclear bombs in Germany. Besides, USA and Germany have no shared border nor intention to create a ‘Union State’.

Belarus Case: Belarus is a member of the military alliance of CSTO (Collective Security Treaty Organization) together with Russia and more CSTO countries. Russia and Belarus have a shared border and ongoing plan to create a ‘Union State’.

Therefore, what is the difference? The double standards of USA that risks the global position of USA, unlikely among the ‘Vassal States’ of USA, namely the members of NATO and EU and other loyal allies of USA, but among the ‘Vassal States’ of Russia and China and even other countries worldwide that have moved to the direction of ‘Russia-China Coalition’, especially since the start war between Ukraine and Russia.

Hence, Based on my analysis, Antagonism is the BIG risk for USA today at the Geopolitics level. This Antagonism pushed many countries to distance themselves from what USA represents, such as USA Dollar, Swift, IMF, and more. The example of the President of Kenya that pushed Africa to stop using US Dollar in trade between other countries unless the trade is made with USA, is a good example of the ‘Resistance Wave’ against USA worldwide, which has triggered by the ‘double standards of USA’, resulting in Antagonism against what USA represents.

To clarify my comment, I think that Nuclear Bombs should not place anywhere because Nuclear war could lead to the extinction of Humanity Nuclear War: Human Extinction - Global Risks by Dr. Ziva Rozen-Bakher
