| Estonia's parliament declares Russia a ‘terrorist regime' |
| 2022-10-19 |
| [Aljazeera] Estonian lawmakers have adopted a statement that declares Russia a "terrorist regime" and condemns its recent annexation of four Ukrainian territories. Of the 101 MPs, 88 on Tuesday voted in favour, 10 were absent and three abstained. The parliament "declares Russia a terrorist regime and the Russian Federation a country that supports terrorism", the statement said. Russian President Vladimir "Putin’s regime, with its threats of a nuclear attack, has turned Russia into the biggest danger to peace both in Europe and in the whole world," it said. Putin, who in late February sent troops into neighbouring Ukraine for a second time, has repeatedly cautioned Western countries that any attack on Russia could provoke a nuclear response. This month, the Russian president also signed laws admitting the self-styled Donetsk and Luhansk people’s republics, Kherson and Zaporizhia into Russia after referendums denounced by Ukraine and its allies as "shams" with no legal consequences. The Estonian parliament also said it considers it "necessary to define the armed forces of the so-called Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics established by the Russian Federation as well as the Wagner private military company as terrorist organisations". |

| #9 Wow, amazing. When the whole idea is "nuclear war is bad and we shouldn't have one" the comments say "how much is the Kremlin paying you to say that." Insanity. |

| #8 Naah I wouldn't say superior. A lot of the 'boo hoo hoo our capabilities are not that groovy' is often disinformation for the osint rubes to propagate. The USA is still the most dangerous dawg in the game. And that's a good thing. Except for the pols who run it. People you can't trust with a cigar let alone a nuke. |

| #6 NFU is really dumb when your (our) interceptor capabilities suck: Physicists Argue US ICBM Defenses Are Unreliable March 1, 2022 AIP A new study sponsored by the American Physical Society concludes that U.S. systems for intercepting intercontinental ballistic missiles cannot be relied on to counter even a limited nuclear strike and are unlikely to achieve reliability within the next 15 years. |

| #5 India and China are the only nuke countries with a formal NFU policy. Of course, it's only a kind of resolution. Immaterial in the heat of real world conditions. NFU is dumb. Might as well wait for the bombs to fall stoically. MAD is dumb too. And humanity will not be allowed to mutually assuredly destruct from on high. |

| #2 ...so, they'll be condemning the US for its state-sponsored terrorism real soon now, right? ...Right? Ah crap. Tell me again, which country has a no-first-use policy on nuclear weapons? Hint: it ain't the USA. Read here: https://armscontrolcenter.org/issues/no-first-use/ As President Reagan said, “A nuclear war can never be won and must never be fought.” Accusing the US of bombing the Nordstream pipelines is called a conspiracy theory. Accusing Russia of doing the exact same thing is called The News. |
