robplum: they forgot to mention, minor detail i only read about last few days!!
President Vladimir Putin has said that Russia is militarily ready for a Cuban Missile-style crisis if the United States is foolish enough to want one and that his country currently has the edge when it comes to a first nuclear strike.
The Cuban Missile crisis erupted in 1962 when Moscow responded to a US missile deployment in Turkey by sending ballistic missiles to Cuba, sparking a standoff that brought the world to the brink of nuclear war.
More than five decades on, tensions are rising again over Russian fears that the United States might deploy intermediate-range nuclear missiles in Europe as a landmark cold war-era arms control treaty unravels.
Have to admire your head in the sand approach Conrad,
Is this what you call cracked history? American nuclear weapons, which were first deployed in Turkey in 1959, were considered to be a symbol of the American commitment to Turkish defense. More ominously, the forward deployment of the Jupiter missile was a symbol of the American willingness to use nuclear weapons against either a Russian conventional or unconventional invasion force. The 1 megaton warheads were always in American custody; however, the authority to launch the missile was reserved for both American and Turkish air crews.
In 1962, the nuclear stockpile of the United States, consisting of more than 3,500 warheads, was six times that of the Soviet Union
Under NATO nuclear weapons sharing, the United States has provided nuclear weapons for Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Turkey to deploy and store.
confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union initiated by American ballistic missile deployment in Italy and Turkey with consequent Soviet ballistic missile deployment in Cuba.

Let me try to simplify for u. From TGC the gospel coalition:
9. Under the guise of implementing “anti-terrorism” measures, Putin adopted laws in 2016 that restrict religious freedom and criminalize missionary activities. According to the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), the Russian president signed into law measures that redefine “missionary activities” as religious practices that take place outside of state-sanctioned sites. The law bans “preaching, praying, proselytizing, and disseminating religious materials” outside of sites officially designated by the state. Citizens can also be fined up to $15,000 for engaging in these activities in private residences or distributing unauthorized religious materials through “mass print, broadcast, or online media.” Foreign missionaries also must prove they were invited by state-registered religious groups and must operate only in regions where their sponsoring organizations are registered. Missionaries who fail to comply face harsh fines and deportation
C'mon rappy ... quote something that's not BS from the mouth a US NGO that exists solely for the purpose of inventing and promoting anti-Russian Propaganda.
YES he turfed out a number of US FAKE religious missionary organisations ...
