Good point about border security. True what you said. What I meant it’s difficult for two strong nations not to take advantage of a weak area in-between. So Russia applies pressure in Donbas. Iran applies pressure to Israel through Lebanon. The U.S. tries to get some nukes launched by arming Taiwan.

Couldn’t agree with you more about the threat of nuclear war. On that I try not to think about it because I see no way to prevent something from happening.
