Evanescent- let's see.
1) Nuclear attack? all big talk because that is the end game, No winners. Besides, we are aiming at them with our nuclear weapons too. You don't seem to complain about that.
2) Cyber attacks? Again, we are doing the same to them if not more. How else we gather our military intelligence?
3) Nuclear warheads flying? By pushing Ukraine into war with Russia will stop that and give us 100% security? Nope. In a modern era (in your own words) , only trading and partnership with other countries will give you 100% security.
4) Last but not least, Russia is NOT the Soviet Union. Their economy is the same size as that of the Texas. They don't have enough of resources to invade other countries. Their military spending was around $60 billions a year ( to protect their entire borders) which is the same as the US has spent on UKraine in the last 6 months or so. Their military hardware is not exactly the world class. How can Russia be a threat to the West? maybe it is your imaginations after all.
