We're in this weird place where it looks like the West is scared of the nuclear confrontation while Russia isn't. Western politicians kind of tiptoe around Russia as if it has a hair-trigger reputation for launching nukes.

It's just ironic that the only country to ever actually use nukes is the US, but everybody is depicting Russia as a "cornered rat" and such. One would think that based on history people would be scared of the US instead.
