Haha, it's all so funny... but you know what, Ric? I'm pretty sure that both NATO/USSR ICBMs were/are aimed at my city... after all it's an important port, where opposing forces could make a bridgehead (and I've already seen unloaded UN vehicles going South to Balkans during the war in former Yugoslavia). No matter what were the beliefs of our population, NATO had to target this potential site in Warsaw Pact country. And today, when Poland is semi-openly called "a threat" by Russia, you think they wouldn't try to "turn off" our shipyard facilities in nukyular
attack if the war breaks out? (God forbid! 
)
I'm telling you, it's a real "luck" to be in the middle of that ****** Europe...
But at least I have post-WW2 German bunker about 5 min. of (fast) walk from here...

I think there are probably still a lot of Russians who don't like the current Geo-Political climate in Europe and the US, and with NATO expanded the way it has, they would have almost no choice but to use nukes in a first strike situation...unfortunately.
