>Only way to peacefully coexist with Russia is by either becoming their puppet

Finland has been peacefully coexisting with USSR and Russia for almost 80 years after the WW2.

>would be supplying all its neighbours with big pile of nuclear weapons

Russia could do that too. Starting with Cuba, for example. Think of every country the US ever invaded or bombed having nukes and the means to deliver them to the US.

Or arming Mexican cartels. The Chinese mafia (wink wink) is already doing money laundering for them in US/EU.

>arming Mexican cartels

It would hurt Mexicans and just plain evil.

The CIA and the Department of State did worse already all around the globe. US can't claim the moral high ground on this. So yeah, maybe think about the consequences of escalation.
I'm Russian.
I wasn't aiming the "maybe think about it" at you.
Thanks, but still, I don't want my country to be doing this unequivocally evil thing.
