racedo do you not understand the meaning of the word 'threat'? You need to issue such edicts so that when the crunch comes and you need to take out the military installations that these regimes have deliberately placed in the middle of civilian areas, you hopefully will minimise civilian deaths.
Assume then you don't have a problem with Russia and China carrying out similar when US / Nato park its military on another countrys borders...
Do you really think that either Russia or China would give a ***** about civilian deaths in a war against the west? I don't, nukes are not selective.
