We were talking about rogue states fighting for global domination and
I'm only mentioning USA as an example of them. For us in Latin America
Stalin's Russia was always less dangerous than USA, so their possession
of an A-Bomb was not worst than USA's possession, and people from 
Nagasaki and Hiroshima probably agrees with me. 
Another thing is the fact you put only part of the phrase I wrote. Hadn't
you did it, the other members of the list would realize that the topic
isn't so far from the question we are discussing. You're saying that a 
A-Bomb in hands of Stalin's USSR is a bad thing and I think the evil
resides in the monopoly of this kind of weapon.
