It’s funny that USA and UK are talking about international law and Ukrainian sovereignty, while they did the opposite in Iraq, Libya etc

The sad thing is ... none of us know the truth.

*Putin is the only player here* *everyone else is just running their mouth*

[szlachtaalek]

Forgot to mention that it's actually Poland and Morawiecki who is quite a big player in this whole crisis. Poland has been one of Ukraine's biggest supporters and also is going to take the brunt of the country's refugees.

We are worried rather than find a way out of the pandemic we are looking for a way to start yet another war so everyone can sell more weapons and who loses /humanity.
I pray to Allah (god) our creator to save us from the comedian politicians and give us leaders who are living in planet earth not Mars and help humanity prosper I hope I have not offended any one all I am worried about is our next generation what kind of world we are leaving for them instead of loving one another we are leaving hatred I say we take a deep breath and reset all the nonsense

If US was in Russia's position it would have done much worse thinga

[knowledge]

difference between "looking dangerous" and "being dangerous".Russia describes military doctrine as defensive military doctrine. With regard to nuclear weapons specifically, Russia reserves the right to use nuclear weapons: in response to the use of nuclear and other types of weapons of mass destruction against it or its allies, in case of aggression against Russia with the use of conventional weapons when the very existence of the state is threatened.

oops google russia deadhand The 'Perimeter' system, dubbed in the United States and Europe the 'Dead Hand', is an automatic control system for a retaliation nuclear strike. To put it simply, if Russia's territory is devastated after a nuclear attack, the Perimeter system automatically strikes the enemy's territory with its own nuclear missiles
