So yesterday Russia shot down a commercial airliner and intentionally destroyed a major undersea power connection between Finland and Estonia, in case you're wondering if Russian military aggression is limited to Ukraine.
so, the US invaded Iraq arguing a pack of lies as justification, killing millions of innocent Iraqis because the US regime didn't like their ruler. and their oil - wanted the oil.
the US is a predator nation, unprecedented in world history.

Euh... I totally opposed to US invasion of Irak, but your tooth is a total offtopic here.
Yeah, Irak invasion had not nearly enough justification, and Putin has given much more reasons for retaliation than Hussein did. But what are you arguing for? A NATO invasion of Russia?
About precedents: obviously, you are not a history major.
according to putin, if the Ukraine agreed not to seek NATO membership, he would not start a war.
what is the purpose of NATO anymore, anyway? the risk of invasion and war with the Soviet Union?
MAYBE if diplomatic solutions were considered, instead of blowing nations all to hell just to create economic opportunities for the invading nations? like NATO did to Yugoslavia?
maybe if the US stopped funding terrorists to attack and destabilize the nations of the former USSR, Russia wouldn't feel it is under attack by the West.
@StopTheSweepsPDX @drgeraint @petergleick
Which terrorists?
I hope you are not referring to the LGTBI people Putin has re framed recently as terrorists.
That would be a laugh.
The West has made a huge effort to be friends with Russia, and Russia has back-stabbed us.
They signed a treaty promising to defend (not only respect) Ukraine limits. That's what Putin's word is worth.
Only a total moron would believe in Putin's friendship after Ukraine.
