    It’s cute how if Ukraine fights back that risks nuclear war, but when Russia invades a sovereign country it doesn’t

    • I’ll probably get downvoted to hell but America’s done that for hot minute now and also evades any real criticism from the West. And yes, Russia bad and invasion bad, no question but if we’re keeping score…

          • I don’t disagree, but I don’t think that fits the specific example here. It isn’t so much about an imperial power invading another country, but the country in question fighting back and being discouraged from doing so.

        Not anymore. They gave them to Russia under guarantees they wouldt do… pretty much everything they are doing right now.

        I’m starting to think Russia might not be trustworthy…

          I think he addressed it clearly enough. Russia invading Ukraine has no risk of Ukraine starting a nuclear war. Why? Because Ukraine does not have nukes.

          A country like Russia, if facing an existential threat, has the capacity and incentive to use nuclear weapons. Why? Because they have nukes.

          This is why even the US had hesitations last year (same time this Starlink episode happened) about sending certain types of weapons to Ukraine - out of fear of nuclear escalation. Now that Ukraine has drone striked Russian territory a few times it seems obvious because nuclear escalation hasn’t happened… but Musk was not alone in thinking this. Remember that US refused to give all sorts of weaponry at first. They didn’t want to give fighters jets, tanks, etc.
