> The same article the US entered Iraq under. So? Many people equally believe that the Iraq war was unjustified. Just because someone else does something bad, doesn't give you the right or an excuse to also do something bad. > Nobody is going to launch nukes, that’s just silly. Right up until Putin invaded Ukraine, everybody was saying he won't invade Ukraine, that's just silly. But he did anyway. You don't know what Putin will or won't do, especially now that Ukraine turned out to not be so easy to take and the world has largely banded together against him. If he's backed into a corner and feels that he's doomed either way, then who knows what he is willing to do. > He will likely just void IP rights and patents in retaliation to sanctions. He can go for it.
