- JumpCrisscross 5y ago> US were on the brink of a full-scale invasion when they discovered rockets on Cuba But we didn’t. We made specific threats with specific remedies. And there were nukes. Russia has invaded. It never made reasonable demands. (Asking for your puppet back in power isn’t reasonable. And there was zero pretext for Crimea.) The last time there were nukes in Ukraine, Kyiv gave them in exchange for Russian security guarantees.
