    As a former SSR that held nuclear weapons on its territory before 1968, they even oughta be free and clear with respect to the non proliferation treaty.

    Is that true? If the worst comes to pass, I wonder what the UN will say (not that it matters…)

      what the UN will say

      “Well, they have nukes now, so international law is now more like international suggestions for them”

      This is NonCredibleDefense. So it’s true if it would be funny if it were true.

        In UN

        Russia’s deligate is beyond furious. Most everyone has an awkward look. China is getting very annoyed with their vassal’s war, and someone on the floor:

        wringing hands “Well technically its within Ukraine’s rights…”

          They didn’t see this coming? It seems like it’s super easy to surprise UN security council members.
