Why blame Prig when Ukraine is right there ... ?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

As a Ukrainian I actually agree. Russia has been blaming everything they've done on Ukraine, there's no reason to blame it on Prig instead of Ukraine, and it doesn't matter that it makes no sense

NATO made it clear that any fallout from a nuclear attack in Ukraine reaching a member state would trigger article 5. If Putin thinks he can pin such an attack on a rogue actor like Prig instead of Russia then maybe he can get away with it.

It's actually US legislation that says so. I haven't seen any news about NATO adopting that stance yet.

I am pretty sure if fallout were to reach Poland, they would invoke article 5 and launch The Winged Hussars toward Moscow.
