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

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Ukraine doesn’t have nukes
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...
Too bad so sad! Should have been smart like Kim Jong. Keep some nukes and you don’t get invaded.
You make a good point. Ukraine should build some of their own nukes.
They would have to figure out how to do it and they aren’t smart enough, better if they ask Russia to lend them some in exchange for surrendering all disputed territories.
wtf? bruh is this a Russian shill account?
Hang on... That's sabotage. Straight up. That's a criminal offence no?
For what countries laws? He's not a Ukrainian citizen
So if you're not an American you're free to sabotage the US as much as you want and it's not a crime?
Yeah but it's not called treason, treason is to your own country, ofc this is still an illegal offense in Ukraine but I don't think it's treason?
Fucking charge him with something. This is insane... If it's not treason, it sure as hell is undermining the billions of dollars in aid were sending Ukraine. We've sent 76 billion dollars so far.
Stop trying to tell a private citizen and businessman what he can and can’t do with his own business
Where do you draw the line? Should he also be allowed to sell his services to Russia? Should private companies from the US be allowed to sell arms to Russia?
Is this not treason? Like legitimately, technically.
It may be a violation of the Logan Act, which makes it illegal for private citizens to interfere with foreign relations.
