“Russia warns humanity at risk if West seeks to punish it over Ukraine”

Funny, I wasn’t aware Russia had any humanity left. Oh, you mean…

“The idea of punishing a country that has one of the largest nuclear potentials is absurd. And potentially poses a threat to the existence of humanity…”

In other words, “Russia poses a threat to the existence of humanity.”

Thanks for stating the obvious. We know. The only question is how do we neutralise this threat?

Don't want to live in either one, really. One is screwing up as badly as the other. Just because Russia is screwing up right now and closer to me doesn't mean I forget how the US is kidnapping people all over the world, torturing people in special camps and threatened military action if the ICHR ever tried a US citizen. Or when they threatened military action if oil and gas were traded in EUR instead of USD.

I've been to Russia once myself (Samara, about 12, 15 years ago). Was very nice there, loved the baked potatoes that you could buy at small booths along the Danube.

I've also been to the US once, Seattle, similarly long ago.

I loved both places. Can't say where I'd go, though. Wouldn't want Russia because of the international isolation it's currently seeing. Wouldn't want the US, either, because I don't want to be "interrogated" due to a 10 year old Facebook post.

for *years*, after first incorporating in 2016, then moving to Estonia in 2019, I had people ask me, terrified “but...so close to Russia!?”.

Every single time, I'd reply “you know, when Russia decides to attack an EU & NATO member state, well have waaaayy bigger problems on our head than just my company & house. We'll be thorougly fucked.”

Well, it's 2022, and yupp, we are quite comprehensively fucked ☹️
