“None of these nations is a threat to Moscow.”
Stopping Rogozin on a diplomatic visit, boarding his plane, and taking documents from a Russian diplomat is enough to go to *WAR* over. Not to mention intercepting a national aircraft on a diplomatic mission, like the coup government did over Ukraine.
Wars have started over much smaller diplomatic incidents. That is a CLEAR casus beli. And Russia has every right under established doctrines, including our own, to respond to it.
Which brings me back to the White House...
Go to war over it? Seriously?
Wow.
So you think tens of thousands of people should die over it?
Like I said, wow.
