Russia is threatening Sweden and Finland if they join NATO. If I'm Sweden or Finland, I'm joining NATO today. We're seeing what happens to a country if they're not in NATO.
I don't want to post it in here because it's truly awful.... but there's video of a Russian armored vehicle intentionally swerving so they could run over a car coming from the opposite direction.
I saw that, I believe the old man driving survived. There was video of a bunch of civilians helping to get him out.
Ukrainians are holding but Russian troops are on the outskirts of Kiev. 14000 guns have been issued to civilians in Kiev. This will be a terrible bloodbath. I believe Ukrainians will fight to the death. Russians are taking heavier losses in equipment and men than the Ukrainians but they have so much more. It's reported they have only committed one third of the troops that they have surrounding Ukraine. Ukrainians are blowing up bridges to try to prevent encirclement of Kiev, but Russians are bringing temporary bridge material. They are right now bringing in more equipment and forces on trains from Belarus and it's rumored there is a large amphibious landing near Mariupol in the south. Ukraine forces stretch very thin. Ukraine president asking for blockade of Black Sea and enforcement of no fly zone over Ukraine, but very unlikely West would risk war with Russia. https://www.facebook.com/Save-democracy-in-Ukraine-165017730178709/
Yeah, I would think it'd still fall under article 4. Getting to article 5, an attack on them, is a stretch, but if radioactive gasses are released that could harm them, maybe you can see a case for it?
