So Russia doesn’t get to judge for itself the severity of a threat? That’s a power reserved exclusively for us?
Existence doesn't equal threat. Or I could say you being alive is a threat to me, and I could end the threat without repercussion. Or Osama bin Laden could have stated America was a threat and we shouldn't have retaliated. Or we could justify going to war with Putin because we judged he's a threat.
No, the world doesn't work that way, buttercup.
