Russia has directly threatened US with nuclear war several times since Ukraine war began. They have also attacked our banks, cities, institutions, governments with ransom ware and have used misinformation campaigns to influence democratic US elections. Omg I almost forgot that the Charlottesville neo nazi March where a woman was murdered was planned and organized by Russia.
Oh and remember when Russia hacked the DNC to steal emails about Clinton and Sanders ( also fuck the DNC for that nonsense) which they sold to the Trump campaign. And how a Russian spy was arrested in the US when she was caught funneling Russian money through the NRA to Trump.
These are just the first things to come to mind I’m sure there is so much more I’m forgetting
Russia is not cuba. Cuban here, btw.
Your phrasing sort of made it sound like you were saying Russia isn't a threat. But yeah it sucks that Cuba is still embargoed. I hope that changes soon.
No it didn't. Your interpretation of my phrasing did. He was speaking about Cuba and the embargo and I was responding to that statement, not the top comment.
This is how threaded discussions work.
It sure did, the replies to your comment prove it. You were replying to someone who suggested we apply Cuba treatment to Russia. Russia was the subject here.
Miscommunication happens and I see you don't really want to hear about it.
