Another important point: Ukraine never had the power to use the nuclear weapons on its territory.

Elon Musk was briefly put on a famous Ukrainian 'hit list.'

The creators say it's just a list of the enemies of Ukraine and their addresses.

Judge for yourself: myrotvorets.center

Any Russian who kills President Putin will be seen by Russians as a Western agent.

Best case: The new President is an aggressive nationalist.

Worst case: There's a civil war.

If you want to end the war in Ukraine, the worst thing you could do is kill Vladimir Putin.

Classic tech move, subsidize product until you have a monopoly and then cash in.

France has announced that its nuclear umbrella doesn't extend to Ukraine.

But America and Britain are holding firm.

They claim they *might* fight a global nuclear war over a country that isn't even a NATO member.
