Russia can go fuck itself. United States is giving military spending money to a lot of countries, and in case of Ukraine, the US has supported Ukraine militarily since the fall of the Soviet Union.

Russia has no business whatsoever in the internal or foreign affairs of Ukraine that don't concern them.

That’s not how the world works. There are no “rights” for any countries, they all do what they think they can get away with (physically or in the public eye). If the US has a right to interfere (positively, by funding/supporting) then Russia has a right to warn them off. It’s geopolitics and no actions are free of consequences. There are no “rights.”

Yes, for this exact reason I didn't use the word "rights"

How does it not concern them? This is exactly the same scenario as the Cuban missile crisis playing out in reverse. Do you think the United States had no business in the foreign affairs of Cuba as the soviets placed ICBMs there?

Ukraine wasn't threatening anyone and it doesn't even have any nuclear weapons.

The Soviet Union placing ICBMs 100 miles from Florida is very much a threat.
