  1. 1. A country belongs to the people that live there, ruling Ukraine, a country clearly with a national identity, from Moscow, is imperialism. 2. The UN observers mission has published civilian casualty rates in the Donbas conflict since 2014. They put total civilian deaths through to February 2022 at about 3,400. Of that total, about 2,900 were killed in 2014 and 2015. The civilian death rate on both sides in recent years, since before Zelensky was elected in 2019, is about two dozen a year, the majority of those deaths being caused by explosive remnants of war and landmines expended and planted in the earlier years of the conflict. Yearly civilian deaths on both sides from active military operations has been less than 10 each year in those recent years. 3. The only nuclear weapons that nato has had deployed in continental Europe since the end of the Cold War are B61 free fall bombs designated to be carried on the F16 and Tornado aircraft of 5 European air forces (Dutch, Belgian, Italian, German and Turkish) the 6 bases where these weapons are located, are all over 2,000 km from Moscow. There is no possibility that Nato would suddenly deploy these weapons closer to Russia or deploy other nuclear weapons in Europe (Europeans stood against such deployments, stopping them, in the past). So, a Nato nuclear threat to Russia from Ukraine soil is nonsense. A Russian nuclear threat to Nato from Belarus, however, is very real.
