      You think it’s not possible to be aggressive unless you’ve invaded somwhere? Curious.

      I guess there’s no China aggression against Taiwan then. Agreed?

        Yes, it’s possible to be an aggressor without crossing borders. For example, by claiming international, shared, or someone else’s EEZ waters as your own, as China has done.

          Every single country in the region claims territory. Every one.

        Agreed. China is openly hostile towards Taiwan, but it has not committed any actual acts of aggression and none of China’s actions warrant a military response.

          Threatening nukes is not aggressive in your world.

            Well when you invade a country then threaten nukes it certainly shows Russian aggression as you say.

              Russia has never threatened nukes. Only the west and Ukraine has.

                    Tell you what, since you first suggested it without a source, you provided a source that the West is threatening nuclear exchange then I will waste some time bringing you up a dozen where Russia has alluded to it.
