Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Ukraine has been nuked? Or perhaps that's read as "used" as a threat. In any case, the point was that the previous agreements did not provide any defense guarantees.
And what is article 4 in relation to the UN security council? There have been several security council meetings on Ukraine.
Read a little more carefully...
experience an act of aggression OR be threatened with nukes. The first has occurred... it does not have to include being attacked with nukes.
I mean, we got both. Putin has implicitly and explicitly threatened nuclear strikes many times.
it’s definitively ambiguous. you can’t say either way with only the english.
You need english classes
Any lawyers in here? Settle this argument
Wow, stop giving them a hard time... the fact that there's disagreement here demonstrates the ambiguousness, he's just right.
that;s not how it works. If I say sarcasm is the same thing as seriousness, that doesnt make it the definition of sarcasm ambiguous.
Nice edit after the fact.
There have been Article 4 meetings on Ukraine, all brought (and signed on to) by member states that are NOT signatories on the Budapest Memorandum. None of those countries upheld their legal obligations to bring the matter to the security council.
These are all well-established matters of record on the UN website, and since you're willfully ignoring established fact, engaging with you on this is no longer productive.
Have the day you voted for.
Wow. Reading comprehension isn't your thing.
That two letter word between the two types of wars is "OR", and delineates two separate, but related, things.
both of these readings are valid:
(should become a victim of an act of aggression) or (an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used)
((should become a victim of an act of aggression) or (an object of a threat of aggression)) in which nuclear weapons are used
english is ambiguous in this case. don’t be dismissive of people for “reading comprehension” when it’s definitively ambiguous
