Musk was reportedly motivated to foil the attack out of concern that a strike on Crimea would constitute a “mini-Pearl Harbor” and lead to Russia retaliating with nuclear weapons

So glad the blue-checks get to dictate our foreign policy now.

What was all that DoD money for? A suggestion box?

TBF Russia invading Ukraine has turned out to be like Pearl Harbor (the Ben Affleck movie).

Michael Bay making a movie that he thought would gain him prestige but it ended up it was way longer than it should've been and no one liked it.

Yup that analogy checks out.
