That's nothing new, nor do they limit their targets to Christians. I know this because I've heard about it from my dentist--an Iraqi Jew who fled the country ~30 years ago.
I guess somebody needs to go back to madrassa and review the bits about showing respect for the Peoples of the Book, eh.
The first 3 terms of the agreement are:
1. Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty within its existing borders.
2. Refrain from the threat or use of force against Ukraine.
3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine in order to influence its politics.
I don't see anything in there specifying *nuclear* force, do you?
Now it's true that Item 5 from the same list is "Refrain from use of nuclear arms against Ukraine" but I think it's pretty clear from the context that this is *not* intended to mean "Refrain from use of nuclear arms against Ukraine [but other forms of armament are fine]".
Perish the thought that I should be seen agreeing with coldfjord about anything, but... Fuck that.
He remembered a little history, and got it spot on, this time.
Spot. Fucking. On.
I would even mod this up, had I not already spent my points in another thread this morning.
Typical corporate behavior - lobby incessantly against regulation but when caught in blatant malfeasance shirk accountability with the excuse "it may be unethical but it is not illegal"
It's more like, "If we ask, we know that we'll be told it's illegal. Therefore, we won't ask."
Intruder is saying he already had the right to break into the house. No need to ask for permission.
That's right. He owns the house. And guess what. A landlord can go into your apartment without your permission also.
That's not quite how it has worked in in my experience as a renter in the US, Australia, and Sweden.

People who think they're being clever by overriding my font choices tend to get ignored by me unless it's to apply a -1, Pretentious and Self-Serving. And I've mod points today. Just sayin'...
Seriously, quit trying to do the I'm A Special Snowflake Pretending I'm Using A Retro-Trendy IBM Selectric And Everyone Else Must Participate In My Little Fantasy thing and let your message speak for itself.
Linky?
Cheers.
I see we've had a visit from someone with mod points and without a sarcasm detector. Sorry about that, AC.
Dammit, kids, some of us have to get up in the morning and go to work.
Any more noise from the basement and I'm coming down there to knock your heads together.
Aren't you happy to know that you're not flaming some fake Zontar?
You fly into a Malaysian airport with dope--that's trafficking. Better hope you can bribe the hangman well enough that he actually makes the rope long enough to break your neck.
But don't take my word for it--try it yourself with a small amount and let us know how that works out for you.
Right, because you were in the cabin with him all that time.
