Russia did invade Ukraine in the first season of MP. It ended when Russia tried to use nuclear weapons and we said it was unrealistic.
laughs nervously
edit: also the nato response to the situation was massive sanctions and military support for Ukraine. In the following months, the Russian economy tanked and there was an energy crisis in Europe.
The US player made Ukraine a "major none NAto ally" before russia attacked and got the us involved. I remember the endless roll sequences without much input from the us and the russia player.
You megalomaniacs.
