North Korea shoots off missiles in an effort to get our attention and end sanctions. So, they are trying to make us afraid of them by bullying.

Russia amasses thousands of troops near the Ukraine border, moves in hardware, deploys medical units, and sends ships out. They want NATO to ban Ukraine and remove weapons from wherever we have stashed them. So, they are trying to make us afraid of WWIII by bullying.

They can't be trusted. Show us you won't start war by pulling your troops back. Otherwise, what you did as opposed to what you say will be the order of the day.
