A more accurate parallel would be the US response to the Soviets incursion into Cuba in 1962, and the response to it by Kennedy. The UN posed a very real threat to Russia with it's creeping expansion on Russia's border and the US sponsored coup in Ukraine by Vicky Nuland.
Wow, that is such a jumbled mess I have no idea what to even think about it.
But I am curious, exactly how was the UN a threat to Russia, and what exactly are their borders that were creeping?
