No you dont, our Country does it all the time and you a) don't know and b) don't care because you don't know. This time you "have a hard time" because the media tells you to. Bark. Sit. Rollover. Good boy.

That, ladies and gentlemen, is called tipping your hand.

russia invades less powerful nations, kills civilians intentionally, and decimates the infrastructure. It's what they do. Holding that as 'reasonable' is just sad.

If russia ever engaged a capable military, they would get their teeth kicked in. They know it. Heck, looking at comparable sizes Ukraine has absolutely humiliated the russian military. russia will likely end up capturing territory, but based simply on cannon fodder numbers alone.

Yes, I tipped my hand...by arguing that same point for over a month now. Glad you are catching on.

The rest of your post is untrue assumptions based on western propaganda.

Seems stupid. Doesn’t hurt Putin and the individuals have nothing to do with the war.

Disagree.

We are all combatants - direct or indirect.

By paying taxes here, we each are helping arm Ukraine. Ditto all Russians in helping Russia.

All's fair in love and war.

Maybe we should tax Americans of Russian descent double? Or Americans that agree with Putin double?

This is absurd.

I doubt many of the tennis players playing under the Russian flag live in Russia. Pretty sure Medvedev lives in Monte Carlo.

I love the Founders to death but sometimes they still make me chuckle. They warned against foreign alliances shortly after welcoming massive aid from France in defeating the British. Humans in every time, even the most honorable ones, displays remarkable ability to modify their views in response to current circumstances (and yes, I clearly do so too) 😂

No it won’t. If you haven’t made your mind up on Putin at this point, you’re brain dead.

Yes it will. People are making their minds up based on the information they are receiving. This will be another piece of undeniable information that will be hard to hide from the Russian people.

I'm still following your recommendation.
Today was Federalist No 2: John Jay
The foundational premise for this paper is the first sentence of the second paragraph....
Nothing is more certain than the indispensable necessity of government, and it is equally undeniable, that whenever and however it is instituted, the people must cede to it some of their natural rights in order to vest it with requisite powers.

Something (someone) else for @hog88 to hate.

By your reasoning everyone is fair game when the bullets start flying.

I don't disagree with that statement, what I find shocking is you agree that we have natural rights not given by the government.

Then you haven't been paying very close attention.
Or, you have been paying close attention but you just aren't very clever.

At some point one has to consider if this isnt incompetence but a deliberate attempt to devalue the dollar...
