A pretty sound argument can be made that the reactions of the international community are consistent with intolerance of the intolerant (in this case, a superpower that decided to invade a neighbor without cause or provocation).
The hate mail to and vandalism of innocent businesses e.g restaurants (Russia House in DC for instance) needs to stop, but RT is a state media arm and is thus complicit by nature with its parent government's decisions. Since nobody within the apparatus is choosing to rebel against state-sanctioned intolerance of another country's sovereignty, it's clear the whole organization needs to be addressed.
- sinyug 5y ago> A pretty sound argument can be made No, it cannot. The US and Europe accusing Russia of acting without provocation is like a serial killer with 600 dead girls buried in his basement complaining to the cops about his noisy neighbor. > intolerance of another country's sovereignty, 2003. Iraq. Ukraine was a part of the "coalition of the willing" which invaded the sovereignty of another country.
- user-the-name 5y ago"Noisy neighbour"? Here you are again, completely dismissing that Russia is killing innocent civilians as we speak. I am losing my ability to give you the benefit of the doubt here. Why are you constantly minimising the crimes Russia is committing right this moment?
