It's not the whole society that is murdering their neighboors. If that were true, all americans should be considered criminals.

- staticman2 5y agoThe Russians are all complicit since they are all paying taxes to fund the war and obeying the dictator's edicts (unless they are in prison.) Maybe it's true of Americans for the war in Iraq or whatever but my objection is specifically to the weird (to me) use of the word "punishment" in the post I replied to. I'd say don't talk about "punishment" as if your position has a moral high ground. Let's talk about being complicit. The post above argues we should help fund the war efforts to kill Ukrainians through profitable business relations with the Russians, and the poster apparently thinks they have the moral high ground given the use of the word "punishment" to describe the the idea we shouldn't help the Russians continue to fund their efforts to kill people.
