Right, if you were in power people fleeing over the berlin wall would have been shot from both sides, not just by the soviets. Cause they should have stayed inside and overthrown the soviet government. Same goes for north koreans, shoot them and send them back, let them fight the government.

- asats 5y agoThe only reason it didn't fall sooner is because you didn't shoot enough fleeing refugees. Got it.
- Etherlord87 5y ago^ the above is a nice example of a strawman[1]. Obviously putting sanctions on citizens of an invading country is very far from shooting them, and yet asats decided to portray his debater as a leader who would murder other people, because perhaps it's too exhausting for him to have an actual, substantive conversation.

- asats 5y agoThe argument was not about the imposition of sanctions on the citizens but about punishing the mostly anti-government people that are currently fleeing the country. Also my debater accepted the argument and wrapped himself in that straw.
