> thin air Except for the mountain of evil, violent, underhanded and illegal stuff Russia keeps getting caught doing, and has so far escaped scot-free due to Western cowardice?

No, they were suggesting attacking it based on speculation about this specific event, so yes out of thin air. I agree that Russia is evil, but saying that it got away with it Scot free is just insane. In fact it even plays into Russian propaganda, to say that nothing really harmed them even after the past 3 years of international sanctions and consequences. And western cowardice? Apart from nuclear war (which I'm glad people are being "cowardly" about), what do you suggest? It's also funny when war mongers online talk about cowardice. Why dont you go volunteer in Ukraine if you're such a non coward?

  > Apart from nuclear war > It's also funny when war mongers online talk about cowardice > Why dont you go volunteer in Ukraine if you're such a non coward? This is an impressive feat. You've managed to package not one -- not two -- but THREE Russian propaganda talking points into a single paragraph. I believe I've just witnessed the second coming of Alexander Pushkin.

    And you've managed to pull the typical online war mongers deflection of calling me a Russian shill. Let's say you're right, I'm a complete Russian shill (nevermind that I completely abhor the Russian regime since their intervention in Syria, and think that Putin belongs to the Hague tribunal). Are you going to actually dismiss the fact that yes, nuclear war would be a very likely possibility if we declared war against Russia? Much more likely than... Not doing that? Or are you going to use the Reddit argument that somehow, it just won't happen because trust me bro, and only Russian shill would care about getting nuclear bombed? And yes, it's cowardly to call people cowards because they won't push for a war that you yourself won't fight. I didn't bring up cowardice first by the way, but I guess it's fine to do it when you agree with the person lol.

      You seem pretty upset. Are you okay?

        I'm not. But you are the one going around accusing people of being Russian shills, I hope your little red scare gets better and you move on from Redditor style arguments :)
