If you want to dispense justice, then I should remind you that Lady Justice is blindfolded for a reason. If you want to selectively punish China but not others then it's not justice, those who are punished immediately see that it has

In other news, the US, NATO and friends in this century alone destroyed Iraq, Libya, almost destroyed Syria and Yemen and did a few other nasty things that resulted in at least a million dead. Do you have a big enough item 5 for that?

That's what I said in my last sentence, so I guess you agree with me, otherwise I am not sure what your point is.

They can have all the lavish lifestyle they want in Russia, as those that reside there already do. The idea that they would put pressure on Putin is silly, it's the opposite, Russia in fact puts pressure on those who don't want to

Huh? How on earth would it "hurt Putin" to expel oligarchs who ran away from the Russian state in the first place? An the UK has no guts to do it because it collects rich crooks from all over the world to spend their money in Lond

There were no storms. I lived in the USSR at the time and once even went to a show where Kuryokhin performed. Thankfully his performance wasn't the whole show (it was Viacheslav Polunin why I went there) because it was extremely lame I

No confirmation from the NSA, only "leaks" from anonymous "multiple people with knowledge of the matter." How do we know it's not another piece of fake news riding the wave of "Russia did it"?

Is it as ridiculous as US spreading propaganda against Saddam's Iraq?

by igivanov 9y ago
Dunno how, IANAL. But I trust that the US government, or the establishment in general, can make anyone's life miserable if there is a political will. Also, have the laws been amended to deal with similar offenses in the future?
