Yes I have heard of that phrase, as have most people I think.

Russia was very explicit in what would happen if the west kept promising NATO membership to Ukraine, and then it did as promised. No such situation exists for any current NATO or EU member state.

To add to this Russia and Ukraine were already de facto at war since 2014, promising a military alliance to a country at war without expecting escalation is just plain stupid.

And just to reiterate, starting a war of aggression is the principal war crime and should not go without consequences. But we do need to live together with Russia on one continent and this requires concessions from both sides, because the alternative is the mass death and destruction that we now see in Ukraine.

This is not how ven diagrams work, this is not at all how ven diagrams work.

If I was interviewing a Proud Boy it would sound a lot more like that gorilla joke from 1897.

Anything left of the Democrats is Russian propaganda because it has to be. If there exists a big constituency left of the Democrats than that would mean that that constituency has no political representation, due to the first pass the post system and systematic suppression by the Democrats of their left flank within the party. This would mean American democracy is hugely flawed and extra-electoral action is justified to manifest change, but this can not be the case so Q.E.D. it is all Russian disinformation. Google “Russia BLM” for some more concern trolling of this kind.

I’m personally also against life imprisonment, you are either rehabilitated or if this is deemed dangerous for society you are mentally ill and should be treated. In such a treatment the patient can decide that their life is not worth living, and with permission from a psychiatrist they can then be euthanized.

They did the risk management: they deemed the risk 0% that the government would not bail them out.

A crime is a crime, a joke is a joke, and the death penalty is a violation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
