I admire the fact that he isn't discriminating against women. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

| DRich Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 51 Posts: 4969 | I am fascinated by this war. I probably spend at least two hours a day reading up on the day to day of it. I really like this website and read as much of it as I can. The Institute for The Study of War: https://www.understandingwar.org/ At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

| PotPie Member since: Oct 9, 2022 Threads: 5 Posts: 310 | The U.S. had less justification for invading Vietnam then Putin has for invading Ukraine. Not trying to say that Putin was justified, or that he's not a horrible, evil tyrant. Just saying. the foolish sayings of a rich man pass for words of wisdom by the fools around him |

Whatever moral high ground Putin might have started with, he’s pretty much squandered it at this point. Hadn’t thought about the Vietnam comparison, but I do agree with you. Edit - he’s been squandering it month after month, with little regard for any life at all AFAICT. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |
