“”Did you know that “Russian” Sergei lived in Beverly Hills, and died there? And that he is buried in the Kensico Cemetery, Valhalla, New York?””
I did not - thanks....
You seem excited
REMF = rear echelon mofo.
Pressure against Russia will be ineffective only if Russia can oppose it with greater pressure. Is self-respect a form of pressure?

Unable to defeat his opponents militarily, Sherman waged a terrorist campaign against undefended old men, women and children. I guess you're one of those "the end justifies the means" people.
You lost, mabey they shouldn’t have committed treason against the US. Go form your own nation called lost cause land on an island somewhere. You are JUST like the left.
Point out to me the convictions for treason. Go ahead. I’ll wait.
None were made after the War, in order to facilitate reconciliation after the South had been defeated. The South would have fared FAR worse under Jackson, although they might not have tried it with him.
Salmon P. Chase from New Hampshire was Chief Justice of the Supreme Court from 1864 to 1873. He told Federal prosecutors to not try anyone for treason because he wasn’t sure the charges could be proved and he didn’t want the precedent on the record. Things in 1865 were a whole less cut and dried than people today think they were.
To return to the original point, Sherman couldn’t win on the battlefield so he waged a campaign of terror on undefended old men, women and children. Whether they were treasonous or not (treasonous children?) is irrelevant. They were non-combatant civilians.
Like I said, the South was LUCKY that Jackson was not President during the Covil War.
