Russian police have put Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas, Lithuania's culture minister and members of the previous Latvian parliament on a wanted list, according to the Russian Interior Ministry's database.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Kallas was wanted for the "desecration of historical memory".

Russian state agency TASS said the Baltic officials were accused of "destroying monuments to Soviet soldiers", acts that are punishable by a 5-year prison term under the Russian criminal code.

You were implying and you know it. (So you are okay with…)

That said, I don’t know many issues that concern me less than Russians arresting me in America for tearing down statues.
It’s below concern for alien anal probes.

Almost zero Americans care.

It’s called an analogy.

That’s not an analogy. That’s a “So…” statement, intended to lead viewers/readers into false assumptions.

C’mon. You’re better than that.
