Good one. Few governments whine like Russia. Though Biden and Trudeau are in the running. Drama Queen Foreign Policy.

I would answer yes to questions two and three. Unless they were bona fide members of ANTIFA and/or BLM. And I do not think they are. I would say don’t. Because most of those in the pokey are innocent bystanders.
I agree on this point
Ukraine and NATO should have totally stopped all the

He’s based.
A Soviet foreign minister is going to do Soviet things. This ones no exception.
Having watched them in action for about 5 hours, I would say many are not squeaky clean and while probably not ashamed are probably in many cases sorry they made the mistake of first rioting, and then by breaking and entering compounded the felony.
“gleeaikin (Question authority) “
Doesn’t sound like you’re capable of your own tag line.
For someone who has his head on straight on other topics - including the jabs - you sure tripped and fell deep into your nether region on Ukraine.
I have certainly questioned Fouci, often and in detail.
