Same thought. Who are we to determine the rights of a sovereign nation.
Sure we can step in and enforce our vision on others since we essentially have the biggest stick, but it would never occur to me to put Russia on this list.
I have significantly more problems with Saudi Arabia and China than I do with Russia. Putin may want to rebuild the USSR, communism and all, but he hasn’t achieved that yet. Meanwhile, SA and China have enslaved portions of their populace, or use foreign nationals as chattel slaves. Why is there even a question of which is worse here?
Among the many sins of our deep-state neocons, they are leading us into a long-term blood-letting, just like WWI - the West will expend debt and blood in an act of masochism. Europe will be gravely damaged. The USA, even if untouched, will suffer inflation, massive debt, financial crisis and political strife. Russia will not be unscathed either
Meanwhile, China, Saudi, India - will sit back and collect the spoils after the West has again destroyed itself
Exactly.
The truth is rights belong to those that can defend them. If you don't think so just watch 30 FBI thugs invade a preacher's home and terrorize his children. He has several Constitutional rights that would prevent that yet they did it to him.
The Constitution today is no more effective for defense of your rights than is a restraining order to prevent an abusive husband from killing his wife.
