That's all fine and dandy, but what has been the result of this on Russian aggression? Do you think said sanctions would give Russia pause before annexing more of Eastern Europe?

So far, it has given them reason to (most likely) meddle in our election.

I agree, although I feel like people already knew how big of a bunch of p*ssies they are out there, but it's still nice to be reminded sometimes. Free speech goes both ways, and while I'm not a fan of Milo (I think he's basically just a troll, really) he isn't directly inciting violence, which is just about the only time I'm OK with attempting to limit free speech.

Don't go. If you must protest that's fine, but do it peacefully and without destruction of property.

He's definitely a troll. I don't think I have ever seen anything longer than a 2 minute clip from him. He doesn't interest me whatsoever, but how can they be so scared of him? or so angry with him? It's absolutely pathetic.

He's basically just a shock jock as far as I can tell. I don't understand why a significant amount of people on the right have decided to mobilize around that clown, but whatever.

The left, I think, is beginning to hurt their message right now with the hyperbolic reactions to everything. Setting fires in the streets definitely hurts their message. I do think there is room for a legitimate beef right now, but I would argue it should be focused around keeping Trump from cutting into the first amendment rights and key civil liberties.

So they've accomplished nothing good for us...

Good lord be honest, you are already preparing your blind allegiance speech when your glorious leader removes the discussed sanctions.

You think Caf considers Trump his "glorious leader"? Have you followed this thread at all?

Hahaha that is hilarious. Feel free to make a substantive argument whenever you are ready.

Lest you forget, I gave mine in favor of noted sanctions and their continuance. I would be in favor of more strict, maybe toss in a few other industries or restrict Russia's ability to get any kind of capital at all.

Again, what good do they do us? They got Russia to hack our election and keep their grasp on Crimea? If they hurt our business even just a little bit, and all we get from them is a weaker Russian economy with increased aggression, what good are they? You don't have to have blind allegiance to Trump to see that sanctions against Russia aren't necessarily all they're made out to be.
