    So, it's alright for the US to take action when threatened, but Putin isn't allowed to when similar threats are made against Russia? Hell, we almost had a nuclear exchange in 1962. Thankfully, cooler heads prevailed - because they talked. That's my freaking point! The US/NATO made no effort to maintain or restore peace.

    Again, I'll point out, you're completely ignoring what happened between the US/NATO, Russia and Ukraine prior to the invasion. The history of this war didn't start with the invasion. You're taking an over-simplistic view of the situation.

    By pointing out facts that run counter to US propaganda doesn't mean I, nor anyone else, is siding with Putin. That's such an incredibly childish response.

    Are you 100% sure Putin bombed civilian hospitals and schools without any provocation? Are you 100% sure that Zelenskyy wasn't possibly using those same hospitals and schools for military purposes?


    You libs are all the same. You run as soon as someone says something that counters the propaganda you've been fed.

    Yeah, you should avoid doing that in the future. And certainly don't quote his craziness.

    The counter to his BS talking point, is that the Ukrainian constitution prohibits elections while martial law is enacted, so to hold the election would require a constitutional amendment or face a constitutional crisis. Alternatively, and this would be much better, Russia could go the fuck home and the need for martial law ends.

    Oh good God, another "law expert" from Missouri....

    You or 94 still haven't answered the questions as to why we provoked the war and stopped the peace process.

    Who's slinging bullshit now?

    Yeah the troll really needs to be left alone. He needs to feed… I’m sure if no one responds to his complete nonsense he will get bored one day and finally disappear like 99 percent of this board wants.

    Hilarious the non lawyer just like strange is trying to lawyer. It’s hysterical

    Well…:)

    How did Zelenskyy become President? What happened after? And why do you think then Putin decided to invade last year?

    Not our fight.

    The vote involving UNC was 6-3 (with Sotomayor, Kagan and Jackson dissenting) and Harvard was 6-2 (Sotomayor and Kagan dismissed; Jackson recused herself due to her ties with Harvard).

    Yep. It was a foregone conclusion.
