Any criticism the US government has made of Russia's invasion has just been rendered moot. Something so obviously hypocritical is just a joke now.

Russia could go and snatch Zelensky. China could snatch Lai. These things would be bad, but, hey, that's the way things are done now.

The person who made the decision is Donald Trump -- illegally, at that.

Of course Trump set a shitty precedent. But I'm pretty sure Russia has launched many operations aimed at Z's like or freedom.

So all of the rest of it was bullshit..and now...this is the thing?

Russia would love to snatch zelensky, they've tried to assassinate him multiple times. They just cant pull it off like the mad king in the states. Why do you think they've been begging donald for help? They knew he was into this sort of shit.

You are aware that Trump’s been about as Pro-Putin as he could get away with, right?

Back to the good old fashioned-style war, where you just go to steal the oil.

Bombing Caracas? Man, we got minor plot points from Beau is Afraid IRL before we got GTA6.

He's been sort of hot and cold toward Russia. 

But Trump is not the only person in the US government. Plenty of politicians are vehemently opposed to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. For example Senator Lindsey Graham favors escalation of hostilities. Victoria Numan, who played a role in the 2014 putsch in Kiev, recently crawled out from under her rock to say that Ukraine should fight another two years. 

We can wait and see what they say, but I have a feeling that such people are going to bend over backwards to say that when we do it it's OK.

We've also got some alignments that we might not expect. So for instance Macron, liberal defender of freedom on Europe, has praised the Venezuela expedition. While Marine le Pen, far right anti-immigrant danger to humanity, condemns it as illegal.

I also condemn it as illegal, but I'm not particularly happy to have le Pen as my ally.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
