Also, most of the damage is done through maiming (hands/fingers especially) and not killing the victims. Not to minimize the physical and emotional pain of losing some fingers, but a senior commander in Hezbollah doesn’t need those to fill their role as a commander. Even their vision, that can be compromised and they can still be just as effective.

Hillary Clinton Suggests Posting Russian Propaganda Should Be A Crime

"I think it's important to indict the Russians, just as Muller indicted a lot of Russians who were engaged in direct election interference and boosting Trump back in 2016," Clinton said, referring to 2018 indictments against Russian individuals and companies accused of election tampering to boost support for Trump in the 2016 election.

"But I also think there are Americans who are engaged in this kind of propaganda. And whether they should be civilly or even in some cases criminally charged is something that would be a better deterrence, because the Russians are unlikely, except in a very few cases, to ever stand trial in the United States."

They really want to make saying “we should stop propping up Ukraine and pursue a peaceful end to the conflict” a crime, along with pretty much anything that challenges US hegemony, don’t they?

I am a bloomer, and I would like to think that I have very good, grounded reasons for my bloomerism. But I do worry that being a bloomer leaves me with blind spots in my analysis.

I think if Trotsky became head of the USSR, there probably would have been counter-revolution and full capitalist restoration one way or another within a decade or two.

I noticed a day or two after she was murdered, the media flipped from calling her an “American” to a “Turkish-Amercian”. The hyphenated descriptor allows you be assured she wasn’t a “real” American.
