I don’t support that. Whomever did that and set that up should be punished.

But that applies to Russia too. It’s a two way street.



so this is interesting discussion imo

so lets say the US was invaded...by China, just roll with me here


- daughter of one of the architects of the invasion is on TV calling for the extermination of Americans....is she not legit target?

- are architects and consultants and military advisors and political leaders not legit targets?

yes we do not off leaders with the CIA anymore during peace time, but during an invasion and full on war for the survival of the United States I would declare any and all targets in the home country legit, including citizens up to and including any and all political leaders


imo if china invaded us tomorrow, Xi becomes legit target immediatelly.

So my question is why is it different for Ukraine? is Ukraine not allowed to hit back at Russia in Russia?

what if they could take out Putin and all of the ministry of defense...are they not legit targets?

just trying to understand how someone that is a propgandist and is calling for genocide on national TV is not a legit target during a time of declared war and in a time where ukraine was invaded.

All great points and agreed.

When Stephen Kotkin was asked to summarize his two volume (still waiting on the third volume) biography on Stalin- after pouring over thousands of pages of previously classified personal notes from Stalin and his closest allies in the Kremlin - his response was, "Stalin was a true believer." Behind closed doors Stalin was a true believer in communism. I.e., the idea of communism was evil.

Same thing applies here. The ideologies and worldviews are the problem.
