It's pretty clear that it is Putin being petty. Ukraine had a right to join NATO and Putin made up some **** about their president being a NAZI. Putin has shown zero concerns for the welfare of the Ukrainian people, targeting schools and hospitals.Neo » 08 Jun 2022, 1:28 pm » wrote: ↑ It's not about pride.

Swalwell says the government should first offer a buy-back for retroactively banned weapons and then forcibly confiscate them one by one if necessary. Swalwell declares that his ‘mandatory national ban’ of assault weapons is ‘bold and … it rightly treats gun violence as a life-or-death matter.’ A Twitter critic summarized Swalwell’s pitch: ‘We’re not taking anyone’s legal guns, we’re just changing the law so the guns are illegal and then we will take them.’
When a conservative activist suggested that gun grabbers wanted a war, Swalwell replied, ‘And it would be a short war, my friend. The government has nukes. Too many of them. But they’re legit.’ Swalwell did not specify how many bombs he would be willing to drop to end violence. His anti-gun zealotry made him an instant hero, persuading him to briefly run for the Democratic nomination for president.
Other Democratic candidates have also warned of the grave perils facing anyone who would resist a government-disarmament command. Former Vice President Joe Biden scoffed in September, ‘If you want to protect yourself against the federal government, you’re going to need at least an F-15’ fighter jet.

No evidence of any intentional targeting of civilians. If Russia wanted to indiscriminately flatten Kiev they certainly have the air power to do it.

No evidence they were deliberately targeted. You do understand that Russian Air power could flatten Kiev with conventional bombs, right? High altitude bombers well out of reach of their anti air defenses. Obviously flattening or taking Kiev isn't on their agenda.

Men tend to think their arguments through - women tend to post from feelings.
You do NOT seem to have thought your gun argument through.
What does your job at the cafeteria have to do with your belief system and your inability to make an argument that is BASED ON FACTS INSTEAD WISHFUL THINKING AND EMOTION...?
