Tim can still laugh in frond of should know that real democracy is not doing whatever you want, it is not mean totally

It was a great debate that just reemphasized something, right extremists cause people to laugh, and the left wing lives in a parallel world of fantasy, full of perfect theories!

As a person who live in the neighborhood of Russian Federation I'm very grateful to US senate and EU for new sanction against RF. And not because I love US military industrial complex or US itself because I don't but the problem is that whatever American crimes are, RF regime is much worse; barbarian, wild, backward, christian fascist oligarchy with imperial ambition that bully their neighbors military and economically. And the chances of another WW would raise if world leaders acted after Georgia, Donbass. Crimea as nothing happend and make business as usual with RF like they did with Hitler and Stalin. You cannot sit and sing kumbaya with hope that inactivity will stop bullies as RF leadership like some people stupidly proposing. The sanctions aren't nice but necessary in this case.
