      I mean at this point the U.S. set some precedent that it’s okay to just kidnap heads of state, so long as you can claim self-defence. Somehow, with his threats of nukes and actual invasions into Europe I feel like that self-defence claim would be warranted in our case. Moreso than the fucking U.S. at least.

        Doesn’t the Hague have a standing warrant for Putin’s arrest? Same with Netanyahu, who they let fly through European airspace unmolested.

        If you don’t enforce your laws then you have no laws.
