    The argument they’re also making is that by allowing US citizens in to extract the resources there will be an implicit safety guarantee because then Putin wouldn’t dare attack locations US citizens might be located out of fear of the US actively participating in the war. Whether that claim holds water or not that’s at least the rational they’re pushing.

      How many US Citizens has Israel killed? I know its not apples to oranges but I’m not gonna hold my breath on that one considering how much admiration our dear leader has for Russia’s. All you need for a pass to kill our citizens is to be friendly with our politicians.
