Laws are meaningless if there is no force to back them up. The rule of law means that the force structures are set up to ensure that the laws apply to everyone, not just those who lack the strength to write their own laws.

"Putin attacked Ukraine, not Russians" fails to grapple with why millions of ordinary Russians were willing to follow orders in a devastating war against Ukraine.

This stuff open up questions over how far Russia as a society will come to terms with the past after Putin is gone.

Taking on a culture of corruption and murder is likely to be very dangerous to his health. Firing a bunch of officers who have no inhibition to murder seems like a very dangerous gamble.

Yes, of course, it is "impersonators" who are committing the crimes. There is absolutely no way that ICE being unable to recruit honest people to do Miller's dirty work lowered their recruitment standards to let criminals into their ranks.

Vance has adopted the Russian definition of "Nazi" as being someone you disagree with rather than the generally held view in the west that a Nazi is someone who believes in the ideology promoted by Hitler.

And by "legal justification" they mean a fabrication that the MAGA base will believe as justifying a forever war in Venezuela.

I'm not sure that a willingness to commit war crimes ever disappeared. What has really changed is the illusion that western nations, and in particular the US, will actively seek to punish war criminals. But that was always an illusion as the US was more than willing to look the other way or coverup.

Next will come quota's for military to buy Trump branded products at those stores.

Now that MTG doesn't have time to swim in the sewer that is the internet, she is starting to see the real challenges of governing and the real, rather than fictitious, problems that here constituents are facing.

What's more surprising is that they didn't use a taser on him for resisting arrest.

Well, don't overestimate the intelligence of youth. Half of them won't be able to remember it for final exams and most of the rest will forget it before the next year starts.

Yes, but at the same time oil refineries have been around for over a hundred and fifty years. Refining oil isn't a new technology.

But that is not communism (which is Mamdani). Instead it is a mob boss looking for a piece of the action.

China is thrilled to hear this.

This is why the Russian "opposition" is despised by Ukrainians and Ukrainian supporters: they accept no responsibility for the war. The war that is waged with the money and production of the people supposedly has nothing to do with those people.

The guy is 75 years old with a drinking problem and a pack a day smoking habit. Him missing a Security Council meeting does not necessarily mean that he has lost influence.

To be fair, if MAGA "christians" read the Bible, the words attributed to Christ would infuriate them and they would claim that the Bible was "woke propaganda" and "fake".

Leaving Americans with the choice between feckless and corrupt.

The story should then be: "SCOTUS okay with Trump lawyers lying to them". If courts, or regulators, don't insist on the lawyers appearing before them upholding the highest standards of honesty, this is what they can expect, lawyers giving them false information on which to base their decisions.

There is a new world order now. The bail out will only be for those who are loyal to Donnie.

I'm shocked to learn that a big tech corporation is knowingly engaging in immoral, if not illegal, activity to enhance their profit margin!

Something along the lines of the guy in the Pentagon who was supposed to dispatch the oiler with more jetfuel and bombs for the Bush, got relieved of duty for being too "woke".

The hard left doesn't see the difference between a centrist and a hard right politician. They feel like they've lost either way.

👀 Istrebin: A satellite image of the port of Tuapse shows significantly more oil slicks than in previous days, indicating significant damage to the infrastructure.

There are also no oil tankers, and all the oil berths are completely empty. A total of 8 berths.

Whistling past the graveyard.

Ushering in a golden era of peace in the world. Soon Republicans will be proposing to call Donnie "The Prince of Peace".

Accountability, like karma, is a bitch.

Of course, he has nothing to do with the shutdown, its just those bad repbulicans in congress who are to blame.

Apparently Russian intellectuals permeating Telegram never learned of the Serbian proverb "We may be brothers, but our purses are not sisters". Maybe they'll learn it once the Russian-owned oil industry here gets nationalized when our economic class decides to.
