> Promising to return the children you stole "when it's safe" sounds a lot like a threat to never return them

And they talk as if the reason Ukraine isn't safe has nothing to do with them.

But not by the West. Azerbaijan is fighting for their right to exterminate Armenians, and that's a fight the West won't pick. If anything, and under normal conditions, we'd be secretly helping Russia if somehow Russia couldn't manage to get it done by itself (which, before the Ukrainian war, never happened).

You are flat out misinforming people here. Almost nobody at any point in the left spectrum in Spain supports Russia. A few trolls on Twitter aren't representative of the "extreme left". Twitter is not real life. At most you can say that some elder far-left people don't support NATO and don't want to take sides in this war. But that doesn't mean they support Russia or Putin in any way.

They wouldn't be the first country without territory.

What if you are blind?

They are not protesting police brutality. They want freedom. Freedom to not have the state tell you exactly how much hair you are allowed to show.

Indeed. Just a day or two ago there was a story of a 19-yo male chef who had been murdered by the Iranian guard, too. Sadly, they don't discriminate in their violence and bloodlust. Anyone protesting is fair game.

tbh that's not relevant. A baton is non-lethal because you can use it to control someone without killing them. If you kill someone with it, either you did it on purpose or you were negligent.

This is like saying handcuffs are lethal because you can strangle someone with them. Yes, you can, but it's not how they should be used.

Nah, if they had decency, they'd join the protests. But then again, if they had decency, they wouldn't have made it this far.

How many more kids does the Ayatollah have to murder for us to realize that his religious beliefs are right?
