      So we’ve established that there are some people you’d be happy to see gunned down, we’re now just quibbling over who qualifies.

        I wasn’t being serious. Someone like Putin should be in jail.

        I don’t support the death penalty.

          I applaud your moral high ground stance, but it’s worth saying there’s no court that can punish a man like that. They are above the law.

          What’s your idealist’s heart say about what to do about people like that when the system that’s supposed to protect us from them is completely and utterly broken?

      Tomato / toh-mah-toe.

      They are both bad people who got to where they’re at by exploiting people in one way or the other.

      Aside of their nationality, how would you consider them different?
