Even continue playing patty cake with putin KNOWING he has paid bounties to militants to KILL AMERICAN TROOPS.
No difference.
Whether you sanction harming American citizens in their own country when they are simply asserting a Constitutional Right or sanction killing American troops in foreign lands fighting against "the enemy" it is the same thing.
Standing by sitting by lying down by and knowing but pretending you don't? The purpose of that is surely evil. How could it possibly be a good? Some fall for anything believe anything buy anything the snakeoil salesman sells. Some don't.
