Petition to Designate Russia as "State Sponsor of Terrorism"-Vote

[JayH]

WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO:
Designate Russia as "State Sponsor of Terrorism"
In its unannounced war against Ukraine, Russia relies on covert operations which fall squarely within the definition of "international terrorism" under 18 U.S.C. § 2331. Specifically, armed operatives of Russia, acting under disguise, attempt to influence the policy of Ukrainian government by intimidation or coercion. They also try to affect the conduct of a government by assassinations and kidnapping, taking by force government buildings, police posts and military bases of Ukraine. This activity is being conducted on large scale and over prolonged time period, despite condemnation by the USA, G-7, NATO, EU and UN.

Accordingly, Russia must be officially designated as "State sponsor of terrorism", per http://www.state.gov/j/ct/list/c14151.htm

JayH, why don't you petition your own government instead of worrying about ours?

Denying a man freedom of speech? How very libertarian of you. Ron Paul must be smiling in hell.

You shouldn't mix booze with your mental health drugs.  In fact, you should stop the booze altogether.  You have enough problems.

[lordtiberius]

I am not impressed with either.  Unrepentant communists rarely do.

Jay, these WH petitions are like urinating in a cup, it will get warm for awhile but nothing else. 

[BC]

Yeah.. go right ahead and escalate until you're right back to '62

Why is Russia on the Security Council?

[BC]

Why is Russia on the Security Council?

It is a permanent member of the Security Council.

[lordtiberius]

They should be removed

[BC]

They should be removed

They can't... that's why it's called Permanent....  get used to it.

Why would Russia or the world care what the US classed another country as under local laws?

Surely this would be as meaningful as IMBRA is out of the US? ie, zero.

I guess it allows JayH and a few others some anti-Russian incoherent venting and frothing at the mouth though. 

[lordtiberius]

They can't... that's why it's called Permanent....  get used to it.

Nothing is permanent.  Even you know that.

Don't bother, I already told him, he just doesn't seem to get it .

[SANDRO43]

Nothing is permanent.  Even you know that.

The UN Charter is until they re-write it, but that of course would need the approval of the Security Council, and Russia is unlikely to vote itself out, therefore a non-sequitur. Get it now ?

The only way out would be to disband the UN and start afresh, another unlikely occurrence .

[lordtiberius]

In English, permanent and unlikely are two different words.  Crack open a dictionary some time.

No ? I didn't know that ! Thank you for enlightening me with your unchallengeable mastery of the language!

In my abject ignorance however, I fail to detect any relevance, albeit tangential, to what I posted in your profound reply . Kindly explain your point, if any, in simpler terms that even I could grasp - with only the marginal difficulty of the uneducated.

I thought you were a linguist, Sandro? An excellent one and in multiple languages at that!

Oh well, amazon.com can deliver that dictionary to you in 3 weeks or less...poor guy.

 

[SANDRO43]

No need, I already possess Merriam Webster's, the Concise Oxford, Roget's Thesaurus to mention just a few. In addition, the 'Net is always available - and Amazon here delivers in only a few days rather than weeks .

[GQBlues]

Thank goodness for that, Sandro!  I can now rest peacefully again knowing the world is in good abled hands.

Amazon 'a few days'! Two weeks top for us! 

[Manny]

Crack open a dictionary some time.

As GQ subtly suggested, anyone who has been here a while knows what a terminally dim statement that is to make to Sandro. Despite being Italian, he has probably forgot more English than you know.


Even I know that and I only drop by now and then.

[lordtiberius]

Only thing I remember about you is how Kentucky Dan made you drink a whole bowl of "shut the" whenever you talk politics.  Agreeing to gun control is about is fun and sensible as allowing you to manage a discussion site.  People vote with their feet.

Maybe because in 2012 they established their Milan HQ about 1Km from where I live ?
