Can't agree with this, but then I'm an old stoner and see absolutely nothing wrong with smoking good stuff, any more than I would judge harshly an aficionado of fine Kentucky whiskey;) Suggesting that someone is deluded is in no way a personal attack, most of us harbor delusions about some topics...I've always felt that I was a pretty attractive guy despite decades of evidence to the contrary. Nothing in my comments suggests that I am "attacking all Russians", but given the evidence of the brutal war crimes committed wholesale by individual Russian soldiers and larger military units there are real questions about the cultural values of Russians in general. The members of their military seem to have no problem attacking innocent civilians en masse with the heaviest of weapons...I doubt very much that U.S. forces would hammer cities and civilians to rubble without some degree of protest.

Ethical and moral judgement of this criminal war is indeed one sided. There is no excuse for the Russian murder of a single Ukrainian citizen, military or civilian. putin's publicly stated justifications are lies, they need to be treated as lies and NOT defended or justified from comfortable couches well outside of his murderous reach. There should be no confusion about his psychopathic capabilities, no doubt that he will kill, torture, imprison any person, destroy any nation that he sees as an impediment to his goals.
