That’s one of those sayings that doesn’t really work for me. What really are you saying?
If I slap you in the face, I expect you to be outraged and vice versa. So what? I might have earned a slap in the face, and perhaps you did not.
Cuba was a Soviet client state, and their military was 90 miles south of us. If Ukraine joins NATO why is that something the US should feel guilty about? If you ask me there were better ideas than recruiting former Warsaw Pact countries, but the reality is the Soviets caused their own demise. They should look in the mirror for who to blame.
Sorry to rant, but Im no fan of false equivalency.
Im not mad at the ChiComs for buying off Brit pilots. That’s the sort of thing their government is supposed to do. Im mad at the pilots, and I think there should be repercussions and steps to prevent it in the future. And, btw, I don’t think threatening or punishing friends and families or using risky, radioactive assassination methods should be on the table.
