We've had this discussion before but if America were to cut off china, it would hurt us worse and it will hurt them. That's why China is basically untouchable and can get away with anything

The war on drugs is a self-defeating idea anyway
Criminalized drugs
Cartels have the Monopoly on the criminalized drugs
Cartels get richer due to Monopoly on criminalized drugs
Cartels have more money to bring in more drugs
Also putting people in prison for harmless drugs like cannabis is just a waste of resources and taxpayer money

Harmless? Look what it has done to your brain!

I'm so tired of media obsessing over that woman.
She's going to Russia! And chooses to bring an illegal drug into their country!
She should serve her time!

But she has three qualities our Left Wing can't resist pandering to do to insure support by their base. Black, female, Homosexual.

Meanwhile three deserving Americans remain hostage in Russia. I think they're actually dead but our government won't tell us that because we'll demand action!

Ad hominem. What else you got?
This coming from the guy who thinks Elon musk is going to turn us all into cyborgs

I have e opposite opinion. I think right wing conservatives were rejoicing about her being locked up just because she's LGBT
Kind of comes across as boot licking in my opinion.
Nobody deserves 9 years over weed Vapes

Bottom line, we kept a true blue war hero who represents our own Nation in shackles and released someone too stupid to check her own luggage for drugs.

I said a million man army, wow your math is terrible. 1 million is 0.01% of world population. So no, I never said the plan was to turn "everyone" into cyborgs.

Also this is not an ad hominem attack. You use drugs. You are therefore biased. Why would Russia or China or any Islamic nation listen to you?

I know of NO ONE who rejoiced over her situation, those people are not in my circle of trusted sources.
Of course it is an innocuous amount of an innocuous substance and no one should suffer that penalty, and in the way the russians are famous for.
You again place a high value on your "opinion", as though it matters.
Our "opinions" are important, but they don't matter, as Created individuals we are to serve and follow the guidance of the Creator whose plan is always perfect.
best wishes

Well China is literally putting Christians in Muslims in concentration camps.
Islamic countries are making women walk around wearing trash bags in 130° weather.
If you find any of this morally acceptable then that says more about you than it does me
For the few states in America that have legalized cannabis, it brings in a lot of tax revenue for the state.
Putting people in jail for a plant is just a waste of taxpayer money and resources
That money could be better spent like feeding homeless people

We're all sharing our opinions here. That's the whole point of this whole discussion forum thingy

musk owns neuralink .

do you know what that is??

Seems completely irrelevant to this discussion. The discussion was about a 9 year prison sentence for drugs in Russia. Since Russia doesn't have a drug problem and the US does it seems absurd to think they would listen to you say that this penalty is excessive.

You then said that the US and the free world should "cut them off". So 15% of the world cuts off 80% of the world.

These two comments of yours are incredibly arrogant. You seem to completely miss that the rest of the world does not respect the US and does not listen to them. Perhaps 50 years ago they did, but that has changed.

You also seem to miss the fact that the world does not need the US. We don't produce anything they need. We need them, they don't need us.

True they appreciate the land, but not the Americans. They want the agriculture and perhaps will keep the farmers, but if they had to eliminate everything else it wouldn't bother them at all.

Do you respond to that? No you say they are genocidal maniacs who are tyrants. OK, and how does that change anything? Are genocidal tyrants going to listen to a pothead tell them about what their drug laws should be? No. Would genocidal tyrants decide not to wipe out 65% of America because it would be too horrible? No.

Who said anything about wiping out 65% of america? You're not making any sense

Russia has a torpedo called poseidon, it can create a 500 foot, maybe even 1,000 foot tsunami wave. You can't stop it, a submarine sitting off the coast fires it and by the time you realize it has been fired it explodes and sends this Tsunami toward our coastline of radioactive destructive wave. 65% of America lives within 5 miles of the coastline. In one coordinated attack you wipe out all our ports, our major cities, our naval bases, silicon valley, our TV and Hollywood studios, our banking, NYSE, and 65% of our population. Russia has been warning us repeatedly. Sun Tzu said when your enemy is warning you, listen to him.

Russia wants to be the new police force to protect OPEC and China wants to control Taiwan which manufactures the most important computer chips in the world. They both need one thing, to eliminate the US.
