‘please remember to use common courtesy when posting and refrain from posting personal attacks’
You signed up to the above when you registered. Regardless if you disagree with a poster you simply can’t make up your own rules and start with personal insults.
Calling you an amoral invertebrate isn't a statement for the sake of insult; it is just a statement of fact, which you yourself readily admit to by your statements. You simply lack the ability to tell the difference between right and wrong. That you think you are being "impartial" by refusing to admit that it is wrong for Russians to be robbing banks just demonstrates the fact.
The reason my replies are more about you than about the original article is that your refusal to conform to even the most basic of human morality makes any further discussion of the issue moot until you come to your senses and recognize that there is no moral equivalence between an invader and the people being invaded.
