Mostly I meant that the Russian know how to deal with cunning, murderous brutes, having previously manipulated and used them against the West.
The Russians are smart enough to not worry about whether or not these people, and those they claim to represent, like them; instead they just make sure these people develop an abject terror of them. That is an example I think we should follow.
I have seen collective punishment work remarkably well.
Also I refuse to listen to arguments from American leftist Democrats against it, they have to quit legal persecution of families and supporters of conservatives that exercise their Constitutional rights before I'll listen to anything they say.
