Senator John McCain former navy pilot was on TV today talking about Putin. He said Putin order the bombing of Aleppo where innocent civilians were killed and he is guilty of war crimes. There are many crimes that Putin is guilty of but we must not throw rocks in our glass house. Beginning on December 18, 1972 American B-52s and fighter-bombers dropped over 20,000 tons of bombs on the cities of Hanoi and Haiphong. Did the North Vietnamese think that this was a war crime? Seeing different situations in different ways is not all that unusual. Here is a recent example. These are descriptions of two different countries.

All voices of dissent—journalists, academics and artists—face harassment, trumped up criminal allegations and accusations of being “undesirables” under _________ foreign-agent law, which stipulates that all media (including Internet sites) register as foreign agents if they receive any non-________ support. This effectively opens all independent media up to expulsion. Any actions “violating_________ territorial integrity,” such as peaceful protests or social media posts challenging the annexation, are subject to criminal prosecution. _______legal system limits civil and political rights, such as the freedoms of assembly, religion, and expression. Citizen opposition is seen as connected to a broader conspiracy against ______authority. Therefore, actions taken to compel political conformity—including torture, detention, and imprisonment—are justified based on a security rationale. In 2003, ______ charged and arrested seventy-five pro-human rights dissidents as part of a larger crackdown on civil society. The first is Russia and the second is Cuba.
