Democracies and free societies tend not to do that sort of siting.

Big words. But I am still not clear on what you mean by "free". I have asked
you before, but yoy refuse to answer:

No, the 'free' world...


This is a joke coming from you, in the last weeks you have shown me that you

disassembled too, their citizens freed, and the oil pumped out and sold to
pay war reparations.
