Absolutely. And one of the best way to do that is to make it so that no one would feel safe violating the rights of others, even under the color of law.

RE: Iran achieves near weapons-grade uranium, ostensibly by accident
I think this has slowed Iran down. Question is, why fixate on nuclear weapons? If they are to be used as terror weapons - well, a "dirty" bomb deployed at a busy subway station in any major city

RE: On the occasion of the upcoming anniversary
The Wagner Group is just a large gang. They may start something but I don't think they can take power using exclusively brute force.

I'd say it is predictable, They are doing everything they are capable of daily. It is just that their capabilities are rather limited (thankfully).

Oh, yeah. And now data is emerging that the planning for it started at least as early as 2003.
