All he would have to do is call the mall a "legitimate military target" and our MSM would bend over backwards to give "both sides" of the issue.

In days of old, I remember when such tactics were called "terrorism."

We can't give Putin as good as he's giving, as he can point to the fact that he hasn't done anything to us.

What we CAN do is give the Ukrainians sophisticated targeting software, and the accurate rockets the Ukrainians can use to take out lots of positions of the hostile army invading its territory.
