Wrongthinking is Punishable

 Czechs Could Face 3 Years In Prison For Supporting Russia On Social Media [More]

Define "supporting." I think Russia is clearly in the wrong and support the people of Ukraine for taking up arms against them. I also think NATO and the U.S. share their portion of using the country like a pawn and stoking Putin's fears.

Get regimes thinking they're literally fighting for their lives and all kinds of things we take for granted suddenly don't just go away, but can be turned into snares. Right and wrong become secondary to the power to enforce vs. the power to resist.

Sounds like a pretty good reason for not surrendering your capability for deterring those with the former...
