Surely if your the head, you are ultimately responsible for the work of your employees, particularly high-profile cases?

Desiderata posted:Like I said, you can decide when a story starts and ends and use that to tell any story you want in terms of heroes villains and moral consequence. You can feel righteous about it if that comforts you. It's not going to help you understand what is happening and why, other than how those stories can be used to move people. That is why history is terrible consequence after terrible consequence. I think I compared this to Iran else where. You can condemn Iran for trying to develop Nuclear weapons, but from their perspective it's 100% a rational action. Iraq gave up WMDs- they get invaded. Libya gives up it's WMD programme and gets invaded. Syria- kept it's chemical weapons and survived. Iran does a deal with US, and the US immediately tears it up and starts assassinating top generals and scientists. North Korea gets nukes, they get a face to face negotiations with the US President. In Russia's case no nation has ever willingly allowed itself to be surrounded by a economic or military pact expressly targeting itself or sat by and allowed it's own sphere to be shrunk. (See the US in central or South America for example) The US/Nato expressly agreed they wouldn't expand into former Warsaw/Soviet bloc countries. They did. In this context Russia's actions make sense, it doesn't make those actions good, right or just. But their not completely insane or stupid from a self preservation point of view.

The Labour Party decided the costs of fixing teeth & glasses was too much, so cut it. Of course once the precedent was set tories took full advantage.

"Just come to the negotiating table stop being unreasonable.... no of course those old agreements don't count, lol" I wonder why no one trusts the west.

The full annexation route seems like a guaranteed way to spend 10+ years fighting a civil war on your door step.
