That's not how you spell “imprison the C-suite of”. Last time I read the Constitution, giving aid and comfort to America's enemies was treason.

Yeah but America is not at war with Russia. Ukraine is. They might not be allies, and not on friendly terms whatsoever, but there's still a line to be crossed before considering them as actual enemies.

Yes, during wartime. The US is not at war with Russia.

Could've fooled me. I was under the impression we were sending weapons and trainers to one of our allies who are fighting them. Sounds like an enemy to me.

Because you're going by feelings and not actual definitions. Which is fine when speaking colloquially, but if you want to take country-level actions, you better have some law to base that on.
