Also, if you use Russian salad dressing, you're not a True American.

I'm mocking your hysteria that professional tennis players are somehow contributing to the war.

DO you support US players being banned due to the War on Terror and the GITMO detainees we tortured in overseas Black Sites?

It's about isolating the aggressors. The pain needs to be felt all the way down to their national pride (athletes) and consumers so that their people are more motivated to apply pressure to end the invasion.

And your suggestions are ludicrous compared to Russia's actions in and plans for Ukraine. Russia is shipping Ukrainian citizens against their will to camps in Russia...hostages, leverage, serious human rights violations.

So maybe this is 2 things you really arent grasping well? I'm surprised it had to be explained.

I'm surprised you defended/ignored US torture.
