70 people admit they should be investigated for high treason
How is it treasonous to cut support for a foreign country, exactly?
The treason part is getting paid for their votes by Russia
Please don't parrot incorrect statements without bothering to read the rest of the thread from a position of arrogant ignorance. This claim has been repeated over and over yet not a single person has bothered to back it with any actual law. It's not in the constitution, if that's what you think.
It's in the Constitution of Ukraine

зміна Конституції України;зміна Конституції Автономної Республіки Крим;проведення виборів Президента України, а також виборів доВерховної Ради України, Верховної Ради Автономної Республіки Крим і органів місцевого самоврядування;
Huh, interesting. They can get tried when the USA gets annexed by Ukraine then.
I responded to the wrong comment, I thought this was the thread about elections in Ukraine, haha. I deleted it, but deletions don't propagate between servers quickly
So you believe that Ukraine is a puppet state of the US?
What a shit take
The guy before me used the word treason. How do you interpret that?
As serving Russian interests, what kind of connection do they have to the Russian state if they so brazenly vote for the wishes of Putin?
That is a new definition of treason for me, but okay call it what you want.
Is a cooperation on space travel also treason?
That's a false equivalence, this isn't exactly cooperation towards a mutually beneficial goal, this is just trying to reduce support for a country which by sheer coincidence is an enemy of Putin.
It follows rather directly. For it to be high treason to be against sending more military resources to Ukraine would mean that either the representatives are members of the Ukrainian government or, as was implied here, that Ukraine is a puppet state.
It's not high treason against the USA to be against the USA sending military resources to another country. You can only commit high treason against your own country.
You're willfully dancing around the actual point OP is making. You can't be a grown adult and think this concretely without doing so in bad faith.
The point is that opposing this is directly showing support for Russia...

Which guess what: isn't high treason. If you'll notice, I havent offered my opinion here or participated elsewhere in the thread.
I was simply pointing out that using the term "high treason" here is rather silly and nonfactual.
So you aren't making any argument at all, and are just saying "everyone look at my bold linguistic castle. It is very cromulent."
What a psychotic statement.
Wow. Where the hell did you get that idea?
You say that US citizens (the republican politicians) who do not support Ukraine should be trialed for treason. This implies that Ukraine is a part of the US, doesn't it?
Womp womp go fuck yourself.
your name is pacifist but you support sending weapons of death and destruction into a conflict where they will be used to kill people? they're sending fucking clusterbombs dude what is it going to take to convince you people this is not a good thing?
Hey, Ukrainian here. Try to convince me that it's a bad thing. Russians shelling Ukrainian cities with cluster munitions is okay, but Ukraine fighting back is bad? Russia brought all the deaths and destruction, not Ukraine, or "the west".
Enjoy your clusterbombs
At least they have ~3% fail rate and will be used against military targets vs russian 30-40% fail rate and used in the cities
