    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.”
