So let me ask again, and please use straight talk, are you a proponent of this violence?

An easy to answer question and it seems that you are advocating violence with only a concern that it is in the proper direction and "done competently."

You may wish to expand on your definition of how this violence can be done competently and in which direction this violence would be deemed proper.

What you are espousing sounds like a colonial mindset.

As it stands it appears you are okay with Brzezinski, in fact supportive, because he is competent at violence (other reasons as well?). That is a repugnant position that cannot be justified by anyone of a progressive persuasion. It is quite authoritarian.

It is certainly nothing I would wish to teach the children or the grandchildren.
