04 March 2022 at 01:20. Let’s assume that Biden will decide to invade Afghanistan because Afghanistan creates risk for the security of USA, while Russia thinks that this foreign policy is wrong, so Russia started to hunt USA billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos by seizing their yachts and freezing their assets. Are individuals of a country should be punished for the foreign policy of their country? Or in other words, do we have the legitimacy to hunt individuals of a country if their leaders make a bad policy? Biden has started here something that is violated the human rights of individuals because individuals should not be punished for the policy of their leaders unless the individuals made any wrongdoing. When we would like to correct something, we should not do it by destroying our basic values, such as freedom of speech, freedom rights, human rights and more. I oppose Biden's policy because it contradicts the basic principles of democracy and freedom, yet perhaps I should not be surprised because the USA since Trump is not any more a full democracy. Today, most of the democratic countries are not a 'full democracy' but a 'half democracy', so each individual worldwide could be a victim of the 'geopolitical war' between superpowers. We have no prominent leadership worldwide that will protect our liberty.
