In law, people who are accused are allowed advocates (i.e. attorney's - people who argue the person's point of view).

Also, in the law, people should be given the presumption of innocence.

It seems that the West has a double standard when it comes to Russia and Syria. If anything happens in Syria, there is no presumption of innocence. Despite the fact that there are two sides to the conflict, The Syrian Govt. and Russia are automatically blamed before even any investigation. Reports from the opposing side are automatically swallowed, lock stock and barrel.

When anyone tries to argue Russia's point of view, they are labeled a 'Russian troll/bot' (in fact I'll probably get called that for this post). I think the West's behavior, which is nowhere near the legal standard they profess to use within their own countries, is pushing the world toward war, not away from it.

Scientifically, it is really very simple:- if you have a Y-chromosome, you are male. If you do NOT have a Y-chromosome, you are female.

Anyone who doubts their assigned gender can have a chromosome assessment done.

For example, I have been called these things many times but I'm nowhere near Russia, I live in as top US ally nation, and as far as I'm aware, have no Russian blood
