You're misrepresenting my original point. My initial comment was to highlight the act of capturing someone off the street, not to equate that with arrests over op-eds or argue legal parity between Ukraine and the US.

I never said "the US is being invaded by a foreign government". I referenced information publicly shared by the White House. That’s a valid source, regardless of who signed the executive order. We don’t get to dismiss official government communication just because we dislike the administration.

Also, I was replying directly to _your_ points, not shifting the topic. You brought up the US legal system, war declarations, and due process. I simply responded to each.

Legally speaking, Ukraine has not declared war on Russia, so saying "Ukraine is not at war" is technically correct.

And finally, I never claimed executive orders can override constitutional rights - that’s a straw man. Let’s focus on what was actually said rather than rewriting it to make it easier to attack.
