We had a user posting blown up bodies before, reminder that this is probably an action that will get one suspended.

The quote is from Thucydides, but Classical education really has gone to shit.
All the more reason why you don't need to twist yourself into a pretzel trying to rationalize speech as violence or killing as moral. If your position is that Ukraine can and should do whatsoever safeguards its sovereignty, then I'm the last person to take issue. That's a calculation that they need to make. But the more important question for us is whether the widening of acceptable targets is in our interests. Is it?
ultimately this is a gaming forum and the moderators / admin on this website would probably not condone discussion or ethical debate as relating to terrorist activities. its probably safer to call it Guerrilla warfare, which is the expression I will use going forward in the topic. That to my mind is the better description of any retaliatory/protest/w/e you may call them events* occurring in Russia as related to the war in Ukraine.
*events - involving armed protest.

i dont see that ever making front page news in western society, indeed the story itself appears quite small and unaffecting. from a logical standpoint i would suggest that its only the tip of the iceberg. i.e. i think its normal for highly technical societies to have highly technical tools for propaganda, and i would imagine that the totality of such propaganda, has worked, successfully, for quite some time.
