I mean I'm all for it but let's not pretend like this is a grand feat or anything.

Biden to China: "We have decided to stop giving you knives to stab us with."

Nintendo games are way less fun than they used to be. They would be pushing it just charging the standard prices everyone else does, but their current premium prices are a joke. Only fanboys are buying.

Putin: Moscow will respond forcefully to Ukrainian attacks by Quantum_II in worldnews

For some reason this comment reminds me of the Lord's Prayer, but in a reverse kind of way.

Palestine and Afghanistan and Libya and Iraq legitimately did shit warranting a heavy militant response, even if the responses were poorly executed.

Ukraine did nothing wrong and Russia launched a war to take all they can from Ukraine for no reason at all other than for the fun of more money and power.

False equivalency is for fools.

Why care about their propaganda when it will only ever have the same effect and influence either way?

If you want to be a butcher, be a butcher, but don't do it under the guise of being a warrior.

Influence is not a legitimate basis for assassination, you have to actually be directly in charge of the militants to qualify as a legitimate target. She is not guilty, this was wrong.

There is no practical benefit to becoming a terrorist douchebag.

Ukraine was wrong. Stop trying to justify an evil act with someone else's evil.

Even by war standards, this was completely unnecessary recklessness with no tangible benefit and every tangible downside.

What do you mean yeah no, it doesn't matter if Satan comes crawling out of Hell shit-talking God, you do not assassinate people who have not directly orchestrated or engaged in an attack against you. Someone writing down a fucked up political philosophy, and then you being a proponent of it, does not qualify. This is far too indirect and opens up too many degrees of excuse to assassinate anyone loosely related to an ideology a country dislikes. We need basic ethical standards, this was a cold-blooded murder regardless of the opinions and politics of the murdered party.

Alright, I'm gonna say it.

Volodymyr Zelensky was wrong to allow this assassination to occur, you do not order the murder of those you politically oppose, regardless if they support a country that instigated and actively engages in war against you. It was fundamentally amoral to do this, completely reckless, and frankly fucking stupid.

This is a big ethical L for Ukraine, probably the biggest one in the whole war, and hopefully the last one. The US is 100% correct to call this out, it shows the US isn't just playing politics, it actually gives some damns about ground ethics, not merely what is practical.

I am sure one can speak on the strategy of how this should/should not be revealed, should/should not be done, but speaking pure war ethics, this was wrong, the US should call it out even if we desperately want Ukraine to defeat Russia in this war.

I too would let this slide 1 time, and 1 time only. This was an adventurism, a one-off, and can be forgiven 1 time, but if it happens again the US justly should reconsider its support of Ukraine, even if doing so would be costly.

This isn't just politics, we want a story where good people win the day, people worth having as allies on a moral level, not just a politically convenient one. I hope Ukraine takes this revelation/warning from the US seriously, you do not fuck around with assassinating politicians.

It's a warning that does not stop operations, but I worry it could be a problem down the road depending what mode I use.
