On: Ukraine gives award to foreign vigilantes for hacks on Russia (2024)

[billy99k]

Seems typical: illegal actions against people you don't like? win an award. illegal actions against people you like? we need prison time and sanctions.

[jszymborski → billy99k]

I think it's a bit of bad faith to characterize "aggressor in an unprovoked, expansionist war against your country and who has killed or wounded 400,000 of your countrymen" as simply "people you don't like".

[avmich → jszymborski]

In wars it's important who started first. In Russia-Ukraine war this is quite clear.

[krunck → avmich]

Please, expand on your thesis.

[vardump → krunck]

To state the obvious: Russia started the war.

You may be surprised by the amount of people who dispute this... it's depraved

[popularrecluse → billy99k]

Yeah, that's war in a nutshell.

Illegal under which legal system? International law mostly allows countries to fight back against invasion.

[avmich → billy99k]

It's like tipping somebody on wanted list versus resisting masked government official, something like ICE. We absolutely need to level the playing field here.

Wait until you learn killing is legal during wartime... Absolutely revolting
