Moscow has ramped up unconventional attacks against the West since it invaded Ukraine in 2022.
Since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Russia has ramped up its campaign of so-called hybrid attacks — such as arson, cyber and information campaigns, or sabotage — throughout Europe.
Recent examples include the alleged cutting of energy and communications cables in the Baltic Sea, which German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius described as “sabotage.” In that case, as in many other examples of hybrid attacks, it is difficult for governments to quickly and definitively attribute the attacks to Moscow.
I’m sure this Señor Nato Official will find a solution
We ought to start fighting back in earnest. We could fuck their entire bullshit society if we actually tried.
At the very least, we should reciprocate their election interference by supporting Russian activists and people showing the government’s corruption.
The West has been doing that for the last century since the revolution showed rich people were still vulnerable.
The revolution itself was interference to get Russia to collapse in WWI, Lenin was an Imperial German plant.
Who is ‘we’ in this sentence?
The countries west of Kerch.
Can private citizens attack Russia without triggering an all-out NATO-Russia war?
Yes, unless Russia considers it an act of war and retaliates by attacking NATO states.
Could a person be extradited to Russia for a crime?
Only if it is also a crime in the extraditing state and if that state has no reason to believe that the punishment would be cruel and unusual.
And if there is an extradition agreement still in effect.
So practically no they can’t. They can still be punished by the potentially extraditing country though.
NATO’s right.
Killing massive numbers of people is only acceptable when you do it the way we do: bombing several countries at once, over and over, year after year.
Any other method of warfare is just uncivilized. Thus sayeth the good guys.
Do they even pay you, or do you just like the taste?
Sweet rebuttal.
What did I say that was actually incorrect?
False equivalence.
Oh, man.
If only that were so, but you know it’s not, and the criticism offends your sensibilities. It would offend me too if I were someone who supports unmitigated US warmongering.
False.
Whataboutism isn’t a foundation for your strawmen.
The sins of the US don’t make Russian crimes equivalent in scale, scope, intent or effect.
Don’t be a useful idiot.
The sins of the US don’t make Russian crimes equivalent in scale, scope, intent or effect.
Exactly my point.
They won’t be on our level until they’re bombing several more countries at exactly the same time.
Which we consider to be civilized, as evidenced by the fact that the people doing it keep getting elected president, and people like yourself are quick to clutch your pearls when someone reminds you about the incredible extent of US warmongering, and how hypocritical it makes us when we pretend to be the good guys in any war.
I’ve forgotten nothing. More straw being thrown about in your mental thrashing.
Russia is the one funding global disinformation campaigns to divide and conquer democracies to remove opposition to its own narratives for imperialist dominance.
Choosing the greater evil isn’t virtuous, it’s stupid.
The reason why America and Europe are falling to fascism is because of a decades long campaign run by Russia funding religious groups, bigots, and political interest groups to sew division and chaos.
You implied that only NATO bombs countries, which is incorrect. You implied NATO members think war for the fun of it is good, which by no means is a common opinion. And you implied that because NATO countries bomb people, it’s okay for Russia to also kill people. Those are some things to start with.
