The Russian-Ukrainian War Thread

[rsemmes]

"... wouldn't be aimed at an official". I strongly disagree with your concept of terrorism. (Hitting power stations is aimed.)

"Is killing serving members of the armed forces of a country which is fighting your country terrorism?" Serving members, active members, members...

No one denies that is a fair target, like a power station.


I find the use of "audacious" disgusting. It seems that some people is quite happy with that use in those circumstances.

I was talking about the killing.

On the other hand, someone (Russia, for example) could argue that he is procuring arms for Ukraine, so he is actively involve in the war; I don't think Kirilov was actually fighting. Zaluzhny was certainly involved in the war, is there any statute of limitations?
Zaluzhny is only an example, I find the "audacious" disgusting.

It's a uniformed Russian general killed in a time of war. He's a legitimate military target.

Kirilov was the commander of a branch of the Russian armed forces. Is killing serving members of the armed forces of a country which is invading your country terrorism?

The US killed Iraqi generals during the war in Iraq, and they weren't invading the US. They were still a legitimate target. It doesn't even matter who's at fault in the war, Ukraine hit a Russian commanding officer during a war with Russia. There's nothing particularly questionable about this.
