    I disagree wholeheartedly with the idea of collective punishment.

    It’s very easy to turn collective punishment into discrimination and genocide. This solves nothing and only creates more problems.

      When the people accept this kind of behavior (of Putler), then they can’t have it nice, either.

      I agree but this seems to be an attack on a military contractor, similar to if Russia attacked Lockheed martin. Sure Lockheed does civilian stuff but they actively help the military. I am not sure what the UN says about it, and it certainly isn’t the same as Israel collectively punishing Gaza.

      I suppose everything has nuance

      I’m sorry, are you saying that genocide (which is what Russia literally is doing in Ukraine)is bad? Because again, that is literally what Russia is doing in Ukraine.

      This is a target because it’s information can be (fuck that, IS) important and be used in the Russian invasion efforts. It’s a legit target

          Are you saying that just because Russia is doing a genocide, doing a genocide to Russia would be justified? Ever heard the saying “an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind”?

          They can put that phrase on Ukrainian tombstones. /s

          A data hack/destruction is not genocide.

      This has got to be the most peculiar downvoted comment I’ve seen on lemmy so far. A principled disagreement with collective punishment? Weird.

      Edit: what am I missing? Or have I stumbled into a part of lemmy that is totally fine with stuff Nazi Germany did, and present day Israel and Russia are doing?
