Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

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.

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.

Can private citizens attack Russia without triggering an all-out NATO-Russia war?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

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.

I'm sure this Señor Nato Official will find a solution
