However, there is objective evil. ISIS is objective evil, for example. Russia or the USA are in the gray zone, where some of they actions are evil, some others are simply stupid, and some other have sense. So, I understand your point, everything is complex, but we should avoid losing our moral compass. Some evil is really evil.

- seppin 10y agospecifically targeting and killing innocents to accomplish your political goals. ISIS, Russia, Assad, AQ or any other terrorist group, etc.
