- slim 5y agothat's what I suspected. You're American I guess ? In this part of the world this subject is taboo (and rightly so)
- lazide 5y agoMy Russian neighbors bring it up every time the topic comes up.
- kwhitefoot 5y agoWell, you guessed wrong. We are both English although we live outside the UK, one in Norway and the other in France. I see you are from Tunisia. Did you mean that it is taboo in Tunisia, North Africa, the Mediterranean fringe, or somewhere bigger? I agree that assassination as an instrument of war is certainly not to be considered. But perhaps a Brutus style assassination would have different consequences than one committed by an external actor.
- Yoric 5y agoTime to remind that friend what happened after Brutus. Or Lorenzino/Lorenzaccio, for that matter.
