That is another discussion; this is looking more like a war with Russia where the outcome the west is pursuing is the end of Russia as it is known today. Probably not going to be over that quickly.
Anyway. An NDA is silly and unnecessary when you have far more powerful laws governing state secrets, treason etc. than anything under civil law.
- simonh 5y agoI agree with the other comments that this NDA serves a very useful purpose, by detailing all the non obvious forms of information that could be a risk, impressing on people the seriousness of keeping that information confidential, and ensuring they have no excuse to claim they were not fully informed. It also provides a route to prosecute someone who might be caught sharing information they shouldn’t maliciously, but where treason etc could not be proved.
- hnaccount_rng 5y agoI think you overestimate the amount of due process that will be applied in this kind of situation...
- simonh 5y agoUkraine is a functioning democratic state with a government and an operating judicial system.
- jollybean 5y agoAbsolutely the opposite, it's even more necessary as a signal so that people recognize the gravity of the situation and are held accountable otherwise. It'd be probably a criminal matter not a civil one. It also gives them legal cover if they need to charge someone with something. AKA just today they announced a 'mole' high up in the civil service.
