Yes, the aggressor would be the one to call out, not the defender.
- breakfastduck 2y agoIt's a rather large leap imo to actually respect the terminology of 'Defence' in that regard, completely ignoring their obvious engagement with offensive action.
- vasco 2y agoThat'd be simple if you could identify "the beginning", but normally in conflicts what happens is both sides think they're right due to some pre-existing claim.

- explaininjs 2y agoYes, the unexpectedly effective brute force solution to the eternal bickering siblings problem: "I don't care who started it, I'm ending it!". Typically invoked immediately after the stronger party commits such a disproportionally large show of power as to attract your attention anew to their otherwise minor long-term petty dispute.
