Not being radical enough is exactly what put us in this situation. So yes, we should be more radical, and show them who they are working for.

- agumonkey 2y agoI beg to differ, there are other paths on the way IMO.
- polotics 2y agoPray tell what other paths do you think there are? Fold and let Europe be enslaved by a certain nuke-equipped Mafia? This is very clearly what we're looking at with this new attack here, and without consistent x10 responses the thugs will keep at it and gnaw more and more. The other paths is send all the diplomats back, neuter the sleepers, repay the attacks in kind.
- agumonkey 2y agoWell I assumed the sabotage was linked to climate change, not geopolitical issues nor a foreign attack.
- gat1 2y agoMost of the time, climate change activists support trains and therefore would probably not disrupt the network, especially in France.
- agumonkey 2y agoSomehow I thought it was a way to protest against mass tourism, in this case due to Olympic Games... So now I'm concerned, do we know who did it and why ?
- AnimalMuppet 2y agohttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41077894 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41077894 cites a source claiming Russian sabotage. And I recall hearing a month ago or more that Russia would likely try something, because they aren't allowed in the Olympics as Russia, because of the invasion of Ukraine. So they want to mar the Olympics out of saving face, or spite, or revenge, or whatever. (Sorry, I cannot cite a source...)
- yawboakye 2y agothe incredible damage that western media has done to their citizens is this outsized sense of superiority. russia isn’t la côte d’iviore. you can try a 10x response but i doubt you’ll be here to tell us how it went.
- polotics 2y agoInteresting statement. What is the nature of the superiority that you think you're seeing exactly? Witnessing a Russian youth kicking a downed man in the head was quite revelatory: indeed no one from Côte d'Ivoire would be that much of a savage beast.
- slowmovintarget 2y agoPragmatic treatment of the enemy, not radical handling of citizenry is the way. Radicalism in foreign policy leads straight to open war.
- mschuster91 2y agoSo what, we don't have to send ICBMs on their happy way to Moscow to turn the Kremlin into fine dust. We can just go and supply Ukraine with a shit ton of Abrams, Taurus or lift the usage restrictions that currently forbid Ukraine to strike targets deep in Moscow. All of that is certainly better than just accepting Putin's escalations.
- mistermann 2y ago> So what So you are prescribing dangerous policy on guessing.
- mschuster91 2y agoThere's no need to guess when Russian war drones crash on Romanian soil. This kind of sovereignty violations alone would be enough for anyone to start a war, our politicians however don't have the balls to do anything about it. And besides: that's the cost of doing "plausible deniability" missions like Russia has done for over a decade now - remember the first invasion of Ukraine in 2014 and "they're totally not Russian soldiers" or the time they shot down a passenger plane? Fuck around, find out, it's time to have some good old-fashioned revenge for all the bullshit Russia has pulled and gotten away with until now.

Does that guarantee this is safe to do? >> We can just go and supply Ukraine with a shit ton of Abrams, Taurus or lift the usage restrictions that currently forbid Ukraine to strike targets deep in Moscow.
