I wonder if there's a word for killing or harming people who are bystanders to try to change the behavior of some other person or some group.

- anovikov 2y agoWell, if the maps of the minefields are public, why would any ship with the crew in their sane mind, sail towards it?
- Tarq0n 2y agoDo you understand that by their very nature, underwater cables have to span the width of a body of water? What are you going to do, draw a line of mines from Denmark to Sweden?
- anovikov 2y agoMake passageways or even deactivate mines using signal from the same cable it is safeguarding. Ship needs to pass, captain sends an SMS from a sat and the mine is deactivated for half an hour. If ship is suspicious, a destroyer escorts at at gunpoint - cable signal lost, torpedo goes off automatically.

- 542354234235 2y agoWhy would anyone in their right mind run their ship into a bridge, or run it aground navigating a canal? Mistakes, misjudgments, or just confusion happen and killing innocent people because some equipment might be damaged by a hostile actor seems closer to a war crime than a reasonable policy.
