Everyone in America from the lowly incel shooter to the commander in chief is obsessed with killing kids in schools

The expert in question:

Did the writers of this article just basically say they believe terrorism works?
Terrorism is a valid war tactic when we do it.
stalin shouldn't have stopped at berlin
Glossing over the murderous bloodlust, heads of state famously lose support when a clearly identified enemy starts terror campaigns killing kids. These fuckers are just lost in the sauce
I recently read an interview with the Serbain president, in which he said that he fears for world war III, because this conflict might feel "existential" to both sides very quickly. Reading this, I can only think that's a correct assesment.
Random terrorist attacks against soft civilian targets are famous for making people distance themselves from their government and side with the ones five the attacks.
They keep dreaming about "overthrowing Putin" through committing blatantly terrible, terroristic acts. Honestly it's really revealing... This has always been their modus operandi and yet again they're outright stating it. Their automatic answer to literally anything, anywhere, is funding terrorists and extremists. And they wonder why the entire world, and even increasingly their own citizens are tired of their shit..
Russia is too hesitant and weak on the west. I get they are afraid of escalation but I wish these Russian liberals would get it through their skulls that the west is over for them, they aren't going to come to terms with them that work for Russia, they're not going to get sanctions relief and in fact taking too long to recognize the threat landed them in this long boondoggle of a war in the first place.
The more innocent people that Ukrainian terrorists kill, the more determined Russian society becomes that they are facing an existential threat that cannot be negotiated with and must be eradicated once and for all. This isn't rocket science, it's not hard to figure out.
And just in time for the peace demand by Russia. And just after Ukraine got 10 more years of supplies.
Seems like someone envisions a war which Russia has to end with the complete occupation of Ukraine. Which would take long enough to get the europeans to throw troops in there, too.
And just after Ukraine got 10 more years of supplies.
I'm very cynical about these sorts of "deals". I think in reality they are just meant to create short term morale boosts for Ukraine to keep stringing them along with yet more false hopes. I don't think the US/NATO have either the capability or the intention of keeping any such promises.
It's just like when they dangle the NATO membership carrot in front of them despite knowing full well it's never going to happen, just so they can drag the war on a little longer.
By that logic, the Cuban government could start shelling Miami or Key West.
