No no. If you read between the lines, they didn't explicitly say no. They only insinuated he hasn't met the criteria under international law yet... But they do acknowledge the assholery.
They only insinuated he hasn't met the criteria under international law yet
Hell, if you go COMPLETELY literal, they're not even necessarily saying THAT!
They COULD be saying that the Tates are legitimate targets for OTHER reasons (such as being in the enemy's army), just not for being assholes ๐
Weren't they there for military training? So after basic training they should be a legitimat target, no?
Honestly even before finishing training. He's wearing the military uniform, training, and handling a weapon.
The US defined any male about 16 in Iraq as a combatant/legitimate target and the world didn't bat an eye. Tate exceeds this
He's wearing the military uniform
Any uniform is incomplete without the flag or coat of arms.
The US defined any male about 16 in Iraq as a combatant/legitimate target and the world didn't bat an eye.
That was still illegal.
So wait he's training with the enemy, holding a weapon, and not wearing a proper uniform?
That would classify him as a spy and subject him to prompt execution if captured wouldn't it?
The US defined
If you're using that as a justification, you're doing it wrong. Give me a quick count of their recent war crimes...?
Ukraine displaying the moral high ground.

What if he was just standing near someone who was a legitimate target. You know like the training officer. Or a particularly offensive piece of foliage. Something like that.
That definitely looks like an invasive species of flora he's standing near...
Would be doing them a favor, really.
Can't we make just this one exception? It would be a net good for humanity!
Wait, since when does international law matter with regard to drone strikes? I could cite dozens of drone strikes by the Trump administration that clearly violated international law and they didn't even make a ripple in any court system anywhere?
Ukraine's support from other countries relies heavily on them having and maintaining the moral high ground.
Well Ukraine ain't the US
You know you fucked up as a country when even 2026 war-thorn Ukraine looks at you and goes "ugh no thanks..."
"Less blatantly unethical than the US" is not that high a bar, to be fair.
The Trump administration, the Biden administration, the Obama administration, the Bush administration.. You get the picture.
Ahh come on guys. Cant we just drone strike them a little bit.
Just one time, as a lil treat...

Being a child trafficker should be punishable by death
Nothing should be punishable by death. Death penalty is uncivilized and full of problems.
America would lose half the presidential administration.
Which is fine by me, BTW.
I was gonna say, you make it sound like a bad thing.
we see all your tags and we get it
Ooooh this is how you die from robot bees
We shouldn't post anything from this neonazi social network.

The real reason is: he is doing negative PR for the Russian aemy.
