    They're also on Twitter vicariously living their insurgent fantasies through the Ukrainian conflict, posting shit like "throwing Molotov cocktails at tanks is very effective ;)". These people don't know that this isn't like hong kong and that they're not confronting a police force.

    This is an international conflict with rules of engagement and while I'm no expert, I'm pretty sure civilians grabbing guns are deemed enemy combatants. Honestly I don't even know which posts are literally the state department trying to make it a huge international incident out of this. @Sadie527181 from Canada just replied to me saying that not supporting insurgency means I'm qanon and @whitesouljaboy lets me know that I would be a coward in the protracted people's war.

      Without marking people who engage in attacks like this are seen as not under some laws of protection. Meaning the US did kill, torture (for decades), imprison those who do it and not seldom targeted their families with the same.
