    Enemy combatant? I’m running out of words here?

      The Ukrainians can certainly call him that.

      Notable examples of Non State Actors are: Blackwater(American security company) Wagner (Russian).

      Weird “enemy” who’s actively supporting 99% of one’s war efforts.

      By that rule of thumb, would the US be an “enemy” for being reluctant to supply latest gen weaponry to Ukraine?

        Are you compelled by neurodiversity to be pedantic? Or do you just enjoy it?

          How is the difference between “supporting in almost everything” vs. “attacking”, a pedantic one?

            Hold on. I’m not criticizing. I’m just curious. I’ve done it myself. I’m just curious about what leads us to be this way. Is it the need for details and facts, or does it concern communication in social media spaces?

              Hm? If you mean why do we participate in discussions, personally my main goal is to learn (unless I get triggered by some stupidity… but I’m trying not to). Looking for details is an effective way to find differences between points of view, which means reviewing one’s own, and comparing them to someone else’s. Sometimes I can learn about myself, sometimes about someone else, sometimes about an actual fact. Either is fine by me. [disassembly reveals useful pathways…]

              There are other uses for social media, other ways of communication. I’m not a fan of witch hunting though, or mob mentality, so that leaves either education, emotional support, or just goofing off.

              This post in particular, I think only works for discussions or witch hunting, and I refuse to take part in the latter, so… 🤷
