    You missed the key word there which was should be.

    Attacking a hospital is outright terrorism imo and has no place in war. Attack a supply depot or some other strategic point but a fucking hospital? A place dedicated to treating any human being regardless of politics, status, etc. blown up.

    Dogs. The lot of them. May the toll of the war bell ring loudest and the longest among them and each of their supporters.

      No I didn’t miss it. These words mean things already. Terrorism is something non-state entities engage in. When nations do it they are called acts of war.

      If a bunch of American burn down a bar in Canada that would be terrorism. If the US army did the same thing it would be a legal justification for Canada to declare war. That’s because militaries are acting on behalf of the country while random citizens are not.

      There’s no reason for this to change unless you hold to the idea that somehow terrorism is worse than acts of war or war crimes which is pretty childish and ignorant.

        Okay so you’re arguing pedantics. Let’s do it.

        Can you find any official global sources that define terrorism vs an act of war?

        I couldn’t but I only checked for a short while.

          What does arguing pedantics mean? Note pedantics isn’t a word.

          Yes the UN codes regarding war crimes.

            Arguing pedantics = conversational way of saying that you are being pedantic.

            Define terrorism not war crimes, obviously. Nobody was arguing for the definition of war crimes, and just because something isn’t a formal war crime, doesn’t mean it’s not something else (which would possibly include but not limit to only terrorism)
