How do NATO articles cover targeted assassins against government officials of member states, by outside powers?

Because IF the Greek Prime Minister had been killed, I could see Greece going 'he was the target!'

I don't see what the big deal is. These are military offices in a country that is supplying one side weapons in a war.
Of course they are going to consider every weapon they have.

At this point, I think the best thing the West/Anyone that wants to support Ukraine could do is to hire every 'security contractor' and mercenary group they can, and send them to the Ukraine to fight Russia.

Re: Are my numbers right (ANH trench run)?

A small question, but where does 500 km come from? While not part of the movie of course, but when the Death Star was upscaled from a smallish sphere with large windows, Ralph McQuarrie calculated that it was 150 km in diameter with a one mile wide equatorial trench. I can't recall any source placi...

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 2024 thread

So, by the numbers, assuming they're all accurate, Ukraine and Russia are losing troops at about the same rate.

Not really sustainable, considering Russia has a massive population difference over the Ukraine.

Besides providing aid to the Ukraine, I don't see what the fuck anyone else has done in the past unless they have boots on the ground in this war. (Ukraine, Russia).

If that's your criteria for warlordism, then we've been there a long time. Hence the massive size of countries like the USA, Canada, and Australia.
