“If some cyberattacks are acts of violence, then perhaps they could justify defensive violence or counterattack. But the same premise means employing offensive cyber-attacks ought to be seen as a grave matter – as grave, in some cases, as physical attack” https://t.co/RC9e9zvw45

“Next year is the 250th anniversary of the U.S. revolution and independence. And we seem to have gone from one king to a self-proclaimed king.”

@IrishTimesOpEd @CJFinlay Just war resists“that other force…that does not kill, which is to say, the force that doesn’t kill yet. It surely will kill, or maybe it will..it can kill at any moment”— political slavery.
Just war is about defeating the power to inflict death at will, not proportional deaths.

Ukraine is not to blame for this war brought about by Russia’s illegal invasion.

We stand with Ukraine. 🇺🇦 🇮🇪
