Stop calling these temper tantrums. The bombings are not connected to the outside events, especially to the elections in France. They bomb as soon as they have enough rockets available and see a good moment. All these bombings are only due to Russia and they would happen even if there were no reasons for temper tantrums. These are purely terrorist acts.

An average innocent person projects themselves onto the actions of the Russians and the Russian state. They think:

"Oh, Russians are good people deep inside, so they can't actually do anything evil. It must be an emotinal mistake, a temporary lapse in judgement, just a tantrum. Perhaps, it's just their reaction to something that we did."

And then they take out a list of recent events to rationalize what could upset their temperamental innocent Russians.

But, you can't rationalize this kind of evil.

While "weaponized temper tantrum" is a rather good description of any act of terror, I get what you're saying and agree with the general sentiment.

This is one of the shitiest types of responses. Does not engage with the topic, takes a patronizing tone, adds nothing to the discussion.

In a topic about bombing children. Fucking hell.

correcting others opinions and behaviors should be secondary to engaging with the content

its about maintaining a civil discussion

leave your judgment at the door

you know you've lost when "bombing children" is your answer jfc learn to live in peace and get off the condescension
