I mean I don't think that forgetting our principles and indiscriminately screwing with everything inside Russia's borders because it's all fair game is the way to go either. So for example in this case if we want to damage the censorship agency we ideally remove PII of anyone who is innocent within the leak. I.e. anyone that doesn't actually work for the agency at least.

By analogy, if you hate the prison system, make sure you are punishing jailors rather than prisoners

Accurate statistics are hard to come by. Also, are brainwashed cult members truly supportive of their cult leader?

[spacemanmatt]

No, but from a tactical perspective they are exactly enemy combatants.

[brnt]

Sure, but is there any way to 'disarm' the brainwashed?

[trasz]

Of course - same way we solved that problem with Nazis.
