Could you clarify "they"? Do you mean all russians? Including the ones in jail right now for protesting the war?

During World War 2, did anyone think about those poor Germans thrown in jails for protesting the war?

I mean, sure, those aren’t the offenders. But because Russia is a terrorist state, targeting civilians instead of opponent’s military, any act against them - anything that hurts Russia - would be morally justified. It’s just a lesser evil.

> By purposefully attacking civilians they gave up their rights.

The scope is pretty well-defined.

Then giving out personal information unlimited to that well-defined scope is not justified nor well defended by this argument. You can't have it both ways.
