The people who make missiles are complicit, and are partially responsible for the deaths that result from them. And yes, that raises awkward questions about the military industrial complex, and about other countries and people who are also doing it.

But it's basic cause and effect, some people built a missile, some people ordered its use, some people launched it at the target. All of them bear some portion of the responsibility for the end result, any other conclusion is not entirely honest.

Are you ready to apply the same standard to the people who work on war drones at google? (my guess, not)
That would depend on how are used.

There are international laws regulating war, and the fact is that Russia toke great pleasure into violating each single one of them. Systematically. Deliberately. All while telling lies and jokes to inflict the greatest pain possible to the population. It is an spectacle absolutely hideous.

And now they wonder why aren't attracting any international sympathy lately

What drones developed by googlers are being used for terror campaigns against civilian infrastructure?
