When waging war someone innocent is always going to get caught in the crossfire, which is one of the many reasons war is bad. But to call all acts of war terrorism, and all terrorism an act of war, is to pretend words don’t have meanings.
minus-squareT00l_shed@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up26arrow-down3·2 years agoNo, I’m not calling all acts of war terrorism, or all terrorism acts of war. For example, Ukranian artillery striking Russian troops in a trench most certainly an act of war, and not terrorism. Detonation explosives attached to people who aren’t aware, who are potentially innocent, potentially in crowded locations, in hospitals, or schools, isn’t an act of war, and is text book terrorism.
