Illuminati-R-Us

Upload your whereabouts on social media, get tracked down and killed. Kind of like the US Special Forces bases which were tracked the same way because squaddies are too stupid/vain not to upload their sporting prowess even at a secret base.

So if Ukraine is behind it, is that a war crime?

Yes, but just another in a long list.

A high-ranking Ukrainian intelligence member has since denied he was a target for Ukraine. "He was apparently targeted by his own people, for refusing take out orders to carry out rocket attacks with a predictybly high civilian deat toll."

I notice I couldn't hav anwered Matep's question. Is it, and why is it a war crime to target high-ranking enemy personel behind the front lines? Would it be a war crime if Ukraine successfully targeted Uncle Volodya in a drone strike while he is having himself photagraphed shirtless on horseback?

It seems this individual was a former combatant, so a current civilian.

I would also want evidence that the Ukrainian was telling the truth.

A high-level Ukrainian intelligence officer has given the route "kudos" on Strava.

Or at least someone with the same name has.

So I'm going on a long bicycle ride now.

I'll first verify that my Strava settings are not set to "public".
