      Erasing data that is used for military reconnaissance in a hostile country is not a crime.

        Let me guess, would you approve ukraine burning libraries in russia? It is a hostile country where every single russian is hostile, after all. Libraries are a source of knowledge and knowledge can be used for war. Even educational institutions need to be shut down as they aid in research for war related purposes.

          If they set up a military installation inside a library with the purpose of harming Ukraine, then yes. Aside from that, this is a ridiculous comparison.

      Manslaughter is a crime. How would you defend your country when the enemy is killing your people?

        If ukraine hacks and deletes nasa’s servers would you still defend ukraine or label people calling out the perpetrators as nationalists? Replace russia with america and your perspective changes dramatically.

          Sure I wouldn’t. I’m quite thankful they hacked Russia instead.
