    You must become intimately familiar with your opponent, with their movements, their mind, in order to do effective violence, to cause effective destruction.

    Or you could be completely indifferent and drone strike them from your office.

      I mean you don’t think that the people who do the drone strikes have just outsourced that process to a series of bureaucratic apparatuses? The man who pulls the trigger is the last step in that process, before that, they have people dedicated to watching and selecting targets.

        I mean, I hope so. But considering how many wedding convoys have been drone-striked, I’m not so sure. Maybe it’s true in Russia-Ukraine though.

          I mean I think it’s pretty likely that those wedding convoys are just being drone striked because they specifically want to inflict as much pain and displeasure as possible. Terror, one might say. “Strategic bombing”. It might very well be accidental, but it might also just be the case that they pull the trigger and then apologize later.
