    Z should hit Russian data centers.

      It's a mistake to blindly adopt tit-for-tat. Presumably Z has a list of important targets and is working his way down. Maybe data centers rank, maybe they don't.

      During the Battle of Britain, Churchill ordered a bombing attack on Berlin. Consequently, Hitler ordered Göring to switch from attacking military infrastructure to attacking London. This is widely considered to have been a significant strategic mistake that helped the British win the Battle of Britain.

        I would imagine data centers would have more military value for Ruzzia than Wildberry, but also a significant escalation (which Ruzzia has now seemingly done)

        Data centers are now dual use infrastructure and valid war targets

          Discussion of certain tactics as "escalation" is a bit silly. Both sides have already escalated about as far as they're able — short of using WMDs.

            "both sides" - is Ruzzia primarily attacking military targets or civilians, cam you recall?

            We could also check how many children have been kidnapped by the both sides.

              Ruzzians hunt and kill babushkas for sport, sickening

                  the UkrainianWarVideoReport subreddit has video evidence for some cases

                      Plenty of sources provided in this thread. You either have your head stuck in the ground or you&#x27;re a paid shill. Go away.
