It’s not exclusive to any one group. The main problem here is they’re engaging (allegedly) in good faith - using a lot of publicity from widely known people, posting updates, showing their heading etc. Meanwhile their opponent does not give a shit about acting in good faith.

Kinda like trying to talk sense into someone who’s only interested in beating you up and will never change their mind about it.

For some reason they either refuse to accept the fact that they won’t be treated fairly, so they keep trying to do stuff by the book (doesn’t work against liars). Or maybe they were just trying to get some publicity, and in turn inspire more attempts. Idk, I’m not them.
I am pretty sure they expected it to go south. But hey, at least they can say they tried. Perhaps that was the goal - to try.

Should be kept that way imo. The risk of telling him is not worth it

Are they? They stopped letting the americans tour their nuke facilities a while ago, basically nullifying that part of the agreement. What’s stopping them from doing the same again?

1100 kg of explosives apparently, but yeah wish it was more spectacular

Eventually you’ll pee red, that’s your bladder lining saying bye-bye

Why don’t they use drones lol. Smaller, faster, doesn’t risk anyone’s life, and if the hardware’s right they’ll have free reign (for a while).

edit to add my reply:

They don’t care about activists, if the goal is to distribute aid getting killed seems counter-intuitive.

edit: also drones are dirt cheap, so what if some of your quads get shot, you can launch hundreds at once

edit2: and depending on the speed and size, the chances of shooting them down go down. I don’t think they have trophies on every meter of coastline or loads of EW for every frequency

Just in case it isn’t clear: I’m proposing it as a last-mile delivery vehicle, not as a total replacement
