Well I for one (not GP) am actually quite glad that it is literally illegal to publicly display here in Germany, especially with the current political climate going on here and elsewhere. You want to just out yourself as a Nazi? Okay, off to prison you go. That's good. AFAIK there are exemptions for temples and such, e.g. for artistic uses like Games, some Wolfenstein games replaced swastikas in the German release because nobody was sure if that's legal.
I don't think it is actually illegal to display in any country that has a lot of people using it religiously, but yeah it's a sad fact that it still has to be illegal in so many places such a long time later.

I guess he means cruel as opposed to "accidental". He's trying to make clear that it happens deliberately.

This particular Russian attack seems to have been retaliatory in nature, because right before it Ukraine attacked Russian territory including Moscow with hundreds of drones at the same time.
Reported on here for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBAIalMNCAA
And here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NbxXJJJNZk
I figure the logic of escalation here is something like "If Ukraine can already make massive strikes on Moscow with self produced drones there isn't much sense in keeping up the range restrictions on NATO equipment anymore".

Hmm, the thumbnail change doesn't seem to have federated to lemmy.ml or other instances (so far at least), but it shows on lemmy.ca. Interesting. Thanks for updating it.

Besides the cross-posts there is another discussion in

I see the Reuters video has already been posted to this community, so I'll refrain from cross-posting the Guardian article here as well. @engene@lemmy.ca if you edit the post and set the following as "Thumbnail URL" it will show up in the websites/apps better: https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/e439f142-4f5c-475a-b1b0-d0ee102de6f7.jpeg
