The ambassador was warned that the response to Ukrainian strikes using British weapons on Russian territory could be any British military facilities and equipment on the territory of Ukraine and beyond, the Russian Foreign Ministry reports.

This is just basic international law on what qualifies as a legal target though. The Ambassadors all already know that.

Repeated warnings without action are only so much hot air, let's see them attack those facilities if they're serious.

Don't they need to be dead first? Since a living creature takes in carbon to survive, the amount of carbon-14 only starts going down after death.

Didn't Russia officially replace it with the AK-12 & AK-15? Or at least phasing it out in favour of.

While piracy isn't stealing, piracy does decrease profits of the rightful owner.

Only if you would otherwise have bought it. If you never had any intention to buy the thing, the rightful owner loses nothing.

It really sort of depends on the size of the community. The one I'm in that's just me and my friends has about 30 people in it, and the rate of posting is quite comfortable outside of the odd 5000 word rant

Even ignoring how silly believing imperial propaganda about "barbarians" is

It's equally silly to imagine the people the Romans conquered as being better simply because they were the victims of empire. Rome didn't fall out of a coconut tree, and the societies surrounding it were no less reliant on violence and oppression.

province and most cities had battles and sieges and sacks at some point, whether against other romans or foreigners.

Sure, but plenty of those were hundreds of years apart. A battle in 1850 doesn't mean that now is violent or peaceful and for some of these places, these are the timescales we're talking about.
