Seems typical: illegal actions against people you don't like? win an award. illegal actions against people you like? we need prison time and sanctions.

I think it's a bit of bad faith to characterize "aggressor in an unprovoked, expansionist war against your country and who has killed or wounded 400,000 of your countrymen" as simply "people you don't like".

I hope Kristopher Kortright stays well. He's done great work here.

But it seems a major OpSec flaw to allow one's identity to be publicized after cracking into the wartime systems of a genocidally aggressive state known for epidemic levels of "window cancer" and killing people on other nations territory using exotic and non-exotic means (polonium tes, nerve agents, or just dozens of bullets and running over with at truck, all well-publicized Russian murders)...

It's like tipping somebody on wanted list versus resisting masked government official, something like ICE. We absolutely need to level the playing field here.

In wars it's important who started first. In Russia-Ukraine war this is quite clear.
