Thats an interesting one. I thought it was posts including and/or subjects inciting political debate and disagreement that was the issue? To my eye, thats a link to a news report about whats happening and inevtiably that will explore the arguments that surround it. Can that not be signposted? Otherwise surely any of the rest of the posts regarding news-reporting and accounts about whats happening between Russian and Ukraine are entirely verboten too? As Karl von Clausewitz put it:
'War is nothing but a continuation of politics with the admixture of other means'.
.... and as 90% of discussion on this forum is about war machines, their funding, design, purpose and strategic deployment, we're on a sticky wicket otherwise. We've certainly discussed Putin's political role in this war. And the wider economics of it too.
My impression was that the 'no P*****s' rule is a fine line and slightly interpretive rule in the context of this thread, put there in practical terms to stop boring tribalism (?) - and, well, war being verbally replicated here! The principal trigger for admin intervention seems defined most clearly when domestic US political dogma is espoused. I totally get why thats a hiding to nowhere.
No criticism of any parties intended, just trying to clarify for my own mind where the borders of forum rule and acceptability lie.
