| Not relevant to the point - "I gave my item to my former friend Paul". For some reason or for some other, it happens. And miscalculations in game theory happen ("he wouldn't, given..."). |

Let us stick to a fitting analysis for the point of the limited trust entities can give each other, and let us stick to actual events for what the crimes committed are concerned (for the respect due). | |

| ▲ | baxtr an hour ago | parent | prev [-] | | Miscalculation is the right word. And: it is relevant. You gave away the relevancy yourself. It is called game theory. Games have rules. Break rules see what happens. Or instead be prepared. Seems like someone broke rules but wasn't thinking through consequences or didn't care about them |

| Case in point: a naive belief in "high moral". Bad guy (Ru) attacks good guy - bad, punish, cancel. When good guy (US) attacks bad guy - that's different, whataboutism etc. Such POV falls apart when good guy (US) attacks another good guy (EU), and while you may chose to ignore such possibility, European leaders don't (a rare case of competence on their side). |
