I support ukraines right to do this. They got invaded. Putin actually doesn’t benefit from these assassinations OR the pipeline attack.

You probably thought Putin killed dugina, even though it was fairly obvious who was behind it.

So when some Islamic extremists bombed any Western countries in a terror attack as retaliation for what the West did in the middle east that means they have every right to do so and we shouldn't brutally root it out?

Not all Islamic terror attacks are the same. September 11th really had no pretext, and was responding to Saudi internal politics.

Iraqi resistance attacking American soldiers and media was not something I loved seeing, but it was an inevitable and somewhat justifiable reaction to an illegal invasion, yes.

That being said, while the invasion of Iraq was illegal and bad, what the Russians are doing in Ukraine is an order of magnitude worse, and they should expect a worse reaction.
