One of the few big companies that seems to have some morals (Ben & Jerry's, not Unilever).
They even sued Unilever last year because Unilever silenced them expressing support for Palestinian refugees.

I don't know if this was a test run or an actual operation of some kind, but Russia evidently wants to carry out more of these attacks, as they have been mapping out these cables for years now, and have recently been running national internet outage drills.

This spring marks the highest rate of military conscription that Russia has seen in 14 years. In late March, Russian President Vladimir Putin issued a decree ordering 160,000 men aged 18 to 30 to be called up.
According to Ukraine's Eastern Human Rights Group (EHRG), at least 300 people from the occupied territories were conscripted into the Russian army in fall 2024
"After their training, many conscripts are sent to the front upon signing a contract with the Russian army," Lysianskyi says. This decision is sometimes voluntary, but often made under duress due to a lack of alternatives, he adds.

"She explained that it was in a military camp, and that I would be like a caretaker with tasks like cleaning and cooking..."
But once in Russia, Samuel was in for a surprise. Instead of cooking utensils and cleaning products, he was given a Kalashnikov – which he accepted very reluctantly.
Samuel found himself in uniform without knowing exactly who he was fighting for, or in which unit. "The contracts they made us sign are doctored. We don't have a copy of the document, so we don't get the salary we were supposed to. Apparently, the Russian commander who made us sign gets part of it back, so it's a whole chain."

Giving The Guardian the benefit of the doubt: because they took time to verify its authenticity before reporting on it.
More likely reason: urgency and BREAKING NEWS gets more clicks.

Exactly. This title is just clickbait.

I know it's not what you meant when you made the comparison, but the US-Vietnam war was also devastating for millions of Vietnamese civilians. Unfortunately, that is also likely going to be the case in Iran.
