He was both. He played a leading role in the planning of terrorist attacks, he was esponsible for the 1983 US embassy bombing and the 1983 Beirut barracks bombings
Hezbollah is an organisation that was founded to liberate Lebanon from occupation and defend it from further invasion.

Desperate stuff sending the air crew of your only aircraft carrier to the front line. Wow.Stuff 22/09:
Russian stuff blowing up: Russian aircraft carrier crew sent to the front lines
The crew of the Admiral Kuznetsov, Russia’s only aircraft carrier, have apparently become expendable. Russia now has as many operational aircraft carriers as Bolivia. Another 44 Russian officers gone. And another 1,500 Russians off the battlefield,...www.dailykos.com

It’s crazy to imagine the long term affect this will have on the Russian tax payer. Billions of $s worth of military infrastructure destroyed.Stuff 22/09:

That’s on top of the munitions they’ve used, the salaries of soldiers.
Over half a million working age men dead/injured and no longer earning money and paying taxes.
Sanctions from the West.
Terrible future ahead of Russia.
All for what?
Without derailing the thread, I wonder what the definition of a terrorist attack is.

That ship has been out of action for 7 years. It will likely never sail again.

Terrorism is violence with a political objective. Violence includes property destruction blowing up a business or hospital when no one is inside.

I hope this reflects the reality of Russian strategic failure, but I've no insight as to how accurate it is.
I am honestly still holding on to hope that all these predictions come true, but as time goes by, and the quantity of "honestly, the end is nigh for Russia" style tweets/quote/analyses i see piling up, the more skeptical i become of them. I guess it's an attrition of the mind.
