I think both sets of civilians have the right to expect a life free of military oppression and terror, largely uninvolved with the actions of those in charge.

it’s deeply infuriating and heartbreaking each time I see stories about a given military organisation taking it out on people just living their lives, from Ukraine to Russia to China to Palestine to Israel and so on: innocent civilians dying (or worse) because of the decisions of military forces & their leash holders.

GDPR is a protection that applies to European citizens, regardless of where they’re situated. companies don’t get a pass because they blocked IP addresses coming from Europe.

now, enforcement outside the EU is a challenge, but the law is written in such a way that it covers the personal info of every EU citizen regardless of location.
