Let me remind you that it is forbidden to kill people anywhere, in any state, even in diametrically opposed ones.
Whether it's North Korea or France, in both places, killing is forbidden, and the state will come for you if you decide to do such a thing.
Not even all states can kill—the death penalty doesn't exist everywhere.

A soldier has the right to kill; moreover, it's expected of him by the authorities (as is his readiness to die).
That is to say, wars are legal ways of disposing of large masses of unwanted people, which Putin has now empirically proven.
If AI isn't artificially slowed down, then it's likely that before the end of this century, there will be a whole series of large and deadly conflicts.
Ideally, elites want to create permanent points of conflict and tension—regions of controlled instability.
In them, troublemakers, the destitute, the displaced, the unemployed, those who don't fit into the economy, and so on can be dumped and disposed of.
