Aggression is defense. Defense is aggression.
Two parallel examples of Orwell in today's "news".

1.
"News"papers are suffering from a hack or hardware failure. They are, of course, automatically blaming RUSSIA_BOTS, based on the usual false assumptions.
Media outlets are engaged in a total genocidal POGROM AND WAR against Americans. Every issue of every "news"paper kills people by inciting "terrorist" attacks and suicide and crime and war. Many of them, including the San Diego "news"paper at the center of this hack, are OWNED BY FOREIGNERS.
A hacker who shuts down a media outlet would be HELPING America. Why would Russia or China want to STRENGTHEN us?
Hacking USA media is a DEFENSE AGAINST CRIME, not a crime.

WSJ discusses NoKo's clever and flexible network of money transfers, designed to evade USA sanctions.
A timber company it controlled in Africa had earned $100,000 by selling wood to a Chinese firm. Pyongyang needed the money to pay its foreign suppliers of oil and other critical products. But U.S. and international sanctions, intended to force North Korea to give up its nuclear program, limit its access to the global financial system. So it turned, U.S. authorities say, to an illicit workaround.
ILLICIT? If you believe in international "law", our sanctions are prima facie ILLICIT. Blockades and sanctions are acts of war. So an attempt to evade an illegal war is a DEFENSE AGAINST CRIME, not a CRIME.
