  doesnt match the definition

  oh really? what definition are you working with? mine is “using violence against civilian population in order to achieve your political goals”. for example, if someone threatens to bomb civilian infrastructure of a country if the government doesn’t do what he wants…

    Yes, that term usually denotes a person or group not in power.

    Google says

    A person, group, or organization that uses violent action, or the threat of violent action, to further political goals; frequently in an attempt to coerce either a more powerful opponent, (such as a citizen or group targeting a government), or conversely, a weaker opponent, (such as a government, or even an internal citizen or group, being targeted by a larger government).

      your own quote literally disproves what you said before it 😂

      (such as a government, or even an internal citizen or group, being targeted by a larger government).

        So, I see, you’re painting Trump and Putin as the underdog. Everyone pushing them around
