So, the simple explanation is that people are creating versions of Emmanuel Macron that play to their base and make it easier for their supporters to hate him, and to continue pushing for the premature end of his mandate.
The label doesn't matter, just the effect that politicians can create.

Ukrainian energy system was the main target of Russia's attack. Various power plants attacked in several regions.

We all know the stages of reaction: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.

Take it from some who teaches about drone strikes, “I shed no tear for that guy” and “this is bad, it shouldn’t have happened” can be normal reactions to have simultaneously.
Opposition to political violence isn’t about personal sympathy for an individual target per se, it’s about society.

Explicit calls for violence, even war on many Americans, is very bad. Even worse since they have no idea who killed Kirk or why.
But if you’re not familiar with these prominent right-wing figures, they regularly advocate violence and repression against the broadly defined Left, often based on lies.

This would suggest that this was a deliberate Russian intrusion into NATO airspace, while not intended as an intentional attack. Which of course doesn’t mean that it should be treated as harmless or trivial.
‘Polish officials suspect that a subsequent wave of armed Shaheds was headed to Ukraine’s western city of Lviv, and that the Gerbera decoys were deliberately flown into Poland to skirt Ukrainian air defences around Lviv.’

Did Russia commit an act of war against Poland? Ask how sending some 15 drones into another country would be perceived, and responded to, if it would have been a terrorist organisation or fringe small country that had done it? Russia is treated differently just because people still fear Russia.
