From a physical sense, kinetic energy is 0.5 X mass velocity X velocity.
With respect to the PR approach on this - seems to be different from war, which typicall involves making a lot of different masses attain a high velocity so that the E=.5mV2 breaks things and kills people.
But I'm not a polititian...
