That they are registered makes them an institution of the state and purely political.
If they are, as you state, an institution of the state, and they are used to attack another state, I would say yes! If you think not, then our army, which is an institution of our state, could attack any country, and it would not be an act of war. Driving and war may seem the same, but one is a transportation system, the other a destructive endeavor. And the NYT isn't even responsible for what they print, but in Russia, the government is responsible (since they now control much of the media)!

So, the the government is responsible for some state institutions and not for others. The government is then just another institution of the state. The state is responsible even when the government is not. But, since the government is not the responsible party, how can elected officials of the government be called to account? So, who can? Anybody? Who is responsible?
