    But apartment buildings and shit? When they hit yours first? Fair game dude. That’s how war works.

    No, it’s explicitly not. I know you’re American and thus skipped the entire part of History class based on American war crimes and the 200 countries that signed agreements to not do war crimes, but you are describing war crimes. Explicitly.

    But if someone starts one with you destroy them, that’s literally how war is.

    No, that is how you create a state of permanent war. The civilians that hated their government? They now exclusively hate you. They will spend the next 500 years attacking you asymmetrically doing ‘terrorism.’ And you will have EARNED that terrorism.

    The US was rightfully attacked on 9/11. Because they were doing this. Because they always do this. When you kill civilians you create future terrorists that will dedicate their death to you.

      The line being used from Russia when they did this to Ukraine first is that they had military targets.

      So if that’s true and Ukraine says the same thing where is the war crime?

      Also if the citizens hate you because you defended yourself from being invaded then fuck them. That’s not your problem as long as you can defend yourself from them invading you again.

      You shouldn’t be hated for defending yourself.
