    Careful how that is done. Hitting random things tends to make people more in favor of war - get back at those who destroyed the neighbor’s house. Hit things that are more impersonal like ammunition factories instead.

      Funny how war crimes are assumed, I’m obviously talking about militarily valid targets.
      But yes you are right, committing war crimes will only lead to Russians wanting revenge.

        I’ve hake seen many comments here that favor war crimes. Sad but all too common and I don’t think they are bots*

          Well I haven’t seen that as something widespread, but maybe I tend to ignore it?
          Most here are very much against Russian war crimes, so it’s a double standard if they support Ukraine doing it.

          But there have been actions taken by Ukraine that have been called war crimes by the Russians, which are not. Russia is trying to create a false equivalence.
          Be careful not to fall for that either.

            It’s probably more things like saying “Ukraine should return the favor of Russia targeting civilians.” I’m not sure if that violates the rule, but I could see an argument that it doesn’t. It’s wrong though.
