"In the past 24 hours Kellogg has repeatedly lied about the targets of the missile strikes on Kiev...characterizing them as civilian when in fact they were not."

Missiles ain't free, so I seriously doubt they would be used on anything other than strategic targets. If the goal is to harm civilians the best targets would still be infrastructure such as electrical power distribution.

That is correct, and what Kellogg cited as targeting civilian infrastructure was in reality the Antonov drone manufacturing plant in Kiev.

Question: Does cold war dinosaur Keith Kellogg not understand the difference, or is he just a deceitful forever war shill?

I’ll have to try to hunt down Kellogg’s actual comments, in full context, to see if he was differentiating between drones and missiles. The vast majority of the strikes were by (cheap) drones.

BTW, in GW2, the US used special “carbon fiber” warhead missiles to attack Iraq’s electrical power distribution. These are designed to (only) trip breakers and cause very temporary outages. Human Rights monitors have been able to ID only two exceptions (very close together in time and distance and may have been due to a rogue pilot or commander.)
