I’d think that targeting civilians would have negative value. A waste of ammo and more grist for the neocon propaganda machine.
Weren’t 100,000 civilians killed during “shock and awe” over phoney WMDs?
Don’t remember the demand for war crimes tribunals then.
Targeting civilians works to demoralize the attacked population, their men who are fighting, and causes refugees which adds to chaos and eats up resources that could be used to resist the invasion.
“I’d think that targeting civilians would have negative value. A waste of ammo and more grist for the neocon propaganda machine.”

But the retards can’t see that.
“I’d think that targeting civilians would have negative value. “
That’s one way to put it I guess. But fairly callous.
Not if your goal is to pressure the Ukrainian government to capitulate.
