The damning difference here is that in WWII precision munitions were not available so collateral damage was unavoidable.

OTOH with today’s precision weapons hitting civilian areas actually indicates explicit targeting of civilians.

War crime.

Huh? We went out of our way to kill as many civilians as possible. Nuking and firebombing cities.

But even to your point, Russian has no where near the precision weapons the United States has. They are actually using a lot of WWII munitions.

Remember Bill Clinton bombing the Aspirin factory in Sudan and killing civilians even with all the precision weapons” at his disposal?
And this is from 2017:

More than 200 civilians killed in suspected U.S. airstrike in Iraq

You really want to continue this conversation?

So are the Russians diabolical assassins with precision weapons that can kill particular babies from hundreds of miles away?

Or are they just an indiscriminate-killing horde of orcs with third-rate equipment?

Can’t do both, except in the neo-con propaganda-fed delusion.

The only war crime is Zelensky continuing to house military assets in densely populated areas.

First, we don’t know that there were no military in the targeted buildings.
Second, so called civilians produce the resources to sustain an army. They can be fair game so stuff your bleating, libtard war crime cries.
