Article 25 of the Hague Convention of 1899 laid down that “The attack or bombardment of towns, villages, habitations or buildings which are not defended, is prohibited”. This is why the German bombing of Warsaw and London, the British bombing of Dresden, and the American bombing of Hiroshima were all perfectly legal under international law: because those cities were defended.

You've got to be kidding me.
So according to you, if anyone is defending themselves from foreign attacks, then their women, children and old folks should be slaughtered?
So why are you shilling for Ukraine over a Russian attack that may have killed civilians then? You should be perfectly happy with it.
