Yep. During the Civil War, both sides burned bridges. And during WW II everybody bombed bridges, and factories, and rail yards, and etc. All of those targets had civilians present. Billy Sherman was correct. War is hell.
This wasn’t the least bit surprising. It was bound to come regardless in a conflict or not. However that IS an attack against Russia so we’ll soon see how Russia responds.
Zelensky still trying to provoke a Nato war with Russia no doubt..
“I ... assume that the view under consideration is something like this: no doubt in the past we were justified in attacking German cities. But to do so was always repugnant and now that the Germans are beaten anyway we can properly abstain from proceeding with these attacks. This is a doctrine to which I could never subscribe. Attacks on cities like any other act of war are intolerable unless they are strategically justified. But they are strategically justified in so far as they tend to shorten the war and preserve the lives of Allied soldiers. To my mind we have absolutely no right to give them up unless it is certain that they will not have this effect. I do not personally regard the whole of the remaining cities of Germany as worth the bones of one British Grenadier”
