In other words, nothing has changed and nothing will change in the future.
Correct, it is what it is.
In Africa whenever a children dies of bombing, a mother cried
In Ukraine whenever a children died of bombing, a mother will also cried
In Syria, you see enemy combatants, you shoot
In Donbass, you hear someone speaking Russians. you direct your artillery fire to the source of the sound.
There's no difference at all on how human 'operate' under similar circumstance. Certainly barbarism of war doesn't suddenly operate in different mode just because it happens on European soil.
The situation that Ukraine finds itself now is proportional to the amount of resistance they offered, the Russian commanders simply reply to the evolving situations.
During early in the war, Russian missile strikes are directed against munitions warehouse, airbase and tarmacs, it didn't work to their plan as they wish, so they start bombing Ukraine's electricity, when it becomes clear that it doesn't work either and situations are fast becoming like sh*t, they start bombing apartments in the hope of destroying the enemy will to fight, the same tactics used very successfully in Syria and in accordance to the airpower theory of bombing the enemy to submissions.
This is how military evolves
, regradless of the color of the flag.
have you start bombing their air base ? Check
does it work ? NO
Why not try bomb their electricity then ? Check
does it work ? NO
Why not bomb the population centers then ? Check
And so on.....................
Can You, please, tell me then, when the history started? Did it started with the invasion of evel West (England and alike) into East or East (mongols) invading the West? Who is to blame starting this vicious cycle, spiralling out in Ukraine at the moment?
