    Maybe bombing Russian cities is the only way to rattle the population? But I don’t know, how is the Russian population doing at the moment? Is all just fine and dandy? I read articles about an impeding collapse, but that doesn’t seem to have happened yet.

      yes, terrorbombing is definitely gonna fix this. it worked so well against the nazis, the japanese, the brits, the koreans, the vietnamese, …, …, …

      Aside from the moral questions, bombing enemy civilians strengthens the resolve of the opposing side rather than weakening it. It’s popular at home to bomb opposing cities, but it isn’t strategically effective.

        Ukraine doesn’t have the munitions capacity to do anything but hit where it hurts. This means military and industrial targets.
