@ottawascot@DavirossRoss@omgreilly@BBCNews As I said, technically, the acid test is a victor’s court martial. Like use of phosphorous bombs against human targets. If there were people at the target, was their use deliberate.
@DavirossRoss@ottawascot@omgreilly@BBCNews The point is that civilian loss has to be justifiable by the military objectives. Attacking infrastructure that causes dispropotional civilian casualties is a war crime. Think of it like,say, blowing up the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant during a tactical engagement.
